I just updated Shapr3D and immediately noticed something that makes zero sense. Before, when entering dimensions, I could input fractions directly using the number pad (e.g., 1,3,4 for 1 3/4). Now, with the latest update, that option is completely gone.
Even though my dimensions are still displayed as fractions in the drawing, I can’t actually input them as fractions anymore. Instead, I have to manually convert them to decimals before entering values. Why?? What kind of backwards change is this?
I reached out to support, and they confirmed this isn’t a bug—it’s an intentional change. According to them, this is the “intended behavior” now. “Currently, fractions are not supported, and only decimal input is available.” So apparently, removing functionality and making workflows slower is considered a feature now.
This was one of those small but incredibly useful features that made working with Shapr3D smooth and efficient. There’s no reason for it to be removed. My workflow has halved in efficiency.
Anyone else find this change completely pointless? I’m honestly considering moving away from the software just because of this.
edit: yes, all values are set to fractional in settings.
