It’s a comprehensive 3D CAD development tool that works only on the Windows platform, in both 32 and 64 bit modes. This 3D CAD tool is available at no charge from RS, so long as you register an account with their system. Switch to a different browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari on Mac) to run the Java plug-in." Anyway, that's an incidental matter. RS announced the availability of a new version of DesignSpark Mechanical.
My preferred browser is actually Google Chrome, but when I try to "Verify Java Version" in Chrome I get the message: "The Chrome browser does not support NPAPI plug-ins and therefore will not run all Java content. Windows 8.1 Control Panel shows Java 8 Update 60 as the only Java installed. In the process of installing that version, I had uninstalled the older Java 8 Update 31. Running "Verify Java Version" in Internet Explorer confirms that "You have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 60)".
Then I get the popup message "This feature requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and for Java to be enabled on your system. In the exercise "Importing and Working with 3D Models", I get to the point where I have selected a part from the library and now I am to click on the option "Insert in my Design now".
I'm working my way through the Getting Started examples that appear in the right-hand column when DesignSpark is started up. In short, my DesignSpark installation seems to think Java is not installed. This really should go in the DesignSpark support forum, and I have posted it there, but I've noted that very few posts get a response over there, so I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction.
