Step by step to the perfection! :)
And more dynamic than before!

Hi Marky, yes I am very excited to get a bunch of new useful tools going!

There will be more stuff to fix but it seems like the ACIS developers are making improvements and fixes pretty well. Slowly, but it's happening.

It looks like there will be a lot of things that can now be handled directly inside MoI without needing to export to another program.

I will put together a new v5 beta release before the end of this next week.

Things are looking very good for stability so the final v5 version can be done soon I think.

So lots of great things on the very near horizon! :)

I'm also feeling optimistic about the longer term horizon as well. Having a partner company that is actively working on improving their library will be a big deal.

Thanks,
- Michael

Yeeehaaaa!!!!! ;-)

Michael,

Great to read of your enthusiasm and optimism about the ACIS integration! MoI is such a wonderful tool and you have been steadfast in your vision for it, I look forward to the next beta as well as the releases to come. Well done Sir!

Nice to see the ACIS integration paying off !

Thanks! :) I think that all the fillet cases that you've previously sent will be working in the next beta.

It's been slow but they've been able to make progress with bug fixes.

I've been waiting for some of the fixes for up to 6 months. But when the fixes have been delivered they seem to usually be legit and not just quick hacks that make one case work but making other cases fail.

It is generally a quite difficult area to work on without causing regressions as a side effect.

I've been kind of in limbo as I've waited to see what their response was going to be like. Finally I'm feeling confident that it is not a dead codebase and they are both willing and able to make progress. Slowly... but surely.

And now that fillets are on a decent track and don't need full time babysitting I'm able to exploit some various other useful stuff as well.

It's been a lot of hard work, drama, and a lot of uncertainty... I guess you can see why I've been reluctant to attempt it previously.
