What I have heard/read about that conversion/translation, it is actually only available for x86 (32 bit) software, not for 圆4 (46 bit) ? But I might be wrong. What makes you so optimistic about performance & prices ? In a few moths you may that for sub $4,000.

So far BricsCAD seems fairly comparable to the Windows counterpart but for me at least I really enjoy the Windows experience with all three. On Commander as well as Autodesk the Mac versions are pretty gimped down. I have perpetual licenses to AutoCAD LT 2012 as well as a perpetual ARES Commander license that will allow the 2021 update and now the bricsCAD Lite perpetual licence.

If tests will soon show, that typical CAD/3D projects could run onĪ 16 GB RAM ASi Mac and that it is faster than my Trash Can, (seducing) Intel iMac, to replace my aging 2013 Trash Can.

I guess I keep my Macs due to a long history with them that goes back to the Power PC days. I personally prefer the Win 10 box for general productivity. I use a Win 10 box as well as a Mac mini here in my office. Thanks for the input! I'll look forward to seeing what happens. ML cores could accelerate Bricscad's AI commands like Bimify or Propagate.

I think it should be manageable that Bricscad runs on ASi by Rosetta2 without too muchĭevelopment effort. Well, latest Bricscad seems to run fine on Big Sur already, I think that hasn't changed and V21 should be released soon (?) ![]() (around February ?), since V20 they tried to bring all OS versions nearly at the same time. While in older versions it took some months until Bricscad for Linux/macOS released
