Printing now supports floating point coordinates for improved accuracy. End result, frame rates have the potential to be faster in v9. Withv9, those draw elements that do not have a 3D OpenGL equivalent are drawn into an overlay window on top of OpenGL. The result was a small frame delay for compositing the 2D frame into the 3D frame.
In the past, objects that did not have a 3D OpenGL equivalent were composited using 2D. ViaCAD draws 3D data to the screen using OpenGL. The old Carbon framework used to interface to the Mac OS has been replaced with Cocoa and CoreGraphics. Previously you were limited to around 2.3 GB of model data in virtual memory.
This means you can load much larger parts and models. Spatial, our technology partner, now only supports 64 bit Mac DLLs for ACIS. With v9, all Mac OS X builds will be 64 bit compatible. You can now drag and rotate the workplane with a mouse driven GUI. Use the new Grid Properties dialog box under the Workplane menu to explore the different options. You can also change the grid orientation by an angle. You now have an option to display the workplane grid as a polar or ISO grid. Making dovetales with the Woodworking Joints
You can now create rabbet, dado (through, stopped, blind), miters, dovetails, and tongue/groove.
