Thankyou so much for that simple tip. I still use the grid quite a bit. But working in open space seems to really work well in ViaCAD. When you mentioned that the software is geometrically 100% accurate. I now see this. The snaps and construction lines are exactly where I want them. Also aligning items is working much better modeling in outer space. Thanks MPS. P.S. I guess you could print your items on paper then unfold them. Origami metal work. That unfold tool does look nice.

I understand that v14 is Mac only at this time.? It's a common requirements blurb that shows up across v12 too. They didn't mask out Win there. The Mac specs also seem off. The application supports running on v10.11 "El Capitan" 32 & 64bit from 2015? Does it support Ventura on ARM? I suspect some cart-before-horse going on.

I suspect some cart-before-horse going on. Why should it support ARM? If so, then Tim Olson should make also a Android-App. Please read what Tim Olson say about the Windows-Version - it is not matter what at time released on the website for the windows version.

Great to hear from you, and thanks for this update. I’m hoping to go Apple Silicon in the next year or two, so this is good news. Have you heard any word on Spatial and native ARM for the modeling kernel (that you can share)? Thanks, and all the best! -Steve Steve Wilkinson

Spatial provided us with a build but it was too late to integrate into v14 SP0 as we had an urgent need to get a release out for macOS Ventura. I am planning on a v14 service pack for a universal build (intel/arm). I have a subcontractor working on some of the remaining third party libs. Tim

Last time I tried to look into which products/kernels were working towards Apple Silicon support, I couldn’t find anything about Spatial/ACIS having it in the works. If it’s almost ready to go into a product, I’m super happy to hear that! Thanks, -Steve
