Autodesk with VMWare?

My son is attempting to use Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 (Student Version) on a MacBook Pro running Windows XP through VMWare Fusion 4. But as soon as he starts drawing or adding shapes, it crashes. 

 

He has 3GB of RAM allocated to VMWare and 100GB of disk space.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks for your help!

From the Autodesk Inventor Requirements web-page:

 

Boot Camp
You can install Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software on a Mac® computer on a Windows partition. The system must use Apple Boot Camp® to manage a dual OS configuration and meet the minimum system requirements.

  • Mac OS® X 10.6.x
  • Boot Camp V 2.0 or higher
  • Intel-based Mac computer (64-bit Windows Vista requires an Intel Core™2 duo or Xeon processor)
  • 3 GB RAM (4 GB for 32-bit Windows OS recommended, 8 GB or more for 64-bit Windows OS recommended)
  • 20 GB disk space for Apple OS partition or Windows OS partition

Mac Virtualization on Parallels Desktop
Autodesk Inventor Professional can be used on the Mac via Parallels Desktop for Mac without having to boot directly into the Windows OS, so it is easy to switch between platforms. The system must meet the following requirements:  

  • Mac OS X 10.6.x
  • Parallels Desktop 7.0 (7.15054 or higher)
  • Intel based Mac (64-bit Windows Vista requires an Intel Core 2 duo or Xeon processor)
  • Minimum 4 GB RAM (6 GB system memory for 32-bit Windows OS, 8 GB or more for 64-bit Windows OS recommended)
  • Minimum 40 GB available disk space (100 GB recommended)

For more details, please read the Inventor for Mac FAQ.
