Solidworks on a Mac
Solidworks on a Mac
(OP)
Has anyone tried to run solidworks or other CAD programs on a new macbook that can run windows? Does it work? Does it work well?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Solidworks on a Mac
My neighbour is an IT manager for a company that has Solidworks seats. He is crazy about Apple products but tells me the process of running Windows software on a MAC is problematic.
The conversion process uses an interpreter which really slows down performance. Programs like Word and Excel work OK but Solidworks and Autocad run very slowly.
You would certainly want to try before you buy
AS far as I know Ashlar Vellum is the only 3D Modeller available for the MAC. The thought of Solidoworks 2007 on a big Apple cinema display, it almost makes me drool....

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.
