I was hoping that perhaps someone with a knowledge of scripting or programming might have some solutions to offer, or perhaps suggest some sort of 3rd-party add-ons that autodesk is unwilling to provide information about.Ģ. What i'm really looking for is knowledge on how to manipulate the software to function more like the newer windows versions, which i actually find superior in terms of precision and workflow management to any other product on the market, at least for the requirements of my office. I think i need to reemphasize the reasons i started this discussion- while i appreciate the suggestions for other software, my own personal situation requires that i use the software that my company has saddled me with, which is autocad 2011 for mac. The advantage of autocad has always been that it is fast and easy to quickly draft something. If I wanted autocad to be more revit like, I would just *use revit*. At least then I can take advantage of time saving aspects of BIM. And any lag makes me think: if I wanted lag I may as well draft in Revit. Trying to be "smart software" only to make it more complicated and if it means I need one more mouseclick to make my command go through is annoying. Sometimes I feel like added features or interfaces or popups are annoying. I've only worked in 2011 a bit, but so far I get the impression it is a little slower to load, and operate in numerous files open at the same time. navigate quickly, basically little load issues. you can open a bunch of files at the same time, never have to deal with too much lag. type commands, instant, polar tracking, etc. The think I liked about autocad outside of revit's advanced capabilities is that it was "seamlessly fast" for drafting. And is it me, or does it feel clunkier than older versions of CAD like 2002 / 2004 ADT, etc.? I have been using autocad 2011 a bit at work, on a couple projects outside of Revit.
I'm wondering, though, if anyone HAS actually made the switch- preferably, someone with a better knowledge of computer engineering than I have- and whether there are any user-generated workarounds to restore some of the interface improvements that have appeared in 20 for the Windows platform (but were stripped away from the Mac release in an insulting assumption that Mac-users weren't capable of using the full program).Īfter having reviewed the chintzy tutorials that came with the program, and the far-superior platform-transition lessons on, I'm worried that I'm stuck using a Playskool machine to run what I can only describe as the inbred offspring of Autocad and Illustrator, until I reach the point where I flip out and quit my job. I have a feeling that people are being prudent and refraining from making the platform switch with the understanding that both Autodesk and Apple have a long history of releasing products that haven't been fully tested- unfortunately, I didn't have a choice in the matter. I'm surprised that I haven't heard very much discussion/coverage about the flaws that the new software has.
