PowerCadd 10

[P&JArchitects]

I have been sending emails to Form Z support since July in order to get an update. First they said end of summer, then end of September, then at the end of October support said "It's overall pretty ready" and would be just a couple more weeks, then they said January there would be an official announcement. And now....nothing. I am officially looking for new drafting software...I've waited as long as I could...

While the extended wait is disappointing, whether it comes in a week or more months I’ll still jump for joy and gladly pay the cost, and in the meantime keep being hyper productive on PC9 on my old system along with iPad and Studio Mac to handle the stuff I need the newer OS for.

I got an email notice (generic) that F•Z has an update out for their V10. No mention of drafting - 2-d drawing updates or tool improvments. It appears they're focusing on animation type tools and procedures and less on architectural / engineering type functions. Perhaps they're pursuing the illustrator / animator market ... dunno. Their drafting module (Layout) is terrible. I'm in the same boat with them as PCadd - I'll ride out the rest of my career on an old dedicated iMac and when it croaks go back to pencil and paper or go sit on a beach somewhere...

Right this minute I am looking over at my other imac which I am waiting for the upgrade to BigSur. As soon as it finishes I am installing Autocadd light. Auotcadd Light is only $500 a year. Over the next couple months I will transition over to Autocadd. Makes no sense to keep waiting. I can't even do a search on my own business emails because my iOS is so out of date. If the owners of Powercadd don't wish to communicate with us, and when they do, berate us for complaining it's an obvious sign to move on. I don't want to, but if you're running Mojave like me, you are six years behind in current iOS technology.

I feel your pain!
Not sure which I hate more; Autodesk products (I used to manage office drafting and graphics standards not made easy with AutoCAD) or waiting for PowerCadd 10!

As of yesterday Apple no longer allows access to my account from Mojave including apps and iTunes. So today I am updating to Sequoia and will be using PCADD 9 under Parallels. It is a pain because I now can only use a single window on a single monitor.

My biz partner has been putting a lot of pressure on me to abandon PCADD and move to software that includes updates for current OSs. If there is no usable version of PCADD 10 by July 1 I will finally acquiesce…

This is a sad day.
