New Ribbon interface, what do you think?

I hate the ribbon in Connect. I'm with you on SS3. Best interface to date for Micostation. Keyboard Mapping is awsome. I wish they would abandon the ribbon and stick with what works!

How can I not reply to this!!

I too dislike the ribbon. Mainly because it is just too slow and un-productive. Although not using CONNECT at the moment because it is not stable when I did it was set to use tasks and PM, which worked OK but no where near as quick as SS3. To be honest there is not enough about CONNECT to make it worth the move from SS3. Mind you lets see how update 1 improves things.

Hi, it seems to me a big step backward, and not think it's a problem to adapt, it is too slow. I just hope again SS3 environment. At the moment I do not change V8i.

I have to agree for now. We use both Civil 3D and Power InRoads, depending upon the client. So my Connect time has been very limited as it can only do drafting for us Civil InRoads users.
But I have come to grips with the Ribbon in Civil 3D and Microsoft Office - although Office usually does not activate context sensitive panels, it does show their tabs highlighted.
In Civil 3D, the workflow of selecting an object and then using the context sensitive ribbon panels works pretty well. For non-Civil 3D elements, we find ourselves using a mixture of traditional and ribbon based workflows.
My testing of Connect showed that only Tables appeared to offer Context Sensitivity. IMHO, without that, the ribbon is only so much "Window Dressing".
Maybe once the vertical applications move to connect, that will change.
Although for us, until our clients move beyond InRoads Ss2, the Connect Version will be as out of reach as the Ss3 and Ss4 versions of InRoads are today.
