So I picked up a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro processor. I am going to pick up a copy of Viacad Pro 12 for it... but has Viacad Pro been compiled for the M1 Pro processor? Or am I relying on Rosetta 2?

Is anyone running Viacad Pro 12 on any M1 computer? Does it work? How does it work?

Mike...

I do my Mac development on a M1 computer running Big Sur. I created another APFS volume to install and test Monterey.

ViaCAD is using Rosetta 2 on M1 machines until Spatial provides an ARM based version of ACIS.

The problem still exists on the M1 and wasn't fixed completely. My 8GB MBA is on 30% of lifespan used after 8 months and the writes on smartctl correspond with Activity Monitor numbers. Would be nice to see some improvements on M1 Pro/Max, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

So I am now using Viacad 12 Pro on the MacBook Pro. The first error I ran into is the opening the Layer dialog box. It showed layers that didn’t exist, and didn’t show layers that I created. Like it’s not refreshing…

Tim,

could you make it a priority to make dark mode optional? Dark mode is pretty ugly with Shark right now and to disable I have to run the whole system in white mode.

Thanks

That sounds like one of the issues fixed with 1591.

Yes, I will add a switch to Disable DarkMode

It is available as a Mac Work in Progress build. We have quite a few people testing along with the QA guys.

So far, no new issues with Monterey are being reported...

>> Win issues too?

We have a 1588 Windows Work In Progress build with corrections. It too looks pretty stable.
