KWiKPrints 32_64 Re Released

I apologize for having to pull KWiKPrints, but some last minute changes gave me some install problems. Hopefully it is all fixed now. If you do have any issues installing, try right clicking on the install program and select Run as Administrator.

You can find the current version here.

If you had tried it before and now your 30 days has expired, contact me and I will try to get you more time to test with.

Thanks to everyone for their support.

KWiKPrints32_64 Installation Issues

I have pulled KWiKPrints32_64 until I can track down a installation issue that has been reported. I apologize if you downloaded it and weren't able to get it to load. I will add it back as soon as I can figure out what is causing the problem.

64 bit (finally)
KWiKPrints32_64
KWiKInsertNFix_64
KWiKSert_64

I think I am finally to the point where I can release these three 64 bit addins.

A few notes.

1. The time it is taking to maintain and upgrade these addins has gotten to be to much to continue to give them away for free. I wish I could but it has just gotten to the point where I don't have the free time like I used to. Even at the price I am charging, I doubt I will clear more than a couple bucks per hour of time invested.

2. Please, Please, test the programs until you are sure it works for your needs before considering purchasing it. All three programs will run for 30 days before they time out. If you run into bugs let me know and I will do what I can to look into them, but don't buy it and then expect bug fixes right away. That isn't to say that I won't look into issues after you buy, but I can't guarantee fixes, speedy or not.

3. These programs will install and run on 32 bit machines but the changes between the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version are minor enough that it probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade especially since the 32 bit version is still free.

4. If you have purchased KWiKPrints32 in the last 6 months, contact me, and I will allow you to upgrade to the 64 bit version for the difference in price between the two.

You can find them here

• Kent, Thank you very much for your update. I think more and more people will be switching to 64 bit OS to take advantage of higher memory allowance.
  
  you rock!
  
  thanks again

iCHECK by INCAT

I have been testing out a program made by INCAT called iCHECK. It is one of those programs that the more you look into it the deeper it gets. iCHECK is a quality checker. What is a quality checker? ... well I suggest you watch the video at INCAT's site for starters. You can set it up to check and report compliance with all kinds of things that your company may have as a standard. It seems like almost everything you could imagine is available to set up in the iCHECK Administration dialog. Everything from fully constrained sketches, to checking to make sure there is at least one part grounded in an assembly, to checking to make sure all the required iProperties are filled out in a drawing.

Check out the video and give the free trial a spin. I give it two thumbs up for both big and small one man company's.

64 Bit and KWiK Addins

I have been getting quite a few emails about 64 bit systems and my Addins. Unfortunately it is my understanding that all Addins need to be recompiled on a 64 bit system. There may be more to it than that, I am not real sure at this point.

I don't currently have access to a 64 bit system to make the updates, and I don't have any plans to get a new system anytime soon..... Unless someone wants to give me one ;~))

If anything changes I will post here to let you know.

Sorry, wish I could update them all.

• Hi I can't stand inventor without kwiksert, I hope someone can help you out.
  we can let you use one.

• I think the only thing you need to do, to make a 64bit version, is to make a setup program where you register the dll with the 64bit version of regasm.exe. That is if you have compiled the dll with the option “anyCPU” under “project>Properties>Compile>Advanced Compile Options” in Visual Studio.

• Would it be possible to obtain the source code so that we may try to get the KWiK add-ins back?
  We used Kwik Print and created simple prints with it. We no longer have this option and it has
  was the only way we could creat .plt files as well which has brought our automation to a stop.
  I hope you can get this solved ASAP.

• Hi Luke
  
  Sorry, I am working on these as fast as time allows. I really am close, and hope to have something soon. At this point I will not sell my source code. Sorry.

• Hey Kent.
  
  Why AutoDESK doesnt purchase this Addin from you is beyond me. I switched our computers to 64 bit for speed and memory and now users want to go back to 32 bit due to the fact they lose Kwiksert. If there is anything I can do to help you progress the 64 bit application please dont hesitate.

• Hey chode, or whoever wrote Kwiksert. Hurry up with the damn 64-bit version! I just got fired from my job because it took me 6 extra hours to insert screws on my assembly. Just put your damn source code up so people can change it. Now the Chinese are taking over our company because it's too damn slow because it's not 64 bit compatible. Thanks for getting us all addicted to this little tiny add-on that can't even be used anymore.

• Kent,
  
  Your KWiK addins certainly are of benefit to many users. My team as well is effected by the loss in x64. There are many of us out there who appreciate what you do so don't get discouraged by the negative post. We hope something can be done to get your programs up and running but understand if it doesn't happen.
  
  Regards,
  
  Kevin
