CAD transform 0.9x not compatible with blender 4.x

[linuxuser63]

Just downloaded blender 4.0.1 and everytime I open it it crashes. Wrote to blender and they said that based on the info provided it appeared that "slcad_transform" was the issue. I turned CAD Transform off and reloaded BL 4.0.1 and it worked and did not crash. Using CAD Transform 0.95.0

CAD Transform 0.9x is not compatible with blender 4.x, there are many breaking changes in the blender's API. You must wait for next release.

When it is expected to work again? pretty bummed that i bought it just now, and its not working. Should have even mentioned it, before hand..

Soon, version 2.0 is in closed beta state now.

In facts it is "half - mentioned" in product description. CAD like transform operations for blender 2.81+ / 2.91+ / 3.0+

With breaking changes like Metal API and known weakness / issues in 0.9.x series it is obvious that simple fixes are not suited anymore to keep it working as expected. So took the decision to completely rewrite from scratch, and upcoming release will be a true game changer.

Okay, thanks for a quick reply. I`ll be waiting for this =) Just got in to a blender few weeks ago, and now i found about this thing, and it really seems to be a game changer!

Try to change line 402 in the file /home/lgoldman/.config/blender/4.0/scripts/addons/slcad_transform/utils/gpu_draw.py to: _shader = get_shader('UNIFORM_COLOR')

Thank you helour. I tried your suggestion, but CAD transform would not open in blender 4.0.1 I appreciate the effort

@s-leger Do you have an indication on when you would be releasing v2.0?

[s-leger]

End of this week probably.

[BarryDGleeson]

Can't wait

[dallinlemon]

End of this week probably.

@s-leger Do we have any updates on this? Where should we be watching for the latest updates/status? I am currently really excited to work through the PDT course, but I need to wait until I have the addon working.

End of this week probably.

Can't wait
