Service Pack 1 for IRONCAD 2024

Over 100 items fixed. In addition, more import/export formats are now available as options.

IronCAD LLC in Atlanta has been working hard to identify and fix various potential issues in IRONCAD 2024. They have a list of about 90 items that have been fixed with this Service Pack 1. Several features in the file management, sketching, 3D graphics and 2D drawing area are improved.

There is also a new possibility to export 3D files from IRONCAD in the basic version with SP1. The export function is called GLTF writer and supports version 2.0. The format can be used to display 3D models on web pages.

We at Solidmakarna have tested this Service Pack 1 and have seen clear improvements in some areas where files or functions have not behaved as expected. We can recommend everyone running IRONCAD 2024 (also INOVATE, DRAFT and COMPOSE in version 2024) to install SP1.

Note: Uncheck the IC MECHANICAL option in the installation box. This is because we have a Swedish adapted version of IC Mechanical and the one included in SP1 is the American version.

If you do not, a dialog box will appear BEHIND the installation information and you will be expected to click OK. This is not really a problem, what happens otherwise is that the installation stops and waits for you to click ok on the box in the background. Your existing IC Mechanical will not be installed over even if you do not uncheck that option.

In connection with SP1 there are now also new formats for import/export, such as IFC and Revit used in construction. This is done using a new import filter called Architectural Translator. This is installed with Service Pack 1 for IronCAD DCS 2024. More about Architectural Translator in a separate Update post.
