autocad for new mac book 2.16 gig
I live in Italy but I'm American so I'm posting on the USA site for help. On September 21, 2007 I purchased a Macbook 2.16 Gig (in Italy) for my daughter who attends the 1st year of Architecture in Parma. The choice of Apple was natural as my husband and I have been happy Apple users since 1980. But we are not architects. We did not know that Autocad does not run on Macs.
My daughter came home 2 days ago saying she needs to run Autocad for school. But we discovered that there is no Autocad software compatible for her Macbook! We have been told (by Apple reseller here ) that Bootcamp (in Leopard) or Parallel or VM Fusion software will allow her to run Autocad. But other local Autocad resellers have said even with the above software Autocad will not authenticate on a Macbook.
PLEASE HELP! I don't want to spend more money on software like Leopard or Parallel or VM Fusion if in the end, Autocad will not run properly on the new Macbook 2.26 Gig. Is our only solution to buy another portable like a Dell or HP for one single Autocad application??? Seems impossible.
