Charles Freeborn Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Has there been any progress on this at all? My current desktop is timing out fast and PC won't run on any of the newer OSs. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berditchever Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 On 12/21/2022 at 11:44 AM, Tech said: We are very excited about the future of PowerCADD although PowerCADD 10 is taking us longer than we expected. PowerCADD is an expansive product and the path forward from older old macOS technology has not always predictable. We are working hard to create a quality and stable product. Our current estimate is that we expect the first beta in January with the release a few months after. PowerCADD 10 is 64-bit, supports all modern macOS operating systems, and is native on Apple Silicon (M1/M2). It also includes a new DXF/DWG translator and a number of new tools. We think that you will really enjoy the new PowerCADD. Is there any update for distribution of the beta, thus far estimated around January '23? Thanks, guys. We know it's far more intricate than generally understood, like surfing Nazare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we are in another time-zone here, maybe that of the Greenland Shark, who has between 300 and 500 years to fulfil it's life-time ambitions. Meanwhile, our own clock ticks along at a faster pace and we may be forced to change lanes.... spaceagency and AHDD Designer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Freeborn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Over on the PCadd forum it sounds like their next version (V10) is in testing and preparing for release. I'm not sure who is funding or performing the upgrades, but based on the silence from F•Z my guess is the deal has fallen through. Too bad. They seemed like a good fit.

I wouldn't take silence as a sign of anything here. There may be some progress we are unaware of yet, but less likely perhaps for the Windows PC community?

Justin Montoya Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 It looks to me like the FZ developers and the PC developers are still very much working together based on the latest PC10 forum posts: https://www.engsw.com/PowerCADDForum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=285&start=230 It sounds good to me, I just really hope this isn't going to be only Mac software, as FormZ Drafting really needs this update across the board, Windows PCs included.

santa Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The looooooooong delay is agonising! This is probably a silly question, but will the software go into beta testing whenever, or will the PowerCADD boys (and gals) do it all? Anyone care to guess?

Gary G Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Let's see some updates for the development of PowerCADD 10. Alan Cooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cooper Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Gary G, I expect many long term users wish that Autodessys were a bit more communicative with us and potential new users. Some sort of blog would be appreciated. Even a monthly update on this forum and their website. A sign of continuing life and some sort of progress update! We do appreciate the complexity which takes time, especially for a small team, but communication helps to maintain the hope of anticipated progress. I am sad to say there have been for some time little signs like the website being on an old http instead of https domain platform indicate it could be a dwindling company which has fallen behind the times. It could do with some new blood. SJD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 A quick update on PowerCADD 10: We have been running a private beta with a group of PowerCADD contributors, distributors, and extension developers for a few months. At this point we consider PowerCADD to be about 80-85% complete. Once PowerCADD is a bit further along, we expect to open the beta to more users.

Charles Freeborn Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 How will it integrate? Will it replace Layout, run parallel or be a stand alone 2-d? Sync with F•Z models? Thx. Alan Cooper and graham_g 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
