Is it possible to run DataCAD on a Mac? If so how would I do it.

Yes, and there is a thread here on doing it.

I am running DataCAD via Parallels. I did this as I wanted DataCAD on one monitor, but all other functions of the Mac on my second screen (internet, emails, etc.) It takes some fine tuning, and there are some nuisances, but I am slowly working through them all.

Thanks Canuck. How long have you been trying to get it work? Neil said there was a thread on the subject but I haven't found it yet (although I just briefly tried the other day).

I have been running it since January. Honestly I think it had to do more with Parallels, and getting the commands to all work. Basically going through and making sure it knows when you hit "F1" it does the PC command and not what it might be on a Mac like changing the brightness, etc. There are other quirks, but you either learn to deal with them, or figure a work-around. Not quite sure how smoothly or less of a pain it is with boot camp. I am sure others can chime in.

Here is the thread:



I use VMware Fusion, but Parallels Desktop also works. I have been doing this since late 2008.
