Re: PowerCADD Future

Since Todd’s announcement (yay !) I downloaded the form•Z FREE Version and have played with it for a few hours. Although the interface is a bit clunky, there seems to be a more power under the hood written into the base program vs SketchUp (my current go-to 3d software). To be honest I am getting ti...

Re: Life after/beyond PowerCadd?

Thanks for the tips, Peter I have tried all of those placed image and reference methods. Would be great to sidestep LO altogether with a direct viewport to a SU model if Alfred can manage to work that out for us. As for layers - what appeals to me most about organizing the ‘Layers by Sheet’ philosop...

Re: Life after/beyond PowerCadd?

Thanks Alfred that is encouraging ! No - I would not consider your approach setting the bar too low. That would sure skip a lot of intermediate steps between the 2 programs I think if you can directly link to the 3d model. In the past, I have needed to set up references from PCadd to the image expor...

Re: WT Datum Tool

Thanks everyone - the problem seems to be that I had a preset font for this Datum Dimensioning tool in a drawing template that was not displaying correctly. Changing this font has now 'fixed' the problem. I had tried changing the font before posting my question but had not done a full system restart...

WT Datum Tool

Good morning Something seems to be going wrong with my Datum Tool. I have not used it for a long time but I remembered that I had found it to be quite useful in the past once I had figured out how to work with the tool. In the past, re-setting the baseline and flipping the Y Axis allows this tool to...
