The default function of the presspull tool extrudes a face straight out the control-key option pulls the face in offset mode relative to another angle. A new feature is the Control key modification of a pull or push surface at an angle associated with a shape. We think the new Context Sensitive PressPull features are cool updates and so let’s review them here a bit in detail.
#AUTOCAD FOR MAC 3D WINDOWS#
On the other hand, sometimes a new feature actually debuted on the Mac version, like Surface Curve Extraction, which is only new to AutoCAD 2013 for Windows this year as it was present in the 2012 version on the Mac. For example Context Sensitive PressPull is a new capability with modeling and is common to both platforms. This is equally true of the most important new features. There are a lot of new features in AutoCAD for Mac 2013 and most follow along what is new on the Windows version. Another missing key piece of interoperability is AutoCAD FBX. Because many landscape architects, architects and civil engineering professionals use Microstation it would be nice to see DGN underlay support added like it exist in Windows. Workflow connectivity is decently robust in AutoCAD for Mac 2013 with key items like SAT import and export and Autodesk WS and 360 Connectivity. Perhaps in later versions some of these items will make their way over. There is no workspaces and CAD standards tools.
#AUTOCAD FOR MAC 3D PASSWORD#
For instance, users cannot do things like password protect drawings or digital signatures. While AutoCAD for Mac 2013 supports CUI files, Command Aliases, ObjectARX and LISP, it doesn’t support some customization features which end users and third-party developers may wish to have. That’s quite okay with us Mac CAD and 3D users–as Apple users we don’t tend to think much of Microsoft’s user-interface creations and we are well aware of the debacle associated with the adoption of the MS Ribbon user-interface feature in many a CAD application. Interestingly, Autodesk list Ribbon Customization as a feature that the Mac does not have.
#AUTOCAD FOR MAC 3D FULL#
The argument here is Mac users, by-and-large, don’t care about such things and are more than happy with or even desire the pre-packaging and control that typically comes with Apple’s platforms, (see, “Autocad’s Fateful Return to the Mac–The Full Story,” Architosh, ). AutoCAD for Mac 2013 doesn’t support many areas of customization that are typical to the Windows version. What’s In – What’s Still Notīefore we head into taking a more detailed look at AutoCAD for Mac 2013, we should scan various other features that are not supported in the Mac version of AutoCAD yet. Of course, while other Windows-only issues may still prevail, the licensing simplification is a headache eliminated. This makes it easy for IT and CAD managers to try to mix in a blend of Mac-based AutoCAD workstations into a design or engineering studio. The program supports both network and standalone licensing as well as cross-platform licensing. One of the nice things about AutoCAD for Mac 2013 is that it can play nice in a mixed AutoCAD setting.
