Corona Lockdown.
A Iphone is garbage. Macs are also garbage. Use a good OS and not Mac and no IOS. Why is a iphone garbage? because it is not water proof and not shock resistant. A good waterresistant outdoor-smartphone is not so expensive and better. at time i use the cubot kinkong 5 pro, but this is a little bit to big and heavy.

With the AMD Driver 31.0.12015.1008 from 2022/07 works Shark 9 better. No longer so much crashes and no crashes caused by open gl anymore.

I was hoping to see a version 14 of ViaCAD. As that was the topic of cnc kids question. I checked Posh's link and it was for version 14 of an iphone. Sure hope to see an update for ViaCad someday. I really would like to see the mesh symmetry function fixed. I also wish they could tweak the code so that if you make an incorrect selection it would not lock up so bad. The program needs a better way recover from an error. Sometimes it just locks up like its lost in space. I will wait for it to recover sometimes.If I have auto save on or have been saving. I usually just start over. But overall ViaCAD is my favorite program. Moi3d is also my goto program, Going to buy Rhino. Been trying Rhino 5 with no save, It is so cool. I also really enjoy Alibre atom and Blender. But every thing I create for my 3d printer gets completed with ViaCAD pro v12. Have a good one.

Sorry, this was a bad conspiracy theory. I guess long time ago started some cad program with a drafting assistant :). And posh make or made the translation in german language. This is a part of development. What made the japanese Team? Is there a chinese Team?

Sorry, but a iphone have nothing to do with CAD and this is the same like the spambots do. :) A Iphone have a very good camera. I watched today some images which made without light in a darker twilight, and was scared how good they are. :) But anyway i use my cheap chinese Prügel.

localization is no software development, but we actually developed formerly parts of this other software as e.g. the BoM or kinematics or the symbol manager or the tolerances of shape and position or the dimension editor etc. actually w/ a developer partly located at the 'square stone block' headquarter... but never participated developement of Vellum Solids and successors.

No.

We just beginning to alpha test with a limited group in the Beta forum. As we get further along and the build becomes more stable we will open it up to a larger group of users.

So excited to see a message from Tim! I have watched so many hours of your tutorial videos Tim. ViaCad pro V12 constantly amazes me. Its taken me quite a few hours to get to a point where I can model just about anything I need. I hope you never let this amazing program fade away. I wish that the mesh symmtery function worked better. Also please bring back that deform face tool. I wish more than anything that we had that mesh to nurbs functionality.So curious if anyone knows what third party conversion software Punchcad was using to convert the mesh to nurbs. Made my day to see a message from Tim!!!!!

Moi3d uses practically the same mesh to nurbs. Just needs to be an obj. I've checked the results on both and it's almost the same.

Mesh2NURBS used NPower/IntegrityWare libraries, they do Cyborg3D and various SolidWorks/3DSMax/OnShape plugins.

Thanks 2murray and UGMENTALCASE. Apreciate the info. I looked at Npower and Cyborg3d awhile back. They look so awesome but are very expensive. I have Moi3d dialed in now, and have all the addons installed. Viacad and Moi3d work so well together using the step format. Thanks again for that tip about Moi3d using the OBJ.format. UGMENTALCASE. So curious UGMENTAL have you used the Porcelain lighting in Moi? It makes your models look so nice. I really enjoy modeling in ViaCAD then sending it over to Moi or Blender. Have a good one.

no not tried it to be honest. I use the bridge between MOI3D and Rocket3f, works good if you have a mesh file that you can take to obj (for rocket) retopo it then bridge it to moi3d for checking back against a model or whatever.
