Good question !
I know there is WIP...
It would be good to have feedback from developers !

                I've lost interest and I'm looking elsewhere. Currently testing 3 other CAD packages. I'll pick one pretty soon. They clearly don't care anymore. This thread was started 8 months ago and we have heard nothing. Since, I've emailed in numerous times and heard nothing.

                I have now got Rhino 7 which i am lurning to use, i prefer the Shark front end but Rhino is good. i will still work with Shark as well.
I cannot understand the way Punch CAD turbo Cad company work They don't try to promote there software that is a recipe for eventual failia.
as im not getting answered any more i'm beginning to think they have died, ignoring people is not a good selling point.
its sad

Take care !!!

                My suggestion ist to transfer the Software to an active developer team of sufficient manpower.

                my proposoal still is, to rip of everything non-core-modeling related as rendering, constraints, architectural tools (*sigh*) and maybe MTS too (at least until the known issues cannot be solved because depending on Spatials MTS implementation) and focus on making the surface/solid modeling tools rock solid. Swapping the user interface to 
Qt  could help to get rid of GUI design and have a cross-platform interface with a modern design and additional functionality.

                So I tested argon (vellum) and the others which I believe use the same 'engine'? Same bugs. Undo was painful, weird graphical errors. Immediately uninstalled it.

                I didn't invest there don't worry, didn't fancy moving the problem. Surprisingly expensive for something that doesn't work very well either.

                1. V12 viewports do not print phong views dimensions correctly.

                Also, groups of objects never show up in viewports.  I always have to ungroup them first.
