I feel a bit wiled every time I have to re-evaluate due to taxes. In this case you’re getting near the cost of Fusion360 which unfortunately like Onshape is cloud-based. So…please tell me why I can not be on two devices at the same time.
By the way, I am not running a business. Please stop thinking that people run a business just because they want to use a modeller.
P.s Richard Vanderhye of law firm Nixon&Vanderhye, Washington D.C. called me almost 30 years ago to tell me personally that my patent had passed and he had not heard of a patent being issued within 3 months.
That he said was due to the paper work and drawings I had prepared for them beforehand, drawings from pencil and paper.
I have always dreamed of software like Shapr3d to express my ideas and please go figure from what I’m saying that peoples ideas at grass-root level is always …
A company is and shall be a product of people who have gotten the best of assistance in their pursuit, a company is not a prerequisite.
For crying out loud, you don’t think people know they can deduct taxes?
Let me add that I just started a subscription and tried on both Ipad Pro and Surface Pro. I moved my .shapr file with a sd card and I currently have app on both devices working simultaneously.
Please, fill me in. I’m not looking forward to loosing because I have to figure things out myself.
I do understand that the file is device resident and wonder if that is what you meant by the issue of working on two devices.
You see, my frustration is based on hazy information. There are differences between Win n IOS. Take for instance just the simple fact that once clicking on subscription in IOS VAT is added, a simple issue like that.
Having Shapr3d through Apple app store also means that no log-in is needed, hence my question once I started using Windows. I would like to hear that my files won’t be stored elsewhere in the future, it is always an integrity issue involved for many of us.
Please excuse me, I have gotten used to walk around with my foot in a tin bucket and ramble loudly to get people to light up and take questions seriously unfortunately. Thanks for better support than most other instances behind competing products.
I meant log on in Ipad seems to be auto through using Apple-id.
I really meant Cloud yes, but if you say it would be optional I really like to hear that, thank you.
By the way, using now on both the Surface Pro n the Ipad Pro I see why I like this product even more now. Having the large display/monitor, trackball mouse and the keyboard plus my 3d-printer in one place makes this a desktop “workstation” and having the Ipad makes it a “Notebook” for use any time I want to pick it up and jot as ideas start flowing.
This is really getting to where I wanted to be back in mid 90’s with my Cadkey n 486.
I work on my Ipad Pro or my Macbook Pro depending on what part of the design process I am in or where I am physically can determine what device I work from. Having to constantly sign in and out is annoying. Couldn’t I just assign my devices to my subscription the same way my Adobe account does?
I also go between my Mac and my iPad. I think that the system where you can go between two computers is a standard in the industry. Sometimes I’m using my desktop machine if I’m recording instructional videos, other times I’m using my laptop. Then I might switch to my iPad when I’m going to hang out in a café or a coffee shop. I shouldn’t have to log out every time that I switch devices. We pay enough for the software, we should be trusted to use it in a way that is ethical. I think you will find that people who are willing to pay that much money for subscription are inherently trustworthy.
We have changed the multi-device logic quite a while ago, if you are running the a recent app version, you shouldn’t get logged out as long as you use less than 4 devices. Let us know if it still happens.
Not from my experience, speaking of CAD-industry the top dogs, which still relay on on-premise-software and local licensing (without named-user-licenses) allow only one activation per license.
That is of course a different story with software that phones home regulary and / or has named-user-licensing (what is something I personally dislike for good reasons).
But as Lacy already stated: no problem with S3D - I am using 3 devices perfectly fine, without any log-on hassle.
Being able to use Shapr3D on devices is pretty decent. A lot of more expensive similar type programs only allow two devices, and make one jump through hoops getting there.
