Hello everyone,

I’ve just purchased VIACAD PRO V16 for Windows, having previously used V11 on Mac.
Do any of you also find that some very useful features are now missing or poorly implemented?

For example:

Far fewer shortcut options

No assignable function keys (F1 to F12)

The gripper on/off toggle doesn’t actually work as on/off — it opens the inspector instead if that panel is collapsed

Impossible to change built-in shortcuts, such as the grid view

Mouse assignment ???

Other issues:

If you change the background color (solid color), entity lines no longer stay black but instead take on the complementary color of the chosen background

Ambient light has no visible effect

I’d like to know if Part Creator works for you — in my case, after modifying data it just spins endlessly and nothing is created
I think a good tutorial would be very helpful.

In trimetric mode, the trihedron doesn’t appear if nothing has been created yet.

Where is the fonction Tab, Bend, Single Hem which are announced in the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UFRTk-EF4c

I’m still testing, and maybe you don’t have these issues — or perhaps you’ve found some solutions?

Same to me. Using Win10 Pro, the Part Creator isn't working for me too. After a few seconds the spinning icon stops without any error message. As in the comparison chart, the Part Creator requires the Copilot PROFESSIONAL plugin.

Here is the link of the comparison chart: https://www.punchcad.com/product-line-comparison

Furthermore, I cannot detect any faster loading times or faster redrawing for larger drawings.

Hast du auch die Exportfunktion zum Exportieren verwendet? Bei mir funktioniert das.
