Hello Andreas,
The same thing happened to me, and to some other people...
As far as I know, the only solution is to upgrade to Shark 16.

Either you use Windows in a VM, or you migrate to Windows.

OK, not bad.
maybe it is easier to change the CAD programm ;-)
what makes more sence, to upgrade, to buy a second computer or buy VM-Software?
anyway I'm lazy :-) and love (so far) ViaCad/SharkCad
I'll wait a few days for Tim's response. Mayby they have a solution or will give us an discount to the
'must' upgrade.
i'm familiar with Viacad since V5 ( ? since 2008 )

If you use Time Machine, you can restore to the macOS Sequoia version, but I too was bitten by this very early on, and mentioned it in a post.
Ironically, I also asked if there was a discount code, but not had a reply, but usually there is a Black Friday promotion towards the end of November, so was awaiting that.
One big question I have that I have no indication from anyone is that after the next upgrade after macOS Tahoe, aka macOS 27, Rosetta 2 support will be dropped. PunchCAD mac products are using Rosetta 2, and judging by the code changes that broke v14 & v15 just in this macOS upgrade, the future of this software running in macOS isn’t looking good.

My second solution was, to use an older Imac of my wife :-)
