Windows 10 Arm suuport

Windows 10 Arm suuport

 Please  compile the windows 10 version of this app for ARM support. 

With the new  Surface coming, having arm support will be crucial for people who want to use Windows on the slimmer device, and still need to use Sketchbook.

Here's a little update. I picked up a new Surface Pro X, well aware that  the  native ARM64 application selection would be limited. So  far I've been using an older 32-bit version of Sketchbook (8.5.1 I believe).

it's  usable,  but  missing the ability to  rotate the canvas  to to a graphic driver. I very much prefer the Windows 10  app, as it  pans and  zooms so much smother, and  the auto save and recover is a lifesaver... but alas, that version is 64-bit only.

I implore you  Autodesk...  please get  Sketchbook ARM64 compatible. Adobe Fresco is on the way for ARM... and I really don't want to go down that road.

Is there any chance revit would be recompiled for ARM64? I have 45 days to return my Surface pro x 😉

A good stop-gap would be to simply resume providing 32-bit Intel packages. The Pro X runs them just fine. I've tried Chrome and it renders and scrolls through pages without any apparent lag.

 

Microsoft didn't spend millions of dollars developing the SQ1 chip on a lark. They are betting on ARM64 as the long-term future of Windows on mobile devices. The time to get ahead of this is now. Adobe is already porting their software to this platform.

Yes, doot5RMX7

 

 

Continuing with 32 would be an okay compromise, but only if  they updated the graphics driver to work with DirectX instead of depending on OpenGL (Which doesn't work on ARM as of yet) 

The SQ1 is actually very powerful, I've used to to play Portal, and  Arkham Knight in high res.

 

I'd even wager that  compiling for Arm64 would be  just as easy for the win 10 app as maintaining a 32-bit variant considering  Sketchbook already runs on ARM on android and ios. Plus Microsoft soft put tools in place to make compilation easy for devs.   

Hopefully  we all will get our dreams and Sketchbook will run on all modern hardware and have feature parity across all platforms.

Good points. It looks like they just need to compile for Universal Windows Platform (UWP):

Plus the DirectX thing for rotation.

 

There are already several "drawing apps" for this platform, but none from a company I've heard of or have any reason to trust. If Autodesk manages to get this working before Adobe, they will have a serious first-to-market advantage among Surface X users.

Just tried to download Revit on the 2020 release Microsoft Surface Pro X and it didn't work. I can't believe the highest end Surface available doesn't run it when my surface from 3 years ago did!!!!!!! Please Autodesk, help us out!!!!

I just purchased a Surface Pro X expecting the latest and greatest to last me several years. 

Had to return it the same day I got it due to no Fusion 360 or other 64 bit program compatibility.
