Hi Fred
I 100% agree.
About 20 years ago, when I bought Trispectives (as named before “IC”)
Iron Cad was “breath taking” advanced and fast.
Still today Triball, Handle driven behavior, Shape based history, intuitive working and much more, is fantastic and I still LOVE to work with IC.
But the development is very slow and the other CAD developed much faster.
Example: Rhino, gets with the Plugin “Grasshopper” light years away ….
Yes, Iron Cad please stop developing Caxa (if you want AutoCad, buy AutoCad!)
No more cosmetics, no more structured parts ….. we just need construction tools….the rest is perfect.
After waiting years for a better Perspective Camera (for interior Design) I left Iron Cad under protest (2014) cause of the missing development and came back now (2019) to update the Kernels.
Whats New? : A lot of cosmetics, a lot of assembly, a lot for the LEGO/ Brick fraction, but very small new tools. (4 Years)
But the good thing: it looks to me like the surface and curve tools became more stable and constant.
Iron Cad: Please develop construction tools for the UP1 update of 2019.
Many thanks & Long lives Iron Cad.
