Re: PowerCADD Keeps wanting me to Register

Bill, We have not received a PowerCADD registration from you recently, and that would indicate that there is a failure at the send stage. An email client not configured on this machine, for example. Here are the actions I would take: First, make sure you are on the current version of PowerCADD. Some...

Re: Life after/beyond PowerCadd?

Re: Life after/beyond PowerCadd?

Todd, I’m guessing there would be an announcement regarding the translator? Eduardo, I will be posting a preliminary version of a translator this week which creates will read and translate at least some PowerCADD files. I’ll post a link on the forum.

Re: PowerCADD Future

Has anyone being in communication with Todd? As it stands if he does not let the program go it has no future and no value. I will only have value if time is invested in it to bring the code up to date with current standards. Is Todd willing to make the list of current licence holder available so th...

Re: Life after/beyond PowerCadd?

Let's also recognize that it's possible and likely that Parallels Desktop will have a 32-bit world that will run on M1, M2, M3 machines. I believe they've been talking about this possibility. Parallels already does support the M1 and Intel, and Mojave can be installed on a virtual machine running o...
