It looks like Dell has already bit the bullet and bought 8.5.

It also looks like Dart was about to blow a gasket about autofit not working. It also looks like he may have found a selection of hoops to jump through that might work for some, but apparently not all folks experiencing the autofit blues.

Dart's fix seems to show that you still need Studio for things to work properly in Carrara. I thought DAZ said you wouldn't need Studio for Genesis, et al. to work in Carrara...of did I just dream that?
