HighDesign on OSX Mountain Lion

Post by axys »

Is HD being readied to run on Mountain Lion? Can we have some idea of when the next release will be please, if only to allay fears that HD has been abandoned?

Has it not?

Either they are busy reinventing the wheel, or it has been... I can't think of any other reason for the prolonged and insistent silence. I really don't want to be rude, but I had such high hopes for HD, and for the longest time their customer service was second to none. I reported an issue to them about 1.8.7 weeks ago, rec'd a reply to say they were looking into it and have heard nothing back since.

By comparison Cheetah3D - a 3D modelling, rendering and animation programme - developed by ONE single guy - has had 37 updates since Jan 2006 - an average of 5+ updates per year. He's moved it from v2.6.1 to v6 in that time and they have been significant updates.

If there is no release very soon I fear it will be time to move on.

I completely agree with macitect. It appears as though HD and it's users have been abandoned.

I am afraid i may have to start looking for a new CAD solution soon. I will likely continue using HD until my system will no longer support it. It is frustrating to think of having to find and adapt to a new system again.

I repeat my request to Ilexsoft regarding Mountain Lion. Is it being readied to run on ML, which is only weeks away?

HighDesign is dead. That's all.

Franco, I appreciate your concern, but I have to disagree with you :) HighDesign is well alive, supported, and actively developed! And it is going to be, oh so cool!!!
