Well, we're not allowed to talk about the beta here, but join the beta program and we can have a chat in the forums there.

Feel free to see my "what's new in AcadE 2017 - 2023" video: https://youtu.be/TDCSXA83hTU

And for 2024:

Didn't bother making one for 2025. And it doesn't look good for 2026 either.

Seems to be the sentiment for all the upcoming variants if those posts are from true testers....

Have you had the time to look at the beta and see what your yearly subscription money gives you? (Including the right to use the software)

here I am sitting in my fortune telling booth with a big crystal ball in front of me

I see an "A" in the ball red at the moment but wait a minute the "A" symbol is changing is this an icon update I see !!!

the mist is clearing I see some wonderful statement based on what is new in ACADE and that’s strange

it seems that all the fantastic functionality and workflows added to ACADE are not ACADE specific it’s to do with the base product

aha I see genuine change it’s a miracle the new function they are promoting something there’s something familiar about it

Yes, the mist is clearing it was reported as a bug several years ago and now they are spinning it as a new feature

but low and behold that inventor integration has made a minuscule improvement it still does not stop people from saying it’s the worst technical integration between 2d and 3D electrical design to walk the face of the earth

but here’s the absolute 100% prediction

any bug fixes will unearth other bugs and the 100 plus serious bugs in the software will not have been addressed

welcome to the new ACADE same as the old ACADE with new and improved bug generation !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does the "Watt" indicate ?

Is this like the 2026 beta?

It's just the Code name for the new release.

You can find some previous code names here.
