LINEAR HATCHES, TILED PATTERNS, TEXTURES There are TEXTURES and TILED PATTERNS in addition to the LINEAR HATCHES TEXTURES use bit map images TILED PATTERNS uses vector tools LINEAR HATCHES uses lines and dashed lines in various combination and angles HighDesign Hatches 1.png HighDesign Hatches 2.png...

THERE IS A BIT TO HighDesign

An example of this are the DESIGN tools

Here are some screen shots or various setting you can make using the DOOR tool

HighDesign is not, of course, remotely as complete and versatile as PC No doubt there are a ton of tools in PC/WT Great for getting up and going with in short order Wonderful set of apps I loved working with them But I've been playing with HighDesign for about 6 months on and off Seems like I start...

Like a lot of you guys — my use of PC/WT goes back to the powerdraw days. But now what I do with CAD is for personal reasons or just as a hobby I am using a different program now for my 2D because I wasn’t sure where things were going with PC. What I’m using now is not the elegance of PC/WT. But it ...

So Eric — your program is written with Xojo. And it appears to be quite fast — at least from what testing you’ve done so far But back to having PowerCADD written to run natively on M1 — You know even if Todd decided to have somebody rewrite his program, he may not want it to be written overseas. Bec...

So there’s a few different ways this could possibly be done To find some virtual way of keeping PowerCADD going on newer hardware Or to buy a Mac Mini or used hardware, and keep running it on that But I guess some would like to see the code rewritten as best possible so that it could work on the lat...

But I do envy those of you that are set up for continuing the use of PowerCADD & Wild Tools, as I do think that PC & WT are amazing programs, in that they put out stellar precision CAD graphics, In such a forthright and ease-of-use manner

Maybe I’m completely wrong, but I think Todd was speaking with regards to how fast the program actually works. That is — how fast it opens up — how fast the zooming is — how easy is it to get around a file and jump from layout to layout — how fast is it to use a certain tool — that type of thing. Bu...

I just realized something

I DID NOT start using PowerDraw until I THINK the LATTER 80’s, as I didn’t get my first Mac until the end of 1986

Sorry about that slip up. Such are things with an older mind at times. That gray matter just don’t always work like it used to

Hello PC/WT folk For some reason I have been reading the forum for the last couple days and I just happened upon Todd’s notice of PowerCADD no longer being developed I started with PowerCADD sometime back in the early 80s. Many years ago ( I think in the early 90’s) I saw Bill Stanley and his wife i...
