https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ2ob8F3sJQ This may be an older version of Blender but it's the version i tried, have they fixed this ? i mean they can pretty much take the package where ever they want, something i feel autodesk can't do for fear of disgruntling its precious maya legacy users, a practice i find damnable cheap and cowardly. even if you are not going to change the core interface, initiatives such as CAD Junkie ZEN are a breath of fresh air in this regard and free to boot letting people experience tools in an up to date efficient new layout.
