What changed in each version of Viquis 3D, newest first. Version 1.12.0 is the first public release; earlier versions were development builds, used only for testing before launch.
Only the latest version is available to download. The online version is always up to date.
First public release of Viquis 3D, online and for Windows.
Windows program: very large STEP, IGES and BREP files (hundreds of MB) open with a dedicated reader, with a real progress bar and a cancel button.
Available in 15 languages, with the user manual in all of them.
Pro activation with a licence key, confirmed automatically.
1.11.0
Development
Highlight circles to mark areas of a part, also in images and in the PDF.
Command box: type instructions such as “cut in Z at the middle” or “make the PDF in A3”.
Batch processing: convert files and create images and parts lists for a whole folder.
HTML package so clients can view the part in 3D without installing anything; arrange parts on the printer bed and save as 3MF.
1.10.0
Development
Holes recognised automatically: diameter, depth, type and quantity, with a table for Excel.
Holes are now dimensioned in the technical drawing PDF.
1.9.0
Development
Quotes for turning and laser cutting, as well as 3D printing and milling.
Quantity pricing, delivery time and payment terms in the PDF.
Save a quote to a file and open it again later.

Each quote line has its own process, material and finish.
1.8.2
Development
New, cleaner design for the quote PDF.
