Software :: AudoCAD Appears Headed Back To The Mac
May 22, 2010
After an 18 year hiatus, AutoCAD appears to be headed back to the Mac platform, according to screen shots of a new beta posted on an Italian Mac forum.
The screen shots, appearing on Italiamac depict the installation screens and interface for an upcoming Autodesk AutoCAD 64-bit early beta release for Mac OS X called "Sledgehammer."
The last time Autodesk's AutoCAD drafting software was made available for the Mac was in 1992, with Release 12. The current 2011 version, available only for Windows, is designated Release 25.
Earlier this spring, the French Mac site Hardmac reported references to Mac OS X in Autodesk's ObjectARX SDK (The Object AutoCAD Runtime Extension is an extension mechanism for customizing the application) and offered a confirmation of previous rumors that a private beta release of AutoCAD for the Mac was being prepared.

So I heard that there is a new thing, wireless USB. Basically, it's like bluetooth, but it's USB. It seems that if they could cram a wireless usb 'hub' in the air, then all you'd need is wireless usb devices and/or a wireless usb hub that you could plug usb devices into. Any reason this couldn't work? Anyone know anything about this technology? Where is Apple headed with Rev. 2 of the Air? It seems to be selling very well, and almost all criticism of it has to do with:
a) limited ports
b) Non-replaceable battery
c) Low capacity/Low performance hard drive (or very low capacity, high price SSD)
Obviously item C will become a non-issue in time as SSD gets bigger/faster/cheaper. Item B is a conscious choice I don't think they will address. Item A, the limited connectivity I think they could beef up with ideas like Wireless USB. That said, it's selling well so Apple knows what they are doing.

I'm an idiot, pleased to meet you.I had 2 external drives connected to my Macbook Pro, both had time machine back ups on...I meant to delete one of these but deleted the wrong one, and dragged it into Trash. On realising my mistake I tried to drag it back out of Trash, as you would normally but after "preparing to copy" for four hours it told me the drive was full...It's a 500gb drive, and the Time Machine back up is the only thing on it, so presumably it's just trying to copy itself when the back up is still present on the drive, albeit in the Trash.

I unplugged my PowerBook and the screen and backlit keyboard dimmed and then brightened back up. Was there a power surge inside my PowerBook?

i just deleted a file and wanted to use the new glorious "put back" function in SL that moves a trashed file back to it's place.However neither by right-clicking on the file in the trash nor in the file menu there is a "put back" option.Where is it?Edit: Ok i find this very strange. On this particular file there was no "put back" but when i do on another folder/ file there is. WTF?

i finally got my High Res Glossy MBP after 4 weeks of waiting...Everything works fine...and NO yellow tint issue...The only problem is 1 small dead pixel towards the bottom right of the screen...Will apple do an exchange on CTO machines with only 1 dead pixel?Is it even worth doing the exchange? After reading these forums i see that a lot of other users have been complaining about all types of problems...Yellow tint, wifi problems, over heating...etcshould I consider myself lucky? And just be happy that its only 1 small pixel?

There are a gazillion Time Capsule threads and my question is probably answered in one of them. But I've been skimming them and can't find it. Also couldn't find it in the Apple support docs. So...Does anybody know how far back TC backups go? Does it just hold on to the latest backup or can you go back awhile to recover your files?For example, if a file was corrupted six months ago, will I be able to retrieve the prior uncorrupted version of it - or just the latest TC backup version of it (which would of course also be corrupted)?

I went to startup here at work this morning, and only my desktop has appeared. There is what appears to be a search icon in the top right hand corner of the screen and the pointer turns to the color wheel when I move across it. I have seen it do other things, but not this one.

I just upgraded an e Mac 2.0 from OSX 10.4 to 10.5. When the Mac boots to the login screen,only "Other" appears for login and not the computer admin I had listed. I've tried typing in the computer admin's name and password, with no good results. I booted with the install DVD, changed the password of the computer admin, and still cannot login successfully.

I accidentally removed my "Downloads" stack earlier today. I thought getting it back should be easy -- just drag and drop the folder back in next to my trash icon. But now it only appears as a folder, not a stack (i.e., when I right click on it, I only have the "Options" and "Open" links, not all the stack options). Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong here? My user and applications folders that I added to my dock as stacks are still working properly.

G5 Power Mac, 4 gb RAM, OS 10.6. Machine freezes up if: I run a video (1st, 2nd one), use Safari for a few minutes, use Firefox for 1/2 hour, longer if I only have 1 tab open at a time. Occasionally, I get the black screen of death instead, with the #s running about the screen (white font), out of The Matrix. I've run Disk Utilities - RAM checks out okay, cleared out cache, switched to a new HD (old one had been there since I got the Mac, several years ago), these have alleviated but not eliminated the problem. A tech friend suggested thermal grease on the CPU, or replacing the CPU, but don't know if the latter's possible. Oh, and some part is missing that results in the fan running all of the time, like being on a runway.

I have a file that appears in the trash after every boot that can not be deleted, but when you drag it to the desktop it disappears. It seems to be the only way to remove it. You get no error message anytime. The file just has a bunch of ~~~~~ for identification. What caused this and how do you remove it? New 2009 3.06 iMac running latest version of Leopard. No issues at all with machine.

I thought I had RAM problems as I couldn't upgrade properly so I bought some new RAM (2x1GB) and replaced the old ones. However upon restarting a red light appears next to the RAM top slot and the machine still does not start. I also notice that the LED next to the power button flashes twice which according to some other info suggests that it can't see the RAM. I've taken it out and put it back carefully but to no avail - the same result !!!

I have a macbook 2.16mhz with 2gb ram mid 2007 model. It has started showing the spinning wheel for about 10-20 seconds for the last 3 months and it was getting worse and worse! and it came a time last week when almost every 5 clicks I was doing the wheel was appearing again!
First I thought I had a faulty ram and I ran memtest but everything was ok! then I reinstalled the system but still the problem exists not so ften though.
most of the times happens when I work on safari.

I'm using a MacBook Pro, purchased in 2008, running Lion 10.7.4. My problem is that my cursor is jumping all over the place, will occasionally block out a section of text and then erase it, or the cursor will jump up to other points in my text, having me type into words already formed!! It has been a struggle to type this little bit of information. Tried restarting and zapping PRAM. Not sure what else to do. HELP. Is it on the way out?
