RE: [rp-ml] Surfacer 10.6 with Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Tracy,

It will run on 7 and you should not lose any capability it will just
probably run in XP 32 compatibility bit mode.

Cheers,

In hindsight my message was a bit confusing. The switch to 64 bit OS is to
support large models in Pro Engineer and Unigraphics. Once they have been
exported, Surfacer usually doesn't have a problem with them. And yes,
Surfacer was designed for NT so there would be no advantage to the 64 bit
OS, but I don't want to make it impossible to run Surfacer until I have an
alternative. Hopefully that's more clear.

Sure it will run under 7 but vista will be a crapshoot. If the software is
64bit capable then it will use the "extra" memory available in the new
systems if not it will perform the same.

Ok guys please don't laugh. I still use Surfacer 10.6 to prepare models. Old
as it might be it works well for what we build. Currently I'm using XP but
the models are getting larger all the time as most of the designers have
switched to 64 bit OS. The fix from IT is a 64 bit OS for me. My only
hesitation is that the fix may be more trouble than the problem.

The question is will it run well under Windows Vista or Windows 7?

Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
