I am going to pick up a copy of Viacad Pro 12 for it... but has Viacad Pro been compiled for the M1 Pro processor? Or am I relying on Rosetta 2? Is anyone running Viacad Pro 12 on any M1 computer? Does it work? How does it work? Mike...

I created another APFS volume to install and test Monterey. ViaCAD is using Rosetta 2 on M1 machines until Spatial provides an ARM based version of ACIS. Tim

My 8GB MBA is on 30% of lifespan used after 8 months and the writes on smartctl correspond with Activity Monitor numbers. Would be nice to see some improvements on M1 Pro/Max, but I wouldn't hold my breath. ornaments

The first error I ran into is the opening the Layer dialog box. It showed layers that didn’t exist, and didn’t show layers that I created. Like it’s not refreshing… Mike…

Tim Tim, could you make it a priority to make dark mode optional? Dark mode is pretty ugly with Shark right now and to disable I have to run the whole system in white mode. Thanks Claus

We have quite a few people testing along with the QA guys. So far, no new issues with Monterey are being reported... >> Win issues too? We have a 1588 Windows Work In Progress build with corrections. It too looks pretty stable. Tim
