PowerCADD Forum

Great to hear this. Our office has been using PowerCADD (and PowerDraw) since the 90s, and have been careful not to let our office Macs update their systems in order to keep using PowerCADD for as long as possible. Very excited about the possibility of a new version (and updated machines). Thanks, J...

PowerDraw 4? That's a great start - thank you for that.

I've sent a direct message with my details - hope to talk soon.

Hi Alfred,

Thank you very much for looking at these files for me. I've attached a zip file containing 8 files, one of which I replaced the extension with PC9 to see if that would make a difference. The others seem to have used the last 3 letter sent he file name for an extension.

Uh-oh. Many views and no responses - that leads me to believe these files may be lost. That's unfortunate - they were for a large residential project we had done in the 90s, and it's recently been sold to purchasers who would like to renovate. Oh well - back to the "drawing board". Best of luck to a...

Well - sorry to read this, but at least now we know. I can start the process of moving on rather than waiting endlessly for an update.

Appreciate your coming forward with this Todd.

Any ideas on how I might open these?

Thanks!

User here since the Power Draw days. I know it's been said many times here, but an update - a simple update, would go a long way. I already have one Revit station in my office and if this drags on too long, it will eventually make sense to move everyone over.

Hi Alfred, Is there an update on the next version of PowerCADD? We're starring to run into issues with our older Macs (not being updated to ensure PowerCADD operation) that won't run other software that's been optimized for the new system (such as Harvest time tracking). Any update information would...

Hi Todd,

Thought I'd check in with you to see if the update is still planned for 2020?

Thanks!

J Findlay

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going to try the re-install of the older system.

Any word on when the update may arrive? Is it still scheduled for 2020?

Thanks again.

Jamie
