I have ViaCAD Pro V10 with Powerpack Pro 10 and would like to upgrade to V11. I don't see any option to upgrade Powerpack Pro, only to purchase a regular Powerpack 11. v11 looks identical to Pro v10, but v10 is only compatible with ViaCAD 10... So I'm expected to pay $200 for literally the same exact features that I already have? What is the upgrade path for ViaCAD Pro with Powerpack Pro? Thanks!

Good question as I was wondering about the same thing. Would it be wise to update my ViaCad v10 pro with power pack pro or just keep this version?!?!

I've just had a chat with them. Power pack Pro won't exist, and it'll just be power pack. Subd to nurb won't be available, and the power pack itself is only available if you ring up. And yes it's 200.
There is a code VIACAD300 gets you another 50 off version 11, but that is a bit of a joke that we lose functions and have to pay out more.

Looking on the web it looks like they have removed a load of stuff from power pack. Circle bets fit, plane best fit, line normal to surface, coordinate compare and the list goes on.

And still want 200 dollars for it?

Ya, this is a slap in the face for me. I've been a user since v6 and I guess I'm finally going to switch to fusion360. I can't believe this is how things are going for this software. Very disappointing.
