Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but I'm sure it's crossed the developers minds: a mobile viewer for Android/iOS would be fantastic. I recently bought an Android tablet, and have gone through every single CAD viewer out there. They all are missing two key points: snaps and dimensions/measuring while in 3D mode. If you could develop such a thing, you would blow anything now on the market out of the water (for now, for Android).

Also, I notice that each update of ViaCAD brings new advanced tools. This is great, don't get me wrong, but I suspect many users are like myself, and rarely use many of the most advanced tools. What I would like to see most in ViaCAD, is more feedback during the use of a command. What I mean by this is that while a command is being executed, the input from the mouse of keyboard is viewed dynamically on the screen. For an example of a program which I believe demonstrates this perfectly, I would point to FormZ, which has an interface which takes a little getting used to, but which enables very fast and fluid modelling.

Thanks.

We have the XYZ read out near the top of the drawing, is that what you are thinking?
