Hello
Just recently purchased ViaCAD Pro 9 and have issues with IGES import.
I am running it on Mac with latest OS and updates.

This is happening with several IGES file I have. The files contain Hull design and does not contain so many curves and surfaces.

ViaCAD imports the IGES file, but it ends up with just circles. How to troubleshoot this?
I can not upload IGES file to forum, because of the IGES files contain business protected hull - lines. But I will try to make a dummy file and upload

If I import the IGES file in Rhinoceros WIP version for Mac, the file imports without issues. If I then save the import as a Rhino file, it imports just fine in ViaCAD as Rhino file.

I have tries all 3 options on IGES import. No luck, same result.

Would it be possible to zip and send me the file to look at in the debugger?

Thanks

Just tested IGES import with latest build 1144. Issue is still there.

I am preparing to send a file as PM for debugging of IGES file.

I sent you an email, not sure if you received it. I will send iges file when you confirm.

The log on import does not give any errors.
