V2 beta Aug-1-2008 available now

 From:  Michael Gibson
1839.1 
A new v2 beta is available for download here:
http://moi3d.com/beta.htm (also linked to from the Download page).

You will need to enter your v1 license key to download the v2 beta.

The v2 beta installs into its own folder, it is not a problem to have v1 and any v2 beta installed on the same machine, in fact I recommend that so that you can fall back to v1 if you run into some temporary bad bug in v2.


New stuff for this version:


Updated Solids++ geometry library to latest version. There were a lot of bug fixes for a variety of things, but a lot of changes also brings the possibility of new problems as well. Please let me know if you run across things that don't work as well as in the previous version. (Actually I'm already seeing that there will probably need quite a few tune-ups from this, this beta may be fairly unstable).

STEP and SAT file format import and export support.

Feet & inches type units display - you can now pick "Feet & inches" as a unit system under Options / Unit system, which will set up units for US architectural style stuff, like 26' 3½".

New options for Array Dir, see: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1774.22

New option for Array Curve, see:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1774.33

Support for typing in numeric expressions for values, things like 22/5 will be calculated for you, see: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1774.24


There are some other bug fixes, and a couple of other things, I'll be out for a couple of days and try to post some more details next week.
