Are you going to buy a new Mac Pro, and if so, what would you use it for? Steve

I might.

It depends whether or not I find the performance of SolidWorks on my MacBook Pro running under Parallels adequate to my purposes.

1- did solidworks never release their announced os x version? 2- why not run one of the mac cad packages that have been trumpeted on here as being high end? ;D

Now bakr is in to 3d? What kind of the 3D, I'd like to know.

The plan is to do stuff for my own projects and make it pay by doing architectural drawings for general contractors (not actual design, mind, just the drawings).

And this is another perfect example of how the Mac needs Windows to be whole, so to speak.

Not really. I could choose to use AutoCAD. But I've tried SolidWorks and I like the interface.

BTW, the fact that AutoCAD has been released once again for the Mac platform probably says something that you're not willing to admit.
