Encore/PunchCAD ViaCAD Pro $99 sale

PunchCAD have just introduced V7 of their ViaCAD Pro program, and they're selling it at an introductory price of $99. I've spent a lot of money on various CAD apps over the years, and I beta tested this one. It does solid and surface modeling, apart or together, including things like untrimming surfaces, tangency and continuity. Reorderable history, associative modeling and feature recognition. Scripting, data entry evaluates formula statement entry or polynomials, parametric surfaces from formulae. Format interchange to STEP and IGES as well as facet formats like .stl, .3ds, .obj. Even Rhino or MoI .3dm. As well, it does automatic sheet layouts from 3D models, or from-scratch 2D drawings with output to Illustrator .ai, .dxf/dwg and others. It'll do it on a netbook, mostly forget-about-it stable.

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

I meant to highlight the reduced-price opportunity, though IMO it's a good deal at the regular price. I'm a user, not the seller, so think of it more as a very brief review if that's more kosher!

No worries.
