Run Autocad on MBP

[jamescwl]

There are Boot Camp and some virtualization softwares such as Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion. If using above applications to run Autocad on 64bit Windows 7, which one can have good performance? Does anyone can give me advice?


Thanks

There's a couple AutoCAD threads you might look through first.

I seem to recall Autodesk officially support running it through Parallels now. Its probably in one of those threads linked above.

I keep hearing rumours about them working on a Mac native version of AutoCAD or maybe even Inventor. This would be a dream come true (if I could get my boss to buy a Mac for work that is).

Yeah, they've been floating around for the better part of 4 years now.
