Punch! Home Design Studio Pro for the MAC

Hi, I apologize if this post is in the wrong place, but it's the only place I could find to post it: Has anyone used the new "Punch! Home Design Studio Pro for the MAC". I understand it's more in-depth than Punch! Home Design Studio. My wife and I are looking to design our own home, or at least get the general wants and needs down before going to an architect and this program was recommended to me by another Mac user (although he actually never used the program). Any insight would be greatly appreciated into the Punch program or any other home design program for the Mac that may be available.
Thanks!

Punch Home Design Studio

I received an early Christmas present from my son and daughter in law, the subject Punch Home Design Studio software. I have been wishing for a low end cad package and this is what they came up with.
Before I break the seal and make it non-returnable, does anyone have experience with this package? Will it do what I want which is simple floor plans and layouts.
I should mention that this is a newly released package for Mac Universal so no need to operate in Windows.
Thank you for any advice

Should i wait with buying a macbook pro for the mac os x lion software?

Hi there,
I've been saving up some money to buy myself a MacBook Pro 13", but I've been told to wait for the new lion upgrade.
It's not that I need the macbook right now, I mean, I can wait, but I don't want to wait for a system that's not refined yet.
I'm afraid the system might have bugs or issues or things...
So my question: should I wait till June/July with buying, or buy one now and have a good working system?
And do any of you guys know whether there'll be some kind of a grace period where they give you the new upgrade for free?
Thanks in advance!

My take is to buy it when you need it. If that's now then buy it now. You can always upgrade to Lion when it comes out.

Downloaded Home Design Studio 15 and it won't open

I've downloaded Home Design Studio 15 from the App Store. It shows up as installed in my purchases in the App Store and in my Applications folder, but when I tried to open it, it flashes briefly on the dock and then disappears. The icon was on the dock when it first downloaded but it only bounced a few times before stopping. I've tried restarting my computer, opening it from the Application menu, looking in the content packages, but I don't know what to do. Should I get a refund and try download again or is there another solution?

Hi Lyle...
What you need to do is contact the developer > http://support.encore.com/
While you are waiting to hear back, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo may help.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try launcing the HDS app.
Apple's refund policy states, "All sales and rentals of products are final." iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
But considering the price of the app, I don't think asking for a refund is out of line. At least try > Mac App Store - Contact Support

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard for the Mac?

Okay, I apologize for what may appear to be a frightfully stupid question, but is there an Acrobat 9 Standard for the Macintosh? There appears to be support files and such for Adobe 9 Pro for the Mac available, but whenever I search for the Adobe 9 Standard, all I can seem to come up with is the Windows version...?
If not, and if for some unknown reason, they aren't updating the two version numbers in sync with each other, what's the most recent version of Acrobat Standard for the Mac? Or will I be stuck with 9 Pro as my only option, and end up having to pay for the additional features I don't need?

Honestly, if you are creating a PDF, say in a Business setting, to go on a website. Except when it specifically meant to go to a Printer. Do you need the Print Press Stuff??
More bang for the Buck would create a Version For Print press industry.
Then Have then the pro version have the PDF forms Creation stuff that available in PC only now.
The feature set that was in Acrobat 5 is a much better fit. If someone need Print Press features sell it as a $50.00-100.00 add-on.
There are some features related to Print press I never have used. But I got them because I needed forms creation for the Web.

Punch! Home Design Studio videos? tutorials? demo/trial?

hey guys
i've been looking for a good architecture practice and design program for my new MacBook and came across Punch! Home Design Studio. http://www.punchsoftware.com/products/mac.htm#
it seems like a pretty good program but i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find a demo or trial for it or if there are any videos or tutorial videos out there showing it off?
also if anyone has used it before feel free to voice your opinion of the application..
thanks!

Hi Ron and welcome to our community
If Captivate fails to record in full motion (which can happen
because of an incompatibility between it and your other
application) you may need to use other software. Perhaps try Fraps.
(It's often used to capture video games being played).

You should also report this to Adobe as a possible bug. You
may do this by

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive. If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice. If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice. As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:

A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
$130
A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

I also tried an HDMI cable and had the same issue.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

Where can I find one of those silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea?

Where can I find one of those soft silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea since Apple no longer makes them? I-phones use them now.

Personally I use the Speck hard case on both of my MacBooks and they are the greates! Look around on Amazon and eBay and you can find them for $30-40. I wouldn't really recomend a silicon case for a macbook, but it's your preference.

Are there any apple stickers for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy them

Are there any apple stickers e.g the bart simpson on the computer eating the apple for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy one

I'm not sure where on the internet or which store you mean -- but if you mean an Apple advertisement on the internet and an Apple Store, note that there was an ad for MacBooks that showed them with a variety of stickers but Apple does't sell the stickers and not all of the ones shown in the ad were commercially available.

I am using acrobat Pro 9 for the Mac OS. I recently created a form and sent it to several individual. They filled the form out with acrobat reader and said that they were unable to save the information, therefor unable to send it back to me. What can I do to address this problem?

You didn't forget to Advanced menu and set Reader Rights.Once you do that then, they can save and send back to you.

Best graphics card for the MAC Pro 4,1

I am using the 4870 card, but, is there a better graphics card for doing photography with Adobe CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3?
Thank you.

While recently discontinued, you can probably get your hands on an nVidia GTX 285 fairly easily. It's not only faster than your Radeon HD4870, it has double the video memory, and more importantly it's on the shortlist of cards that are support hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe CS5. That's a HUGE feature, if you use Premiere or After Effects, it's probably worth the price of admission right there. I've got one in my machine, works wonders. Aside from a zippy system, lots of basic stuff that used to have to be rendered in order to preview no longer require it.
The nVidia Quadro FX 4800 is also a bigger/faster card, and provides even more powerful support for the Mercury Playback Engine in CS5, but it's also vastly more expensive. As I type this the price is $1799 at Apple, and $1399 most everywhere else (Apple store managers, if you're seeing this you might want to check for a price drop).
That's the current max, but it's possible that new graphics cards are right around the corner. In the spring nVidia introduced their next generation of GPU, there are a range of new GTX 4xx series cards on the mainstream line, and just last week new Quadro cards were launched for the high end. Adobe does not support either of them for CS5's Mercury Playback Engine hardware acceleration at this moment, but Adobe employees have said that it's coming in an update soon.
It's also likely that the ATI Radeon HD 5770 & Radeon HD 5870 will be released for the Mac. My understanding is that the 5770 performance is on par with your HD 4870, and the 5870 will blow it away. Both the new ATI cards also boast two mini displayport plugs as well as a DVI out. Neither card is likely going to get support for hardware acceleration in CS5 anytime soon (not really Adobe's fault, ATI are still in their infancy on the high performance/OpenCL front compared to nVidia).
My advice, if you need something now, chase down a GTX 285 and you won't be disappointed (especially in CS5). Otherwise, you may want to wait it out and jump on the next generation if/when it becomes available.
Hope that helps!
