The resulting file can be converted to the DWG format for iCADMac. You can email iCADMac drawings to an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, then display and insert notes, says progeCAD. A basic rendering module supports multiple lights and shadows, and an advanced ray-tracing module with materials, reflection, transparency, and smooth shadows will be available soon as an optional iCADMac module, according to the company.
AUTOCAD REQUIREMENTS FOR MAC BOOK SOFTWARE
iCADMac reads and writes 3D solid objects with the ACIS Solid Modeling libraries, facilitating the exchange of CAD project data with software supporting Spatial’s ACIS modeling kernel. Images can be displayed in JPEG, BMP, GIF, and PNG formats. You can insert, edit, and clip raster images in drawings built with iCADMac. User menus are also customizable, and Lisp and C++ (DRX) support enable porting of AutoCAD routines and applications.

These collections of data cells are said to be suitable for bills of materials, component lists, revisions, and text. User-customizable tables for organizing and managing information within your drawings are offered with iCADMac. In addition to the hatches normally available, iCADMac offers more than 300 additional hatch patterns for tiles, walls, floors, panels, ground, bricks, glass, wood, and so forth.

The software offers such features as gradient hatches, a property bar for accessing entity characteristics in a drawing, PDF import/export with layer support, and polygonal and rectangular Viewports. The company says that iCADMac comes with the basic tools and commands for creating and editing drawings expected in a CAD application. Its CAD menus and toolbars are said to be familiar to AutoCAD users or users of progeCAD, the company’s Windows-based DWG-alternative. iCADMac deploys with a standard Macintosh-like interface. The native file format for iCADMac is DWG, according to the company. DWG drawings built with iCADMac can be exported to Apple’s iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices, according to the company. ProgeCAD (Como, Italy) has released iCADMac, which it describes as the first “real AutoCAD alternative for the Mac world.” A 2D/3D DWG-native CAD solution, iCADMac is said to be compatible with AutoCAD DWG/DXF versions 2.5 through 2011 as well as with all Intel chip-based Apple Macintosh systems such as the iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini.
