Hi All
I've updated the ViaCAD Pro 9 64 beta to build 1161. Change log below.
Download:http://www.punchcadlabs.com/page7/page7.phpPowerPack 3D Printing OverviewBelow is a link to an overview of the 3D Print beta tools available in PowerPack LT. There is more than the 3D print tools that may be of use to you. I need to make another video of those additional features.
https://youtu.be/gvXBsDl0epMEncore's QA team has taken a first pass on the PowerPack LT tools. Many of the items they found are addressed in this build. Time is running out on the PowerPack LT beta. If you are interested in participating in the promo, you can do so using the link below:

Build 1161 Change Log
• Corrected a crash exporting to Adobe Illustrator while in hidden line mode
• Hatches were not displayed correctly
• Certain Filled polygons were not displayed correctly in 3D
• Polygons were not photo-rendered with user defined color
Build 1160 Change Log
• Updated Convert To Mesh dialog for the Explode Mesh option. Explode Mesh creates a mesh entity for each face which was the default for previous versions. Explode Mesh off creates a single mesh entity that has welded vertices and properly aligned facet normals, much more suitable and friendly for 3D Printing. No need to use a follow up Join or Surface Flip command on a converted solid. Explode Mesh is now off by default.

• If you convert box text and it fails, text is no longer deleted.
• Numerous updates for using data entry when moving and rotating faces with the gripper
