Does anyone have any experience w/ SolidWorks on a mac - even on
Windows on a Mac?
I would like to know this as well. Also does anyone have contact
info at SolidWorks to send requests/suggestions. Their web site
seems to be a barrier to actual communication with the end user.
As I had indicated in a previous discussion on this list:
When Windows is running directly on Intel Mac hardware via Boot
Camp, there is NO caveat (any more than there are "caveats" when
it's running on hardware from Dell, HP, Gateway, or anything else).
It's the same as Windows running on any other Intel-based PC, except
this one just happens to be made by a company called Apple (and the
machine also happens to be able to run Mac OS X).
It's likely that nearly anything would also run in virtualization
software such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion, EXCEPT software
with specific requirements for hardware peripherals/dongles not
supported by the virtualization products, or software with specific
accelerated graphics requirements.
But under Boot Camp, there is no reason it wouldn't work, within the
constraints of the hardware itself meeting the actualy system
requirements of a particular product. In other words, if you have ANY
brand of PC, and the system requirements are met, there is no reason
that Windows on a Mac via Boot Camp will be any different...whether or
not a particular high-end graphics package is appropriate for
virtualization is another issue that may be one of technical
limitations and/or personal preference.
That said, it doesn't appear that anything but SolidWorks' eDrawings
software are available for Mac OS X.
