Guest rzito Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Dear IC Guys, January is quickly coming to an end and the sacrificial IC vista version is yet to be placed on the user gods community alter. Your vista sacrifice will go a long way to appeasing the user gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We are doing final testing and fixing, if the quality is low, the gods will be angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Let me give more of an update. We have both the 32-bit and 64-bit in testing with our partners. We found a few installation errors and we believe that they are resolved now. So we are in the final stages. In the meantime, we are addressing some critical issues found in IRONCAD V11. These will be resolved by next week. Due to this, we want to release the Vista version with these changes as well (instead of offering a patch right after we release). Therefore we plan to release the Vista version for release next week. If multiple people would like to play with the current test version, I can post it for testing if people have time to test it out. Please let me know.

Cary OConnor Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi All, Below is information and download links to the Vista Beta Version. Please make sure to read the notes below prior to installing. Keep in mind this is not a release version, but a beta test version. Please file the issues to this post or to support@ironcad.com directly. Happy Testing, IronCAD Team Notes: Files saved in this version are not compatible with the IRONCAD V11 32/64-bit versions. We will have a PU1 for XP when we release the Vista version (targeted for Feb 6th since we are fixing some critical customer reported issues in V11 at this time and testing these changes). You need to run IRONCAD as an administrator once to complete the registration. The easiest way to do this is to click the Launch at the end of the install. If not, right-click on the IRONCAD.exe and select Run as Administrator. After this step you can run it as any user. Vista Aero UI is not supported for our release. To turn off this mode, go to Personalize in the right-click of the background. Click on Window and Color Appearance. Select Open Classic appearance properties for more color options (located at the bottom). Select Windows Vista Basic in the list and select ok to apply. If you run in Vista Aero mode, the UI will flash due to the transparency effects from Vista Aero. If you want to run the Advance Rendering Mode in DirectX, you still need to install the DirectX redistributable available in the support community (V11 Beta Forum) or from Microsoft (November 2008 release will work). After you unzip the files, run the setup.exe in the folder.

Guest svangeldern Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 While on the subject... If one were to purchase a new computer with vista installed, what flavor would be best for IC? Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, Vista Enterprise, Vista Ultimate...32 or 64 bit? Wait for Windows 7.....Stay with XP? Your thoughts... Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Among Vista versions, we will only support Business, Enterprise and Ultimate in both 32 and 64 bit. There isn't a preferred version among those 3 so I recommend getting the one that best fits your business needs. Of course, if you are struggling with large assemblies I would recommend one of the 64bit versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzito Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Hi Cary, Have installed x64 version, at start up I get a message about tampering of the system clock etc. press OK start up stops.

Thanks, Steve 23457[/snapback] I have installed the 32 bit test version on Vista Home Premium on my laptop (2GB Ram) and so far no problems. Still testing some larger files though. Vista uses about 700MB of RAM to run Vista ! Cheers, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzito Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Kevin The file attached was one I was have problems with whenever i tried to edit the cross section, I'm still having problems uploading the other file. I'll try again soon. Thanks Canberra_glas.ics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Appears to be something with the constraints display on the profile. If you turn off the visibility of the profiles, it will be able to edit. We will file it as a bug. Cary **Edit** Actually it may be something else in the sketch. Does the profile have splines?

Cary OConnor Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Other than the sketch issue reported, how is the rest of the testing on Vista going? We are still looking to go live on Friday (or post it over the weekend). Please let me know Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzito Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Cary Apart from the edit issues its goes well, I notice that we are now getting metric fasteners as the default when initial install is metric this saves swapping all the time. Selecting out of catalogs is also improved. and best of all x64 really hums thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The edit issue is not really related to Vista just so everyone knows. We may need to supply a fix later directly to address this issue. Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuche Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 any word on this? I have dealers calling up daily looking if they can update and we have ones that have switched up on the xp platform submitting drawings that we can not open because we have not updated yet.

Cary OConnor Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi All, It will be released this week. We are building and signing the packages early this week and should be able to post this week (hopefully Tuesday night or Wednesday). We found and uninstall and patch install for PU1 issue that pushed us into this week, but we are resolving that now. Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
