Is Tools.cde broken in 2021?

I am finding that several of the functions in Tools.cde is not working in 2021. For example: Line Parallel Tangent and Create Bisector as well as others. Can anyone confirm that its not just me?

Keith,

Some of the functions in Tools.CDE were not functional when we released 2021 SP0.(because of a delay in delivery of 3rd party components). We did cover this in the release notes.

This issue has since been addressed. Please contact tech support and they will provide you with updated files that you can place in your install folder. The SP1 release will formally resolve this.

Overall we would really like input from users on which functions in this CDE you depend on regularly. The CDE was written by a third party and if there are functions that you use a lot, we would like to promote these to be part of the main product so it remains fully supported.

Got it, working now thank you!

Currently I primarily use Create Bisector, Line Parallel to Tangent and Convert to Arcs. I will ask my users to see if they have any additional functions to list.

In my opinion, you can bring it in the core program. Solomon Steinberg, Israel DELL OPTIPLEX 7050 NVIDIA QUADRO P2000 KEYCREATOR 13.5 KEYCREATOR 2020 SP2 Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post


Advanced member	Dana - 11/9/2020 9:27:28 AM RE:Is Tools.cde broken in 2021? "Save Part In" is the one function I find essential. I use "Line Parallel Tangent" and "Convert to Arcs" occasionally. Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post
