In my most recent project I have had to use Inventor instead.Ī: Should you chose to quote me, would you mind making sure my name is spelled correctly? Since the telecom collapse, I have worked in biotech, where SolidWorks has helped me design widgets for experimental setups. Q: Can you give me some background info on who you are?Ī: I am a physicist who has worked in the telecom components industry, where I picked up SolidWorks. Inventor, by the way, comes close to SolidWorks, but is less intuitive. SolidWorks opened up the world of 3D CAD to me, and I couldn’t imagine doing what I do with CAD in 2D. I couldn’t care less, unless it meant that they would bring Inventor to the Mac OS as well. Q: Have you heard that Autodesk is currently running a survey to find out people’s interest in AutoCAD on Mac?Ī: No. Q: Were you surprised by the number of signatures collected?Ī: I hadn’t looked at the number until you brought it up in many years. SolidWorks on Mac OS X would be even more desirable today. Since then the OS has been greatly improved and hardware has become so much faster, too. I was so impressed with the ease with which I was able to just pick up and run with SolidWorks that I imagined and wished for a version that would run on Apple’s Operating System. I was just getting started with SolidWorks. Question: When did you launch the petition? What prompted you to launch it?Īnswer: I think it was in 1999.
Hoffmann was kind enough to spare a few minutes to respond to my inquiry, so here’s our exchange (edited for length and clarity): With 4,479 signatures on record (so far), his online plea represents a small but vocal segment of the CAD users flirting with the idea of migrating to Mac.
SOLIDWORKS FOR MAC FOR MAC
Through the help of Google and Facebook, I managed to track down Dominik Hoffmann, the man who first launched t he SolidWorks for Mac petition.
