Anyone upgrade to ViaCAD 17 pro or 2d/3d and have any comments on its stability on Mac (Tahoe)? Currently running ViaCAD 14.
Also wondering whether ViaCad is still worth investing time and money going forward. I love using the program , but feel its development is lack luster and sometimes worry about its continued development.

Thanks,
Norbert

Since V17 seems to be still running in simulation mode (For TurbocadMac anyway), maybe hold off until an Apple Silicon version is released?

I did the upgrade and have no complaints. Like the previous version there is some issues quitting the app, it seems to hang on for a long time, maybe due to cleaning up memory or something. May require a restart from time to time. And on the same subject: Did someone test V17 on MacOS 27?
