Cobalt Share v12 (build 1204.219) current Apple Silicon + Apple Intel

Cobalt Share opens, views, exports and prints. It has no import and no rendering — that is what the product is, not a limitation of this build.

Opens

  • Cobalt, Xenon and Argon files (.co, .xe, .ar)
  • Lithium files (.li)
  • older Vellum Solids files (.vs)

Runs on macOS 12 Monterey (2021) and everything since, including macOS 27 Golden Gate. We expect macOS 28, the next macOS, to be fine too. Nothing in Cobalt Share v12 (build 1204.219) depends on old Apple technology.

On macOS 12 Monterey we support its final release, 12.7.6; below 12.4 it will not start at all.

Apple Silicon support arrived in build 1204.200; 1204.219 is the build to be on.

Cobalt Share v12 (build 1204.98) earlier release Apple Intel + Apple Silicon via Rosetta 2

This is the last build on the earlier version of the 3D modeling kernel. The regressions some customers hit after build 1204.200 moved to a newer kernel were fixed by 1204.219, so 1204.98 is kept in reserve — a fallback in case a new regression appears that it does not share. It is also the build for a Mac stuck on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.14 Mojave, macOS 10.15 Catalina or macOS 11 Big Sur — one that cannot update to macOS 12 Monterey or later. Everyone else should be on build 1204.219.

Cobalt Share opens, views, exports and prints. It has no import and no rendering — that is what the product is, not a limitation of this build.

Opens

  • Cobalt, Xenon and Argon files (.co, .xe, .ar)
  • Lithium files (.li)
  • older Vellum Solids files (.vs)

Runs on macOS 10.14 Mojave (2018) and everything since, including macOS 27 Golden Gate. It does need Rosetta 2, Apple's translation layer, so macOS 28 — the next macOS, where Apple removes Rosetta 2 — is where it stops.

On macOS 10.14 Mojave we support its final release, 10.14.6; below 10.13 it will not start at all.

Available on request.

Graphite Share 27 coming soon Apple Silicon + Apple Intel

The free viewer for Graphite files. Opens, views, prints and exports — it does not edit.

Opens

  • Graphite files (.vc6)
  • older Vellum, Vellum 2D, Vellum 3D and Vellum Draft files (.vlm)

Runs on macOS 12 Monterey (2021) and everything since, including macOS 27 Golden Gate. We expect macOS 28, the next macOS, to be fine too. Nothing in Graphite Share 27 depends on old Apple technology.

On macOS 12 Monterey we support its final release, 12.7.6.

Ships alongside Graphite 27.

Native on Apple Silicon, which is what carries it past macOS 28 — see the compatibility checker.

Graphite Share v13 SE (build 13.0.86) current Apple Intel + Apple Silicon via Rosetta 2

The free viewer for Graphite files. Opens, views, prints and exports — it does not edit.

Opens

  • Graphite files (.vc6)
  • older Vellum, Vellum 2D, Vellum 3D and Vellum Draft files (.vlm)

Runs on macOS 10.15 Catalina (2019) and everything since, including macOS 27 Golden Gate. It may also run on macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave, but it is not officially supported there. It does need Rosetta 2, Apple's translation layer, so macOS 28 — the next macOS, where Apple removes Rosetta 2 — is where it stops.

On macOS 10.15 Catalina we support its final release, 10.15.7; below 10.13 it will not start at all.

Free download.

The same build as Graphite v13 SE — one build, one set of system requirements.
