Are any of the PC products going to be 64 bit, and if so when?

Shark FX will be 32 and 64.

ViaCAD Pro with PowerPack will only be 64 (it uses some technology that is available only in 64)

>>and if so when?

The 64 bit version compiles and links but has some display issues we are tracking down.

Nothing official yet as I'm still negotiating details of PowerPack with everyone involved.

So there will most likely be an upgrade option for those of us that bought v9 due to knowing the upgrades from v8 (yes they are worth it). Also what are the tools that are going to be int the power pack as have heard talk but no real list that I can find (then again I most likely missed it). -Michael

The PowerPack will be very interesting for me. But the group of tools (Mesh to NURB) included in Shark V9 (with ACIS 23) are very limited (max 2000 facets).

As quoted from the sales page: [URL="http://www.punchcad.com/p-26-viacad-pro-v9.aspx"]Punch! ViaCAD Pro v9[/URL]

I would expect this 'powerpack' to be free for everyone who purchased version 9 pro. Nowhere does it say anything about it on thier website.

I did not know anything about this powerpack until I hit the forums, and of course, it was AFTER I made the purchase(and assumption) I was buying Viacad pro V9 64bit.

I feel like I got snowballed on this one! :mad:

Please let me know where does Encore promotes PowerPack as part of ViaCAD. PowerPack is a proposed add-on toolset focused on repurposing meshes to precision solids created by EvoSoft. PowerPack is a significant investment by EvoSoft.

All I'm saying, is that from what I read, I was under the impression that Viacad 9 pro was 64 bit as stated on the sales page.

But as discussed, its NOT 64 bit, unless you get this 'powerpack'
very miss leading in my opinion.

I didn't (and still don't) know what the powerpack really is...
I only heard about when looking for info on why viacad pro 9 was not 64bit(when advertised that it is...)

Edit, I take that back, its not misleading. It was just wrong.

I also see that the webpage has changed to state that is is for MAC.
