< free ArtForm Pro 4.0 Software
Have you a link to this ?

Hi Pilou,

i no longer have the link.... But when you look at their Web site
you can check their BBS Forum Link for ArtForm Pro 4.0.

But you have to register at their Forum in order to download the
Software and also register the Software with your Username and
Password.

Thx but seems very complex to register in Chiness ? :)

This is very interesting. There is a translated page that says ArtForm 4.0 was renamed to 3.5. How many developers would reduce/regress their version number?

Thanks Stefan, looks great.

@Pilou It is not so difficult if you open up a second window in your Browser and use Google Translator... :-)

@chrisd I think they did that because their Enterprise version of ArtForm was one version lower
and they simply unified the numbering scheme for both versions.

@Franz Thank you, maybe you can use it.

and the UI is also in Chiness ?

The registration pop-up menu is in chinese, but the software switches to english menus.

Hi Pilou,

here is a screenshot of the NURBS module in ArtForm Pro 4.0.

Hope this helps.

Don't find the Forum for registering! :(
(even with the Translate :)

Hi Pilou,

click on the translated link from Chris... and read carefully the English translation
from the first post. There you will find at the bottom of this post a link to register
and a link to login for the download.

Regards
Stefan

P.S. In case registering does not work with the translated page, due to CAPTCHA's etc.
use in the first Browser window the original Chinese page. As CAPTCHA there come up
two Chinese characters, which you see and which you have to click in the right order.

Once you have access to the forum (the original Chinese page) and downloaded the
software look at the pop-up menu for a line with two input fields, one for your
Username and one for your password. Once the software accepted your input the
software should start then in English.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Stefan

A chiness headache maze! :)

Unfortunately, the Chinese ways are also complicated for me...

Here I am, but cannot start...
Do I need the software JDSoft SurfMill 7.0 for registration?

Hi Franz, excellent! :-) Now you only need to input your Username in the first (white) field and your Forum Password in the second (white) field. After that click the button below the fields and then the software should start in English. SurfMill is not required for registration, it's an additional Software for creating Router Paths for CNC Machines.

P.S. should the Software not start in English i post a screen shot were you must look for the menu switch.

Regards
Stefan

Will be fine if you could make some snap shot screen of each step !:)

... according to the description of Stefan.... 8815.11

Hope I can help with this screenshots:
(You get a Email after register, landing often in the spam)

Now I'm here, but I have to learn how to use the program.
Imported the Moi drawing in IGES format to be processed in ArtForm 3.5. However, not yet the success as Stefan in the step "merge".
Let's see now. I need some more time.

And at the last page register (if success) what button to Press at the end ?
Edit success register but now

Hi Pilou,

it should be the little blue button below the Captcha code. The other two buttons, the big blue and big green are for other network media registration, if i remember correctly. Like QQ (large blue button) a chinese service, similar when you register at sites via a Facebook account.

@Franz currently i can't help because i'm busy at work, but it looks like you have not merged the corners. I did it that way that i merged the corners with their sides first and then merged the other sides with the top surfaces and at the end merged those large stripes as one surface.

Stefan
