In Aug 22 David Kropp said "it's taking a little longer than hoped", certainly is, we're another 2 years down the line and still seems some distance away. I think most people must be struggling to hang on with old redundant machines that are not up to the job of running most other software. My bigge...

Is it only me, but does it not seem strange that these questions are only now being asked when, at the same time, we're told a public beta testing phase if about to begin?

Hi I’ll email over some drawings when I’m back in the Office on Monday. Re 2D/3D. I tend to model the the building in quite a bit of detail. This will include foundations, walls, windows and door objects, roofs, 3D objects for kitchen units, shelving, bathroom fittings and main structural elements (...

Some working drawing/details attached.

Happy to send better images direct if anyone is interested

Hi Joyce I can second cadmonkeys recommendations regarding the VW university. Doing the the courses takes a lot of the frustration out of the process. I also can vouch for Johnathan Reeves, I paid for some one to one training with him (via zoom) and it was invaluable to getting things working the wa...

It sounds like we are all towards the latter end of our careers, I'm 61 and aim to eventually retire at 67 (UK state pension age for my age group). So my education was drawing board based and I too took to Powercadd due to the ability to replicate the techniques used on the drawing board. I used to ...

Hi Patrick I've been running 2 iMacs for a couple of years now, each sharing a second screen. I use the Synergy app which allows me to seamlessly use the same keyboard and mouse on both machines simultaneously and to copy and paste between machines. It works really well and allows me to jump between...

It’s all about getting the setting right when you export to pdf. Too high a resolution means large file size.
