Hi,

I don't have a Mac, I don't have experience with Parallels, but whenever I see Intel HD (and quite old 4000) I even would not try to run software like Inventor on a native Windows system with a HD4000. Processor and memory are ok for small to middle projects.

You might download and install a trial release and see how it does, I guess that's the best you can do.

Good luck, - alfred -
