    Here you can find a list of the features of autocad for win unavailable on the mac version. Sadly there is also the Plot Styles Manager.

    http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=15833488&linkID=15839490

     

    Please everybody go here to fill the surveil about wich features you miss.

    The more people will says to use the Plot Styles Configuration daily, the more we can hope to see this feature on mac asap

    In my office, we don't plot in-house.  All of our plotting is to file and then sent to a reprographics outfit.  If we can't plot to file, preferably a pdf, the software is useless.

     

    I wouldn't mind using Parallels if it didn't require the use of an evil Microsoft product as well.

    The "Save as PDF" does not use your plot style. You need a plotter defined as PDF like Adobe.

     

    I also only use the Windoze side of my MAC to run AutoCAD and this release is very disappointing.

     

    Not new to AutoCAD, I've owned and used it since 1986.

    That 'other' thread is continuing and a user seems to disagree with your assessment.

    I also have problem with plot output with my autocad for Mac,the quality of PDF is not good at all and I can not find the option for changing or defining the line weights and color for printing!like monochrome setting in autocad in windows.

    I just install the first update which upload in autodesk website,its written that PDF output quality has been improved but I don't see any change.
