Running two screens and with 8GB RAM in a MacBook Pro it is no problem to have MAC on one screen and your Windows app on the other one, and switch between the two with a mouse click. No need for shut down/re-boot when changing from one o/s to the other. Its 2D only but appears to do DXF & DWG the way Autodesk intend, but at a fraction of the AutoCAD pricing.Įven better is to use Fusion (or Parallels) to have both MAC and Windows running simultaneously. I've installed both Windows 7 and Windows XP, but only very rarely have gone to the latter for anything at all. I'm liking my MAC, but just cant imagine surviving without the BootCamp option. Typically a Windows app is somewhat castrated in its MAC guise, compared to an app written for MAC in the first place. In general I find the best MAC solution is to run windows version (whatever you want) under BootCamp, then run the windows app. Ok, problem fixed by now by the sounds of it. All other programs open it properly, so this shows there is a problem with DraftSight's DXF parsing module or with the display module. It's incorrectly parsing the file my designer gave me. I wrote UniCAM, which became a Tecnomatix product, which then became a Seimens product.ĭraftSight has a parsing or display bug. I co-wrote the following CAD/CAM software when I was a C++ Developer: Circa 2000 or so.Īs an interesting aside, I have a former career in this general area, so I kind of know what's going on under the hood. The DXF files were generated by AutoCAD, though I suspect it was an older version of AutoCAD my designer used. SolidWorks opened it correctly as did a number of other independent programs that didn't have the features I needed to perform the work. It's a parsing error because all the other programs I tried parsed and then displayed the file correctly. I need to get these CAD files made up so a local printer can print them out.Ĭan anyone help in any way? Does anyone know how I can do this on OS X? Does anyone know if there is a place you can rent an AutoCAD workstation by the hour? I'm losing my mind here because this ate an entire day I should have been working on the boat. Solid Works eDrawings opens a beautiful file, but doesn't allow cropping or DXF or DWG saves. I spent 5 hours downloading it today.ĭraftSight, which runs on the computer and has all the right capabilities only shows a blank drawing when it opens the files. It aborts after a hardware check instead of allowing me to run it poorly but at least save the files. However, there are no programs that will work for this INCLUDING F'N AUTOCAD FOR MAC!!!!ĪutoCAD for Mac won't install on my admittedly improperly configured Mac, but this is BS. I need to open these files, turn on a single layer for one bulkhead, zoom in and crop, then save the file as DWG or DXF. ![]() I just spent 10 hours trying to get some *****NG AutoCAD files ready for a printer and I can't do it.īasically, I have some DWG and DXF files for my bulkheads.
