Nuts & Bolts
Changed drawing of 3D threads from polygons to Beziers.
(This may seem like a simple change, but Nuts & Bolts 3D is one of the most difficult programming projects I’ve done in years. Please note that you can draw 3D screws, bolts and threads at any direction in a 3D space, and this is all in a 2D program. Very difficult to maintain my humility!)

Re: WildTools Developments
Today I worked on OpenClip Bridge where the concept is to build a bridge between PowerCADD, FormZ and SketchUp, and as it’s a 64bit program it also is a bridge to the 64bit world.
The concept is all described at www.OpenClip.net

Re: WildTools Developments
WildTools is such great software, everything feels quicker and more responsive, which is not to suggest it wasn't already, which it was.
Thank you Alfred.

Re: WildTools Developments
I have spent the last few weeks working on Importing and Exporting SVG files at the request of Riccardo Casoli. It turned out to be a very difficult and complicated thing. It's also not really necessary as you can create these files by creating PDF files (with Print to PDF) and then using the free, open source Inkscape program and get better results that I could ever hope to accomplish.
Another addition of humility to my character!

MattTools and DerekTools
I have included for you to look at MattTools and DerekTools.
MattTools includes some interesting ideas that Matt Arnold wanted to pursue on evaluating Architect schools in the Rect Chart Wing Chart Tool.
In the dialog for the Wing Chart find a design of a resource allocation program for a Home Owners Association that a friend of mine developed in Excel, and he asked me to work on an interactive interface design. You look out for 30 years on the maintenance costs, etc.
DerekTools is nothing but a collection of vector icons for inclusion in PowerCADD. These icons have been included at pdf images but not a vector icons the way they are done in WildTools.
Doors & Windows—Window Pane Tool
There is a new Window Pane tool included with a concept from Matt Arnold. The idea is that you can create Window Panes by drawing an enclosing rectangle. Most of this works as intended except for the 5th style which has been a frustrating and embarrassing attempt. I’ve spent about three weeks on this infernal thing and keep getting goofy and undesirable behavior. The idea that the window panes will be a standard size which can be arranged in design groups. I’m getting tired of going in circles working on this.
I’m sure you are all aware of the announcement of the collaboration between Engineered Software and PowerCADD and AutoDesSys and FormZ. This is a wonderful development. Ten years ago, working with David Kropp at AutoDesSys we developed the ability to Copy in PowerCADD and Paste in FormZ with the OpenClip format that we worked out, and I’m encouraging and hoping that the ability to Copy in FormZ and Paste in WildTools can be hooked up again. This was working once and the programming is still in PowerCADD and WildTools to handle this, and you can experiment with these capability with the OpenClip Viewer App which you can find at www.openclip.net where all of this is discussed.
You may be amused to check out Bozo Technology which you can turn on in the WildTools preferences. It provides a mechanism to ‘encourage’ you to update to a new version of PowerCADD that might be offered at some point in the future. It is harmless and annoying and you can simply delete the silly extra objects placed in the drawing.
