    Try file > New > Rig

    Then use "window" on the menu bar to shift between the rig and sail windows.

    I found alot of bugs, every time I change a dimension it would revert to the default values, but I have v1.3.0, maybe v1.3.1 is better

    I can shift between windows to see either the rig or the sails indivisually. But i think you can view all at the same time to study the slot etcetc.

    I cannot do that.

    It seems that there is the option to go file>new>boat and then add the different elements to that using the file>add command.

    EDIT : It looks like the help file is dated oct 2006, the view>rig function is how it worked in the old version(pre 1.3.0 i think). The old rig viewer was only able to view sails not the rig, hull ect. The new version looks much the same, but the fact that you can add rigs and a hull is nice.

    I'm still trying to figure this out too. I have the rig designed and I have the sails designed but for the life of me, I can't get them on the same screen, which would be REALLY nice. As far as I can tell I have the latest Saicut CAD download. Did you ever have any luck with this Fastwave?

    Thanks

    More Sailcut questions

    I have been trying to find and download the Sailcut spinnaker program with no success. Anyone have any advice? The SailcutCAD site is of no help at all!
