AutoCAD 2008

[#1]

Are you still working with Apple for building an AutoCAD for Mac OS X (Leopard)? or you desisted?

I know, we're few users around world and we don't share the same technologies between Windows and Mac OS X. But, note that Mac OS X has more technologies and innovations in its operative system than Windows. Thus, an AutoCAD released on a Mac should be better than on a Windows OS. Give an opportunity to the mac (users).

Thanks in advance.

Who are you talking to. This is a user group. We only *use* AutoCAD.

Semi-Annual Apple/MAC posting that ends up being nothing more than a
pro-Apple everything else post.

Now wait and see: you'll get the guys that already do this in emulation, oh
how wonderful it is, the guys that are staunch Windows users and someone will mention Apple already enjoys a cluster of CAD
apps that are wonderful in of themselves (will fall on deaf ears), you'll
get the college guy that fell for the commercials, then the small business
owner that just got one for his kid "who never has problems" and wonders
what's stopping him from doing it too.

Wish I could find last time's link, save us all from the reruns LOL

Oh, I forgot, the one Linux guy will chime in too )

I do enjoy the quasi-regular postings about how someone bought a mac,
for use with autocad, bought autocad, and are NOW baffled as to why they
can't find mac OS as one of the supported OS's listed on the AutoCAD
product page.

That said, obviously I've seen a few well-equipped dorks out at AU using
the emulation. Whatever floats anyone's boat. :-)

Not likely. Mostly users here, as designed for. Sometimes we get a few visitations, though. Still, if you *really* want a CAD app for OS X, go out and make one yourself - we'll wait for it. Honest.

Since you put it that way, I'm sure Autodesk will get right on it this
afternoon.

Is this guy for real? Steve Jobs should be a politician. He's conned
people for so long that they can't even recognize the truth when they
see it with their own eyes.

Why would he take such a pay cut?

You forgot the guy that tried it but it crashed too often that will be told
he must have done something wrong by the Mac fanatics.
