Not a question but new version 2015 - 2.0 is awesome.
Just downloaded now and exploring new features like the transparent dislay feature. The model display is cleaner with smoother lines and subdued colors compared to previous Varicad 1.9.
Varicad 2015-2.0
Probably the 2015-2.0 version is better than ever, but at the moment I haven't got enough good video card for it which supports at least the Open GL 4.0.
I've got only Open GL 3.3 compatible one..
The jump between the Open GL 1 and 4 is too high.
I miss the Open GL 3 compatible mode.
Here are the Open GL 3 and 4 compatible video cards at Nvidia:

There is need minimum Geforce 405:

This is a low price solution, but the more popular Geforce GT 610 seems to me the best choice (by performance/price ratio):

Video card
I'm using AMD Firepro W4100 and OpenGL 4.3 is supported.

Varicad 2015 version 2.02 just released which is quite a quick follow up to version 2.0.
Varicad 2015-2.03
Latest version installed just now. Stunning is the word. Subdued model colors from 2.02 seem much sharper with this version at least in my case. Simply I enjoy using this software and I use it practically everyday. Every iteration just gets better and better.
