Tim and folks,

ViaCAD Pro v8 is not finding the new build of 1017 to update the program. Is there a fix for that coming? Also what is the best option for getting the newest update?

Thanks for what answers you can give.

Michael

Hello Folks.

I think there is a big misunderstanding.

First:
I am NOT employed/related to Punch/Encore or whomever.
I am a normal user of ViaCAD Pro (in my spare time for my private
pleasure).

Second:
This is (to my best knowledge and guessing) what happened.

[URL="http://www.avanquest.com/Deutschland/foto-video-audio-design-multimedia-software/hausdesign-zeichen-programm-software/"]Company Avanquest[/URL] took the actual builds 1016 of ViaCAD and
ViaCAD Pro and
> removed the Serial Number and activation procedure
> translated all Menus and commands into german
> "named" this version "Build 1017" (that's what the splash screen says)

They are selling these versions on their own homepage and via german
AMAZON (that's where i bought mine from) - there it was cheaper.

So the 1017 builds are localized german versions.
No update, no new builds, sorry guys ...

BTW: When i click on Hilfe > aktuelle Programmversion (in an english version
this would be similar to Help > check for updates) i get an error message
in my web browser :( .

I am hoping that Tim and the Team will provide an update / Service Pack
for V8 and i am hoping that it will install/fix the german builds too.

Roland (hopefully my english is good and understandable)

P.S.: Please don't be jealous. I fear that there are maybe "extra" bugs
in these versions.
I have already used the [URL="http://www.punchcadlabs.com/page10/page10.php"]Bug Reporter[/URL] for some reports
and i am hoping that you do the same.
Tim has already e-mailed me that hopefully with the next available update
it will be possible to set an angle for the construction line(s)
[one of the bugs i already noticed].

Hello Victor.

That means that there is (at the moment) no update available
and so you are running the newest version ...

But i agree with you, it does more sound like an error and the
wording i used would maybe be better ...
And i also would appreciate an overview stating the latest builds for
all versions.

But again i beg you to use the bug reporter.
Today i got the second promised-to-be-fixed-in-the-next-update
e-mail from Tim Olsen.

Soon there will be hopefully enough bug-fixes ready to justify an
update ...

Have a nice (modelling) time ... :D

Roland
