Drawing feature on Mac?

[Anonymous]

Will the capability to make 2d drawings be available on Macs soon?

Thanks!

Yes, we expect it later this summer. Bringing the whole world of manufacturing to the OS X community requires a bottom up investment to change what has been a windows focused world to a multi platform world. Since so many of these technologies were Windows first, getting to a base level of performance and quality on Windows is just faster. It does not mean we are not committed to Macs. We don't believe in having different product capabilities on the two desktop platforms. We do release the Windows previews first so we can learn from customers and have them influence direction as early as possible. I hope our reasons make sense to you.

Thanks for the explanation, it's good to hear the reasons and to know that their is a lot of effort being put into both platforms. I look forward to the new features.
Thanks!

@cekuhnen  I thought I'd follow up with you and let you know that the Drawings Tech Preview is now available on Mac (note that it is not available for Mac AppStore installs yet, but only for installs from our webpage fusion360.autodesk.com for the time being). Have a play with it and let us know your thoughts.

Best,

Looks OK crashed fee times on my Mac web download.

When did it crash? On launch or during an operation? If you're not already, be sure to add your email address to the CER reports, that way we can dig in and take a look at what's causing the crashes.

Thanks!

Downloaded the Mac Fusion 360 Ultimate trial version from the App store then your URL and do not see the Drawing feature in either. Is the function live and functioning now? Where do I find it and does it work like the video tutorial "Introduction to Drawings"?

Just figured it out. It was the file icon drop down list instead of the Toolbox icon shown in the video demo.
