IronCAD 2024 Beta Test

[tgjang]

In order for users to test IronCAD 2024, they need to install and use IronCAD 2024 on their computer. However, IC Beta testing is very limited as IC 2024 data is not backwards compatible with IC 2023.
Also, there is no mention of the CAXA upgrade, which I think users are interested in.

In my opinion, a lot of testing should be done before the IronCAD 2024 version is released to minimize problems when it is released.

Thanks

Yes the data is not backward compatible and will not likely change in the near future. The beta forum is open to active support customers to download and test. 

As for the CAXA DRAFT new features, there is a rough document in the C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2024\bin\CAXADraft\Help\en-US\WhatsNew.PDF.

Thank you very much Cary.

to me it is important that Beta 24 files are to open in IC24 later.

I test with real data and working process  (only this gives sense)

I wouldnt like to loose them...

[Cary OConnor]

I understand. However we can't always guarantee that for the betas as we may encounter an issue that requires us to make a change to the saved data (persistence data) or a change to existing data. When that happens, the previous saved files may not work in the newer version. If this doesn't happen, the files can be used in later versions. I will need to see if that case has happened since PU1.
