Hello Guys

I am not able to print anything from viacad without it hanging up. I used to be able to pint only once but I had to setup the printer settings first within viacad, save it, then close and reopen the application and it would print only once. Not sure what has changed but I cant even do this anymore. Maybe the file I have is larger than normal but I am only trying to print 1 page of the "model to sheet" feature. No luck.

Hi Book meister.
They have had problems with the printing interface before.
I would report it to support and hopefully the may resolve it.

I had problems with version 14 until they fixed it.
Here are a couple of threads regarding earlier versions.

And this is a cut and paste from the Beta 14 thread.

We've updated the V14 builds for ViaCAD, SharkCAD, and TurboCAD Mac to build 1654.

These builds can be downloaded at :

http://www.masterviacad.com/beta/beta.php

Build 1654 Change Log
--Issue printing to PDF and blurry or double lines
--Crash correction on some machines regarding unknown file types
--Crash correction for exploding very large assemblies
--Correction with clash analysis tool and results

I'm also adding a few more beta users to test V15. Currently it is the TurboCAD Mac brand which supports reading/writing ViaCAD and Shark files.

If you are interested please send me an email at Tim.olson AT encore.com. You must be a current user of V14.

V15 has a collection of enhancements plus the addition of Copilot which allows you to talk to documents or talk to your cad data.

For a video of Copilot see the link below:
