I saw this PR yesterday from Spatial regarding R17 and thought I would repost. Lot's of good stuff for us!

http://www.spatial.com/about_us/r17.html

I can't wait to see how the three face blend works. This is something I've been requesting for years and nice to see its finally been added! (Jol, I'm still working on them regarding G2 blends....)

David,
Most of the stuff they mention is part of the core kernel and we will get whether we want it or not (reduce memory, memory minization, capping/mitering, tolerant modeling, local operaitons, point in face, IGES, and Vista).

I'm not sure yet what it will take on our part to use the assembly modeling, or three entity blend features. I think the three entity blend will be straight forward to implement.

Tim,
they mention 64bit support for windows, but not Mac. Is that correct ?

Any news on multiprocessor support ?

Yes, PC only.

No I have not heard anything new on this topic from Spatial.

Is it worth it for end users to write them and ask about mac 64-bit and multiprocessor support ?

I read the PR as stating that only the translators were going to be 64-bit, but it doesn't explicitly mention the ACIS kernel being 64-bit. I've had an XP x64 machine for a long time and had many headaches due to ACIS incompatibility. In this case if the translators are going to be 64-bit, will ACIS be also? It'd be really nice to see 64-bit compatibility there, and it isn't clear if that is going to be the case with R17.
