Ability to set the default line thickness on pens This is something that is requested in every edition - it was added as a SMART setting for the boards with different pens but the MX series or the 24 version of SMART notebook still does not have any user customizable settings for default pen line width. We still have to click pen, line size dropdown, smallest option, EVERY TIME we change colors. It's infuriating!

Bring back one-dimensional stretching of images Until the latest update, it was possible to stretch images in SMART Notebook horizontally or vertically only, but this ability disappeared in the new version. I've used horizontal image stretching for years, to illustrate how the unique tissue which lines the urinary bladder distorts without tearing as the bladder distends and empties in my A&P I lectures. I'm sure that one-dimensional stretching has applications for other courses' visual demonstrations too. Any chance that such a one-way-only resizing option can be restored? Losing it kind of spoiled one of my best tricks with my Anatomy I displays.

Fix the problems Dear Support Team,
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the latest version of Smart Notebook, which has been causing significant disruptions in my workflow. After using the software for six years, I have never encountered such persistent issues, and I am now reconsidering whether to continue my subscription.
Here is a list of the major problems I’ve encountered:
- The software crashes at least twice per hour, making it highly unreliable.
- It offers to restore lost data after a crash, but this function does not work as promised.
- The handling of tables is terrible, with constant glitches that…

I understand your frustration. If you would be willing to send us some of the .notebook files where you experience these issues, it would help us identify and resolve the issues as quickly as possible.
If so, please reach out to https://www.smarttech.com/connect-with-smart/contact-support to send the files to the Notebook product team.
Thank you.

it would be EXTREMELY nice if smartnotebook 24 could still play nice with mathtype like v22 did. In Notebook 22.0, I used to be able to drag and drop math expressions from Math Type. I'm not sure why this doesn't work anymore with version 24. I would pay money for this functionality to return if possible, as the built in equation editor is just not as robust as the one in mathtype software.

Copying and pasting formatting issues When you copy and paste an image, you use to be able to grab the item by selecting it from the bottom right corner and resize it anyway you like. With this version, you can only make it bigger or smaller. In 22, you could stretch or shorten the image in any direction. You can do this now with shapes that you create , but you cannot do it with images that you paste from somewhere else. This feature was crucial when trying to fit certain images in specific spaces. Please bring this back, thank you.

Crash! Whenever I try to use the snipping tool to add an image from another application, SMART crashes and I lose work.
When prompted to rescue files I click yes but nothing happens - so frustrating!

Bring Back SMART Exchange When I went to go to exchange.smarttech.com to download a notebook file on the website it takes me straight to Lumio by SMART for some reason. When I went to download a smart notebook file on my computer that option is not there, there is only a upload to lumio icon. Please bring back the feature that allows you to download files as SMART Notebook Files on your computer, and SMART Exchange.

There is a need for a Random Number Generator that works inside Notebook with the capabiolitiew that esxisted in the Flash Random numer gene There were many uses that mathematics teachers of all grade levels used the Flash widget Random number generator. It had multiple ways to modify the random numbers that were generated. All we have now are manipulating numbers on a die or with multiple dice. That would be a welcome addition to the interactive capabilities.

Extend page function misaligns Please fix the pen alignment problems when extending a page.
Overall, this software is at its most glitchy and buggy that it's ever been.
When trying to complete a handwriting lesson, using a Smart dedicated lined handwriting paper background, when I extend the page, it messes up the alignment of the pen, so what was once written nicely on the line, is now floating in the air!
This is just one of many glitchy problems. Are your software engineers looking at all these bugs?
4 votesThank you for your feedback. And extra thanks for the video! That was incredibly helpful. We will fix this error in SMART Notebook 24.1, currently scheduled to release in December of this year.

Ability to Lock Infinite Cloner In previous versions, when you used infinite cloner on an object, the object would automatically be locked. This was incredibly useful when creating patterns with students. They could pull the object being cloned and then I could clear the page without losing the object doing the cloning. While infinite cloner is available in N24 as soon as you clear the board, you lose the object you had doing the infinite cloning.

Zoom Feature on a File Page The zoom feature in SMART Notebook is currently quite unintuitive and difficult to use in the classroom.
Default Zoom Level: The default zoom setting is at 230%, which is intended to fill a SMART Board screen. However, this level limits the zoom range, as the maximum zoom is only 300%, meaning you can only magnify content an additional 30%. This limited zoom range doesn’t offer the flexibility needed in a classroom setting, where a larger range would be more helpful. For comparison, a useful magnification tool would allow zooming in and out with larger, practical increments—similar to how a microscope…

Paintbrush and other pens - touch sensitivity The old version of paintbrush allowed for different thickness of line depending on the force of my pen on my Wacom tablet. This was a very attractive pen style to use when writing notes for my class. It was a solid line, with different thicknesses, but not directional as it is with the calligraphic pen. The current paintbrush just looks ugly; a broken, diffuse line with regular thickness. Has SMART removed features that allow for interaction with touch sensitive devices like the Wacom tablets?
