#Visual Link dead?
6 messages in this thread
We are awaiting 12 upgrade copies of R3, and we also ordered acad/win and
Visual Link. Adesk told our software ordering guy that Visual Link would not
work with R3, so we said, get it anyway, we'll use it with R2 and wait for an
upgrade. When we again contacted Adesk, we were told that Visual Link was no
longer being sold due to serious bugs.
What's the real story? Also, if VL is still available, can it work at all with
Acad for Windows?
Thanks,

My understanding is that Visual Link is not dead but is undergoing changes, to
be released at some future time. Visual Link will work with 3DSR3 howevever it
will not support all of 3's features. No Visual Link does not work under
Windows. AutoVision isn't out for Windows either but, I've heard a Windows and
a Unix version are in progress.

I have not tried VisualLink with R3 but the R3 file has a version change
which may cause VisualLink to skip all of the objects. BTW, only the final
release contained this change so the beta releases did still work.

Yost Group has nothing to do with Visual Link. I wrote the documentation, but
strictly as an outside contractor, so I have no idea what Autodesk's plans are
for the product. A dealer could probably give you a better idea of its current
state and compatibility with various products.

Thanks for the info, Jack. You guys are so on top of things that it's easy to
get carried away and assume you are omniscient.
