I like that idea, and more...

I am finally starting to use ViaCAD for a real project, rather than just messing around in my spare time exploring features and doing the simple tutorials. I am modeling a V-8 automotive engine block. The thing I am struggling with the most is locating features where I want them. I find I have almost never snapped to where I thought I had. Navigation, in general, is a challenge, once the model becomes somewhat complicated.

I'd like to see a tut (or several) of a fairly complicated project. It might have several possible philosophical approaches to solution, and I'd like to see/hear a discussion on why one approach was taken, and as the project develops, what would be different if another approach was taken. To some extent, I realize, this is a general modeling discussion, but it would be great to see it applied specifically to ViaCAD. It should involve using multiple construction lines in different planes, creation of different user planes, solving tight navigation problems, etc.

Finally, one question - If I upgrade to VCad Pro will navigation get easier? It does not look like it from what I read (it looks like more features, not navigation aids), but maybe I have missed something?

I'm frustrated, because it feels like there is more in ViaCAD than I have been able to get. out of it.

thanks,
