Hi

Is thread safe ACIS included in the "normal" ACIS libraries of R20 - or does it come as a separate build, extension, or other? In the R20 notes, one can find the following: "... All R20 versions of the ACIS product targeting Windows platforms are now thread-safe in the context defined by thread-safe ACIS (TS-ACIS) functionality....". I am not sure how to interpret "... in the context defined by thread-safe ACIS functionality." hence the question. Also, in the Developer's Desktop Winter 2008, Jeff Happoldt wrote: "... This new product, recently announced and demonstrated at the Insiders Summit, is an extension of ACIS...". I don't think I've found any recent documentation referring to TS ACIS as an extension. Could you please clarify this?

Does TS-ACIS come at an additional cost?

When upgrading from R19 to R20, and assuming the application does not make use of the new thread-safe ACIS functionality, are there any application code changes required for the upgrade, because of TS-ACIS? (Obviously this question is relevant if TS ACIS is indeed included in the R20 libs as standard.)

Many thanks

Hi madmortigan,

As of R20 Thread Safe ACIS is part of the standard ACIS release.  If you are upgrading from R19 to R20 and your app does not use TS-ACIS, you don't need to make any code changes outside of any normal porting that might need to be done.  If your app would like to leverage TS-ACIS, then you will need to write some new code and you can get started by taking a look at this document: http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/Thread-Safe_ACIS

Thanks,

Robert
