2D PDF does not support images, just vectors. I made a video to help clarify.


Import 2D PDF Video
Imports a 2D PDF (AI) file into ViaCAD 14, extrudes into a solid, and show how to set up a scene to render.

My mistake.

I was confusing it with importing a .jpg, which works perfectly.

JTFX1: Today I've downloaded ViaCAD Pro v14 to run it on a Mac-mini M2 Ventura 13.2 with Studio Display and first impressions are ok.

Before I tried V12 on the M2 Ventura platform and had several issues:

1. Dyn pan did not work with spacebar and left mouse pushed
2. Concept explorer window was not updated after user input
3. Dynamic zooming did not take into account the cursor position

Those are time consuming problems, so troubling I already considered returning the Mac-mini to Apple, but received advice from Todd (thank you) to try V14.
Didn't notice myself V14 was available, didn't see a mailing for V12 customers, is it so new, or didn't I read emails. I don't know.

More important: all three issues are solved in V14.

Mac-mini M2 Venture performance compared to my iMac late 2015 is really great.

So far so good. Day one that is.

V14 is announced to have improvements in the Dassault modeling engine, very interesting to check that out later on.

If anyone knows how to transfer short keys from one Mac to another, please do hesitate to tell us, typing in all the short keys, well that's not pleasant.

Hope this helps.

There are bugs we are fixing, but I'm not familiar with a bug still specific to macOS Ventura.
