Yes, that is true. A good alterrrnative, though the ability to move files between different CC apps is efficient.  ... View more

Hi JMathews - I remember you from last year's Adobe MAX sessions on Adobe Dimension. You and your team did amazing work. I loved the tutorials and I was so inspired that I ended up incorporating AD into my curriculum [for HigerEd]. I just registered again for the MAX in October only to find out that AD was dropped and a few new apps [Substance] were added. That is great but the fact remains that those of us that invested time, energy and resources into AD app are now left stranded. To make things worse, it's not clear if "Substance" will be added to the Adobe CC plan according to a few of your costumer reps. Now, I know in the comments here it says that Substance apps will be added to the Adobe CC Educator Plan but it has been back-tracked a few times now. It's now August 17 and not available for download [only for an additional purchase]. Our semester starts next week and if AD is no longer updating [hence, a viable app], then the curriculum I just finished building is not sustainable. This is a big problem [a fail on my end as an educator for not properly assessing the future of this app within Adobe]. In order to fix this, I now need to re-learn the new apps and re-do the curriculum on time for the next semester. But, we also have deadlines to work with and with every day that passes, all of us as educators feel the added pressure to re-design any coursework that previously included AD. I understand I am partiality ranting right now but it does not seem that everyone at Adobe understands that dependability in the digital world is the most essential component. So, when is Substance actually being added to the Creative Plan? I certainly do not mean disrespect but I have a lot of work to do and another purcahse will not fly [at least not in a major public university].  ... View more
