CIVIL CAD 3D 2012 and iMac 27"

[parsecrider]

Will CIVIL CAD 3D 2012 run well with Win 7 bootcamped on the iMac spec'd in attachment ?  

Thanks for any counsel/comment

Civil 3D is not supported on Mac.
This mean it has not been extensively tested and product support won't be able to help in case of issue.  
(That being said it should run fine on this machine specs and some users do run it in bootcamp without issues.)

For your information, here is a list of the Autodesk supported apps on Mac

Thanks Nicholas

Realized Mac not supported, but was interested if the proposed arrangement would work.  I will try to find CIVIL CAD 3D users running on iMacs for their experiences/comments/cautions.   Any search suggestions?

Again Thanks

Thats why he said bootcamped.

I run win7 32 bit on my mbp 17" and for a long time it was better than a lot of the dell precision workstations... so yes, it'll fly.

Appreciate your response.    Now to the Apple store and minutiae...ports, cabling, interfaces, comm with existing peripherals and binary software.   Never used a mac...ought to be interesting learning curve 

Thx

I run Parallels desktop (Windows 7 virtual machine) on my macbook pro and run C3D 2012 and 2014 on that and it runs well
