One of my fellow Geeks who has been Beta testing AutoCAD for Mac revealed that, whilst many of the AutoCAD for Windows standard tools have been worked on, only those that are most stable have found their way into the release product, so I guess that we can see some of these missing features come in in later releases. AutoCAD for Mac does have a CUI editor and an equivalent to the Design Centre. Some of the notable exceptions are no Sheet set manager and no tool palettes.

The underlying CAD engine is the same, but they’ve had to re-write the interface using ‘Cocoa’ – the application development language for the Mac.įor this reason not everything in the Windows version of Autocad has been ported over to the Mac.

In this interview with the AutoCAD for Mac development team, Deelip Menezes discovered that Autodesk have had to split the code in two to bring AutoCAD to the Mac platform. Native DWG Support.ĪutoCAD for Mac writes native DWG files, so you can open drawings up in AutoCAD for Windows with no translation problems. If you’ve never used AutoCAD, learning Autocad on the Mac would not inhibit you from using AutoCAD on Windows. Whilst the interface looks different to the Windows version, the standard elements are all there (Command line, Layer manager e.t.c) I think that if you were coming from the Windows version of AutoCAD you would quickly find your way around. I looked briefly at the plotting and page setup dialogs and typed a few Lisp commands to see what was working (no VLIDE – I guess that was too hopeful!). I haven’t used a Mac in years (see my previous post about AutoCAD for the Mac) but with a bit of fumbling around with the unfamiliar keyboard and track pad I managed to sketch out some polylines and apply a few constraints.

My first impression was that AutoCAD for Mac is a really stylish and good looking product, it will definitely appeal to Mac users from this standpoint. Shaan was demoing AutoCAD for Mac as well as AutoCAD WS on his iPhone (His iPad wouldn’t connect to the Starbucks WiFi, we won’t hold that against him!). Unfortunately I was late, but I caught up with the rest of the Geeks at Starbucks in Covent garden. You can contact him via his blog if you want to rock up.

If you are interested Shaan is having another open session tonight (15th Sept 2010) at the Autodesk office in London. Note: The Mac system must use Boot Camp or Parallels to manage the Windows partition and meet the minimum system requirements.Shaan Hurley was in London this week, and he put out an open invitation to anyone who wanted to see Autocad running on the Mac. Inventor runs on a Mac in either a Boot Camp or Parallels Windows Environments.

Windows Remote Desktop, Citrix, etc.) you could use remote access software to use Inventor on the remote system, while working through your Macintosh.

Remote Access: If you have access to another Windows system (e.g.

Note: There is some overhead in virtualizing the hardware, so performance on a VM will generally be reduced compared to running directly on the hardware.

Virtual Machine: Using virtualization software ( Parallels / VMWare) you can create a virtual hardware environment which Windows, and Inventor are installed into.

Bootcamp: This allows you to boot your system into a Windows operating system, and take full advantage of the hardware.

While Inventor does not currently have a native Macintosh version, there are still a few options that will allow you to use Inventor when working with a Macintosh system:
