3d workspace issues

3d workspace issues

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi, I have tested revit and I hated switching between bootcamp and mac OS. Since I'm familiar with Autocad LT, I thought that I would prefer the full Autocad 3D for mac. I downloaded the trial version and I'm frustrated.

Where the heck is the 3d modelling workspace?

 

There is supposed to be an option for workspace switching and there is none. I have a modelling toolset but that's it.

I saw in several tutorial videos that there is supposed to be a small +icon next to the "cogwheel" in bottom toolbar but I don't have one. Can someone help me?

 

I need to draw furniture and architectural plans but I got a disastrous start. I have worked with Archicad for some 15 years ago and I wonder if someone works here with both softwares?

 

Thanks!

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

 

Hi @Anonymous ,

AutoCAD for Mac has its own user interface and there is no "workspaces" in it as in AutoCAD for Windows, but everything for 3D is at hand.

You can use dropdown menus (mostly menu Draw and Modify), Tool Sets palette (Modelling tab), buttons on the Toolbar for drafting in 3D.

You can customise Tool sets palette with CUI command and add to it commands you need for 3D drafting.

In the end, you always have a command line at hand, in which you can type any commands, including those for 3D drafting.

Better options than freeware Bootcamp exist https://wethegeek.com/5-best-alternative-to-boot-camp/

Otherwise... when searching for tutorials you ALWAYS wans to ensure they are aimed at MAC users using the MAC version of AutoCAD, you folks are in the minority so choices are few and far between online.

Thanks guys, I'll continue to figure out whether the software is right for me...

Right now it feels like a semi compromise if you stick to Mac version.
