![]() ![]() ![]() I have been using a CAD program on Windows platforms, '98 through Xp, for 13 years and I do not suffer from crashes of my CAD sessions, so I'm not sure that CAD and Windows are the culprit. I, too, have several Windows machines that I need to replace. Let me know if it works, please, since my Mac (at home) is an older machine, but I have plans to buy MacBook Pro and would like to know if it works. You can download a free trial from either one of them and see if it works or not. I've checked their website and they say AutoCAD should run. Crossover is similar to the WINE solution for Linux in which Windows apps do not require Windows OS to run. One is Crossover from and the other is Parallels Desktop from. There are two applications that will do this without rebooting your machine that I know of. The other problem is, I have AoutCAD on all day long, so if I wanted to use the computer for something else, I would have to save everything and shut off CAD and, as you said, reboot. With boot camp, you have these same problems on the Windows side. In Windows, programs integrate themselves into the kernel when you install them, which is why, if you have too many of the wrong programs running at once, it crashes. What makes a Mac so great is that their OS, what they call a kernel, is separate from the programs, which is why it is nearly impossible to crash. The problem with it is that it is an exact copy of Windows, faults and all. ![]() All that is required is to log on and off between the two operating systems. Aside from Quickbooks and internet access, I don't really use it for anything else. I really want to replace our Windows based computers with Apple, but if I can't draft in them, then there isn't much point. I use AutoCAD and I called AutoDesk today, and they wouldn't tell me if they plan on re-releasing CAD in a Mac format. I was wondering if there is any new drafting software available for Mac. ![]()
