snoCAD-X is the latest version of snoCAD - the third incarnation of our snowboard and ski design tool.
snoCAD-X features an interactive interface allowing you to drag parts of the board geometry around, includes a core shaping tool, and the ability to assemble your graphics on the board.
snoCAD-X is a Java Web Start application and as such should run on any platform. On all platforms you need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6 or higher.
The Mac OS X now also supports version 1.6 so you could try the windows link - if it fails then try upgrading your JRE to 1.6.
When you download snoCAD-X from the links on this page, Java Web Start should ensure you have the latest JRE installed.
Download version for JRE 1.6 (all platforms including newer Macs)
Download version for JRE 1.5 (older Mac)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Right click the relevant link for your platform on the image above. Choose "Save Target As..." and save the .JNLP file to your desktop. Double click on this saved file, and the installation will begin automatically.
If you have downloaded the JNLP file and double clicked it, but all you get is a bunch of gibberish XML data, you most likely don`t have the required Java Runtime Environment
Do not despair ! You can download it using the link below...
