Mac Cad Use - NOT windows

Hi,
I'm looking for a CAD program for my Mac. NOT the windows for the parallel - too many problems with Parallels. Does anyone have something that hasn't cost an arm and leg?
Thanks!

Search for "cad" at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. There are quite a few available, but I don't recall if any are freeware.

    Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
    After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
    Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

  • Mac's using a Windows Print Server

    I am an administrator for a dual-platform school district (elementary and middle schools). We run both AD & OD, and all of our Mac's are bound to both AD & OD. Our users authenticate to Active Directory. My issue is printing from our Mac's (MacBooks to be precise). Currently, all of our PC's are printing to a Windows Print Server (Server 2003). When setting up printing on our Mac's, we use IP printing. We use IP printing because when we attempt to install printers via Windows printing, it requires authentication when printing (which I don't understand, since the users is already authenticated to the domain). The real issue is this. Because our Mac's use IP printing, the print queue is local to the machine. So, if anything impedes the print job, it pauses the printer, and in our environment, the only way to un-pause the printer and the local print queue is to log in as the local admin, clear the queue, and un-pause the printer. This is a PITA. I need to find a stable printing environment for our Mac's, and I would prefer to use our existing Windows Print Server.
    Does anyone have any experience in having Mac's print to a Windows Print Server, without having the authentication issue?? I have heard of third-party products such as PaperCut, but I really don't think that's necessary for what we are trying to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I am running a very similar setup to what you are trying to do. Mine is OD and the windows server (2003 64bit) is bound to the OD.
    My users on both Mac and Windows are printing to and through the windows server, so this way I see and can control everything in the print queues.
    I will try and help you setup.
    Firstly are the printers installed and shared out on your windows server?
    If that is done logon to your windows print server and then logon to *local security policy*. Under *Security Settings* go *Security Options* and look for “*Network security: LAN Manager authentication level*” and changed it to “*Send LM & NTLM responses*”.
    Okay it all and log off your server.
    Now goto a Mac client you want to print from.
    Go the usual way of adding the printer on a Mac but this time do not use IP printing choose windows instead then select your domain in the list. You will then see all the servers on your network now select the print server in the list. If you have shared the printers out when you installed them on the print server you will see the list of printer installed on that server.
    Select the printer you would like to install at this point it may asked you for the user name and password, use the network name and password of the user that will be using that machine and tick to remember password. Because it’s coming from a windows server it will not auto select the correct driver for you. You need to select the correct driver for yourself then click add if you have any extra trays etc you need to manually select them too.
    The printer will be added, the first time you goto print on this printer it will ask you for password again click to remember password.
    Repeat the installation for all the printers you need to add and don’t forget to make a print after each install so you can add the remember tick on the first print.
    If you are using something like keyminder on the mac’s then when the password changes from AD or OD the keychain will automatically be updated by keyminder. If you are running Snow Leopard you do not need keyminder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can connect to Mac users, but not Windows.

    I have been able to connect to other Mac users signed onto AIM accounts in iChat, but not Windows users signed onto AIM. Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, as I am at college and away from all my loved ones, and desperately want to chat with them.

    Hi,
    I am sorry that only 2 hours and 15 minutes left you disappointed.
    Some things to consider.
    1) they have to be on XP.
    2) they have to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro
    3) if they use AIM 5.9 they have to Tune the Camera and Mic to the Application. See message 570 in that link (Access to these preferences in in the My AIM menu now or use F3)
    4) Whichever App they use it has to be Enabled through the XP firewall. IF at Service Pack 2 they need these instructions an earlier version of XP has to have the Firewall disabled.
    Longer version http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html
    Detailed version
    http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
    The ports that iChat uses have to be opened at your end although it sounds like they are.
    The port for AIM/Trillian have to opened in their modem at their end.

  • SLI for Mac Pro using Vista/Windows 7

    I am thinking about using 2 NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 for one display. I primarly use windows for the 3d design aplication that only work for windows (all autodesk products).
    If i use 2 will this give me a boost in proformance? Do i use SLI or will it combine the 2 card on its own? what about corssfire?
    I have heard both....
    SLI works while running vista in mac pro.
    SLI is not at all supported.
    thanks
    Message was edited by: luc_33

    well i have found the answer, suprising hard to find. No SLI support for any cards only crossfire for the ATI Radeon. Don't know why apple disabled this ability to their motherboard but oh well just as well buy a nicer more expensive graphics card just like i got a nicer more expensive mac computer.

  • Blue screen of death, crash broke Mac OS but not Windows?

    I was just working on installing Fallout on my bootcamp partition of Windows 7. There was a corrupted file that gave me the blue screen crash, and I had to reload windows into safe mode to get it to quit crashing on me. After I had my fun, I needed to go back on my Mavericks side. I clicked the boot camp icon, and just have it the instructions to reboot into the Mac OS. Now it won't load, after the computer restart, I get the grey apple symbol and then a progress bar on the bottom. I wait for the progress bar to do its thing, and as soon as it hits full (~20min) the computer just shuts off. Does anyone have any experience with this? I haven't seen that progress bar in any other Mac OS 10.X. I am also unable to get it to load into safe mode on the Mac side either. Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, I have seen that. I am looking for a way to at least save some information while I am at it. I checked out disc utility, it shows that my Mac partition is there, but it is greyed out. When I try to verify/repair it, it says that it can't do it. If I try to restore it to a secondary harddrive, it doesn't work either. Not from disc utility.
    I loaded up my windows side, and downloaded Macrium, which is a disc copier. I formatted my secondary hardrive after taking the movies off of it, to FAT32 so I could still read/write from the Windows side. Interestingly enough, the cloner, Macrium, is perfectly capable of accessing my Mac OS partition. Another something interesting is that while I had it copying over my Mac OS partition onto my secondary HDD, I accidently cancelled it while trying to wake my computer up. I went back into disc utility to format that harddrive again to try again, but when it was formatting it, it said it could not unmount my copied files that were from my Mac OS partition onto the secondary harddrive. Does this mean that there is just something wrong with the file system itself? Does anyone know what might cause this? I just don't want to be given a link to erase everything, it isn't helpful at all.

    Yes.

  • Using my Windows iPod on a Mac

    I own a windows-formatted 30GB iPod Photo (4th gen ipod).
    The ipod itself works without any problems. If I attach it to my Windows machine, the iPod is recognized by itunes and syncs my library without problems.
    I want to start syncing the ipod with my mac instead of my windows machine. Everything I have read claims one of the following:
    1) A Mac can use a Windows formatted ipod without problems
    2) The ipod needs to be reformatted for the Mac.
    I am fine with either of these. I have the music backed up on an external hard drive and don't need to use the ipod with windows anymore, so reformatting the ipod for mac would not be a problem for me if necessary.
    The problem is that when I attach the iPod to my Mac (a macbook air running Leopard), iTunes does not give any indication that it sees the ipod. The ipod itself displays "do not disconnect" on the screen and seems to be charging as it should be; I am confident that the USB port and cable are fine. However, iTunes does not list the ipod as a device or give any indication that it is connected.
    In order to reformat it for the mac, I need to use Restore functionality within iTunes (right?), but I can't do that if itunes doesn't list my ipod. What do I do?

    Wow! That is crazy. I've been using a Windows formatted iPod on my Mac for many years without a problem. But just recently, I have the same problem as the original poster. Sometimes I connect my iPod to my Mac and it does not mount. Rather, the iPod acts as if I plugged it into a wall powered USB cable. It charges, but does not mount. No sign of the iPod on the Mac. If I unplug it and try again (and maybe a 3rd time), the iPod finally mounts.
    Is this a sign that my iPod is dying? I hope not, because it is a 160 gig version and I love having that much space.

  • I would like to download CC desktop for mac using a Windows PC

    If they do not sell them in your countries itunes store, then you cannot buy them.

  • I want to use my windows mobile phone as a modem connected to the usb port of mac AERO...But does not work, no reaction

    can anibody help?

    First of all, are you using a Windows Phone (windows phone 7 or 7.5) or a Windows Mobile (6.1, 6.5) phone?
    Windows Mobile phones are generally not compatible with macs for USB internet tethering. They do work OK by sharing via Bluetooth or Wifi.

  • Late 2013 iMac 27".  Used boot camp and installed windows 7 pro.  While in Windows 7, in my pc the mac os does not show.  Is there anyway to fix this outside of restoring entire computer and trying again.  Thank you from a mac newbie

    Hello.  I bought a new iMac 27" with the following specs:
    3.5GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core (Haswell)
    32GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
    3TB Fusion Drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M Graphics (4GB)
    27" LED-Backlit IPS Display
    2560 x 1440 Native Resolution
    802.11ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
    Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, SDXC Card Reader
    720p FaceTime HD Camera, Dual Mics
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64-bit)
    After installing all Mac update, used Bootcamp to create a Windows 7 drive.  Everything went fine to a point.  While in my Mac OS i can see the windows partition just fine and see/edit documents.  However, when in the Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I cannot see the mac os in my computer at all. 
    Can someone please help this mac owner newbie?  This process worked fine on my mac mini and i have no troubles.  It is just on my new iMac that it wont work/show the highlighted paragraph above
    Any ideas and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I understand that much.  On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS.  This is NOT the case on my iMac.  Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way.  When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network.  The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar.  Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way..  When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have).  This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.
