Eyeshot version 2024 is based on NET6/NET7/NET8 and Framework 4.7.2

By that do you mean it should still be possible to build an app against .net framework 4.7.2 ?

Other notes released along the year seems to point to the fact it wouldn't be supported on anything else than .NET 6 and up

Hi - i would also like to now whether 4.7.2 is still supported? Our software is still a few years from being upgraded

Hello,

I can confirm that Eyeshot 2024 still offers support for .NET Framework 4.7.2.
Eyeshot is now delivered through NuGet packages that are compatible with .NET Framework 4.7.2, .NET 6, .NET 7 and .NET 8.

We would like to clarify that in some of our release notes when we mentioned Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6, we were referring to source sample codes included with the installer. These codes are designed to target .NET 6, and to work with them and get the full experience of Eyeshot 2024, it is necessary to use Visual Studio 2022.

We apologize for any confusion that may have arisen due to the way our message was phrased. We plan on revising those notes to provide better clarity.

I appreciate your understanding.

Hello

I just want to let you know that devDept.Geometry.Transformation IsScaled was renamed to HasScaling (according to properties description) and there is no BC entry. Isn't reported by migration tool too.

Hello Matteo,

Thank you for reporting the missing item, I have updated the article and we will also update the migration tool.

Can a developer without license continue to develop without a license? After upgrading to Eyeshot 2024, I am seeing an "invalid developer license" while trying to run in debug. Please advise.

Hello Ron,

You should see that error message only if you interact with Eyeshot. If you need to interact with Eyeshot, you need to purchase a license.

BC-263	Added Entity.CloneWithTessellation() abstract method	Check this article on how to clone a custom entity
BC-262	Resolved conflict between Viewport.InitialView and Viewport.Camera properties in WPF designer settings	Fixed an issue in the WPF designer settings where Viewport.InitialView and Viewport.Camera properties were conflicting when both were defined in XAML. Now, you must specify either the Viewport.InitialView property or the Viewport.Camera property, but not both simultaneously, as they interfere with each other’s functionality.
BC-261	Changed RenderContextBase.DrawRichSmoothTriangles() method signature	RenderContextBase.DrawRichSmoothTriangles() and RenderContextBase.DrawRichSmoothInvTriangles() methods need an additional rotation parameter
BC-260	Changed ICurve.Offset() and OffsetToRegion() methods signatures	Removed the tolerance parameter because it is not necessary anymore
BC-259	Changed RenderToBitmap() method signature	Changed the parameters drawScale and lineWeightFactor type from double to float
BC-258	Changed Label.Draw() method signature	Added double drawScale parameter
BC-257	Removed Workspace tooltip-related methods	Some public/protected methods related to tooltips have been removed and are now for internal use only. Workspace.EnableToolTip() and Workspace.ManageToolTip() were exclusive to WinForms and have been removed. Workspace.PrepareToolTip() was available for both WinForms and WPF and has also been removed.
BC-256	Changed signature of Document.CopyTo() method	Added keepTessellation parameter to Document.CopyTo method.
BC-255	Removed Surface.Gordon(IList<ICurve>, IList<ICurve>, Point3D[,]) method overload	From now on, you need to call Surface.Gordon(IList<ICurve>, IList<ICurve>), the intersections will be calculated within this method.
BC-253	New prerequisites for Eyeshot.x64 and Eyeshot.x86	The ODA libraries have been upgraded from version 23.11 (v14) to 25.7 (v17) and now include native assemblies for .NET. This means we have different DLLs for .NET Framework, .NET 6, .NET 7, and .NET 8. Please note that you must install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version.
BC-251	SystemSolved event	SketchEntity.SystemSolved event is now raised by SketchEntity.UpdateAndInvalidate()
BC-250	Removed SelectedSketchPoint class	Keeping both SelectedSketchCurve and SelectedSketchPoint classes was unnecessary since we now have a single list of curves (SketchEntity.CurveList) with both points and curves.
BC-249	SketchCurveLinked and SketchCurveDeleted events	Previously, the SketchCurveLinked and SketchCurveDeleted events were not raised for the points attached to a curve. Now, the handler will be invoked once for the sketch curve and once for every point liked to it, for example, after calling SketchEntity.AddLine(), SketchCurveLinked will be raised free times: once for the line, once for the start point, and once for the endpoint.
BC-247	AddedSketchCurve and DeletedSketchCurve properties	SketchCurveLinkedEventArgs.AddedSketchCurve and SketchCurveDeletedEventArgs.DeletedSketchCurve are now of type ICurve. Instead of containing the geometrical sketch entity SketchCurve, the event arguments now store the graphical ICurve.

BC-248	Removed IsolateAvailable property	Removed Workspace.IsolateAvailable property. Isolate feature is now always available.
BC-246	ReadSTEP class refactor	What has changed: RootBlock with proper STEP Shape Representation name when available Geometric sets (points and curves) are grouped in blocks with proper names or indices Entity.EntityData property always filled with the proper name or index Entities and Blocks are always ordered according to their STEP index More information in the ReadSTEP.Log When you can't find your entities, in most cases you need to change this: `Brep brep = (Brep) rs.Entities[0];` like this: `Brep brep = (Brep) rs.Blocks[0].Entities[0];`
BC-245	Changed SymbolSize property	Changed PlanarEntity.SymbolSize property type to double
BC-244	Changed CompileInternal() method signature	The EntityGraphicsData parameter has been removed from the RenderContextBase.CompileInternal() method. Use the CompilingEntity property instead.
BC-243	Renamed GetAllEnclosedEntities() method	Renamed Workspace.GetAllEnclosedEntities() method as GetEnclosedEntities()
BC-242	Changed GetCrossingEntities() method signature	Removed accParentTransform parameter from Workspace.GetCrossingEntities() method
BC-241	Removed GetAllCrossingEntities() method	Removed Workspace.GetAllCrossingEntities() method, use GetCrossingEntities() with firstOnly parameter to false instead.
BC-240	Obsolete selection methods	Removed obsolete selection methods
BC-239	ZBufferBase.IsInvalidRange() method	ZBufferBase.IsInvalidRange() method has been changed to property

BC-254	Removed labels GDI drawing methods	All GDI drawing methods for labels have been removed, standard drawing methods can be used instead.
BC-238	Renamed Transformation.IsScaled	Renamed `Transformation.IsScaled` property to `HasScaling`
BC-237	Entity.TransformBy()	The behavior of Entity.BoxMin/BoxMax properties after entity transformation was inconsistent across entity types. For some entity types, those properties were updated, for others they were not. In Eyeshot 2024, this is uniform.
BC-236	GetAssembly() method	Since there is a unified installer for all the editions (Pro, Ultimate, Fem), the method Workspace.GetAssembly() does not return the info about the edition anymore. You can use Utility.ProductEdition instead.
BC-235	XRefPath, FullPath, FileName properties	Block.XRefPath, Block.FullPath, ReadFileAsync.FileName, WriteFileAsync.FileName, HiddenLinesView.FileName properties were renamed to FilePath.
BC-234	Removed small object culling feature	The feature has been retired in Eyeshot 2024. Removed `SmallSizeMoving`, `SmallSizeStill`, `SmallSizeRatioMoving`, `SmallSizeRatioStill` properties and `ComputeSmallSizeStill()`, `ComputeSmallSizeMoving()` methods of `Viewport` class.
BC-233	Removed Turbo feature altogether	Turbo feature has been retired in Eyeshot 2024
BC-232	Changed GetVisualRefinementDeviation() method	`Document.GetVisualRefinementDeviation()` method has been renamed into `Document.GetVisualRefinement()` and now returns `RegenParams` class
BC-231	Removed LicenseManager class	Removed `LicenseManager` class in favor of the new Licensing Model
BC-230	Renamed InitializeScene event	Renamed `Workspace.InitializeScene` event to `ContentRendered`. This event is necessary for WPF UserControl implementations only.
BC-229	PrintSimulationMesh and MultiFastMesh classes	`MotionRangeStyle` visibility changed from `public` to `internal` (used only for reading/writing from/to .eye files) `MotionRangeSurrogate` and `MotionRangeStyleSurrogate` visibility changed from `public` to `internal` `MultiFastMesh` changes: from `public Tuple<int, int, Color>[] SubMeshColors` to `List<SubMeshInterval> SubMeshIntervals` from `public MultiFastMesh(float[], float[], int[], Tuple<int, int>[])` to `public MultiFastMesh(float[], float[], int[], IntInterval[])` `MultiFastMesh.Compile(CompileParams)` throws an `EyeshotException` if VBOs are not supported. `PrintSimulationMesh` changes: from `public void SetVisualStyle(IList<MotionRangeStyle>, Dictionary<string, Color>)` to `public void SetVisualStyle(IList<MotionInterval>, Dictionary<string, Color>)` removed property `public Dictionary<string, Color> StyleColors` (the dictionary is not accessible anymore, the client can change its content by using the methods `Get/SetStyleColor(string)` from `public MotionRange[] MotionsByLayer` to `public IntInterval[] MotionsByLayer` from `public PrintSimulationMesh(Toolpath, IList<MotionRangeStyle>, Dictionary<string, Color>, Plane)` to `public PrintSimulationMesh(Toolpath, IList<MotionInterval>, Dictionary<string, Color>, Plane, float?)` `Toolpath.Motion` changes: removed `public float PrintExtrusionRadius` (replaced by `PrintExtrusionRadiusX` and `PrintExtrusionRadiusY`) In constructor `public MultiFastMesh(float[], float[], int[], IntInterval[])` the `IntInterval`s are considered as closed intervals as described by `IntInterval`'s documentation (they were interpreted as open intervals prior to this change)
BC-228	Removed Leaf suffix from code selection method names	Renamed `GetAllCrossingEntitiesLeaf()` method to `GetAllCrossingEntities()` Renamed `GetCrossingEntitiesLeaf()` method to `GetCrossingEntities()` Renamed `GetAllEnclosedEntitiesLeaf()` method to `GetAllEnclosedEntities()` Removed `protected overload Workspace.GetCrossingEntities(Rectangle, bool , out List<SelectedItem>, bool)`
BC-227	IFC properties	Removed `IIfcEntity` interface and related `IfcMesh`, `IfcBlockReference`, and `IfcLinearPath` classes. IFC properties are now located in the new `Entity.IfcProperties` property. Removed the `IfcLayer` class and moved the associated Description and Identifier properties to `Layer` class.
BC-226	WPF Toolbar color properties	Changed WPF `ToolBar.BackgroundColor` and `ToolBar.BackgroundBorderColor` type from `System.Drawing.Color` to `System.Windows.Media.Brush`
BC-225	Removed SketchManager class	Please check this article.
BC-224	ProgressBar class	Closed some ProgressBar class methods: `DrawCircular()` `DrawCircularContinous()` `ComputeCircular()` `DrawDocked()` `DrawDockedContinuous()` `DrawLinear()` `DrawLinearContinuous()` `DrawProgressCircularTick()`
BC-223	Removed ResizeBegin()	Removed the obsolete `Workspace.ResizeBegin()` method
BC-222	DWG/DXF import	Extruded surfaces and curves with a defined thickness are now imported from `ReadAutodesk` class as `Brep` entities.
