I know vcp v8 is going grow up to 64 bit v9 in the coming year, but the cyper Monday sale is awesome. If you need to add to office seats or have someone who you want to torture with the learning curve of cad this is good deal.

I'm pretty sure that Tim has said that the ViaCAD range will remain only as 32 bit applications, whilst Shark goes up to 64 bit.

Right now I'm using ViaCAD Pro v8 along with MoI and enjoy the benefits of both of these great programs, so I agree with everything you say about ViaCAD pro except the bit about surface Booleans, as MoI ($295) is extremely strong in this area too.

The history isn't as deep as in ViaCAD, but there is some. Surfaces are updated via their defining curves if they're altered, provided the surface hasn't been modified in between times by being trimmed or added to -- innit :D

Martin: ah, so. As in associative. Sorry about that. My daughter would call "Dad joke!" so she'll never see this.

Jed, it's better for touch than other apps that I use, because of the way the toolbars tear off, which makes it easier to isolate and punch the right button on a small screen while being able to keep the clutter down. For swinging models about, Shark's Navigator works well if the tab's got an active stylus/digitiser, but for VC/VCP which doesn't have the Navigator, and for tabs that don't have digitiser stylus, dynamic rotate works better.
