Eric,

Has RealCADD been tested on Big Sur?

Bonjour Mike,

Yes, RealCADD works on Big Sur but there is a bug with the scripts.

I will fix it.

Thanks.

So I discovered – my Beamcamber scripts don't work :( :(

Eric – will they work do you think when you fix it?

I can send you a copy of the scripts if necessary??

Otherwise no problems so far

Cheers -- George

Theoretically RealCADD 5.02b3 is OK on Big Sur.

I still have a problem with my Beamcamber script.

It produces a text file which I open in Prefit to create a 3_D surface that I can open in MacSurf.

The text file should look like this:
test.jpg
test.jpg (121.69 KiB) Viewed 3832 times
But it's gone into engineering mode like this:
test2.jpg
test2.jpg (192.54 KiB) Viewed 3832 times
Which Prefit can't read

I can send you the whole sript (there are two of them Beamcamber and Sidedeck)

Cheers -- George

Bonjour George,

Can you try RealCADD 5.02b4?

I think that the problem with some scripts is resolved.
With v5.00, I introduced a bug in Global_x and Global_y...

In 5.02b4, there is a new option in Preferences -> Display to allow drawings without anti-aliasing.
In this case, the speed can be increased for drawings with many objects.

Thanks.

Hi Eric

Problem solved!! All good again. Thanks very much. I guess I hadn't used Beamcamber for a while ...

Does the anti-aliasing option affect the quality of a PDF, or a JPEG from a RealCADD drawing?? Is it better to have anti-aliasing checked for printing to PDF or saving to JPEG?

I have to say I don't have any speed problem, even on large complex drawings – but I do break them down by layers and use Layer layouts & Views to move around in a big drawing.

Cheers -- George

Theoretically anti-aliasing have no effect on printing or saving to JPEG.
