3D Max & Auto CAD work on the Mac?

I'm Using iMac, bought it a few days ago. It's so amazing and lovely.

But some application S/W doesn't work on the iMac . Such as Autodesk 3D Max & Autodesk CAD...~!

Should i just wait that Autodesk will be supported?


I know that adobe systems Inc. is pushing forward with 3D Max compatibility on the Mac & Win.

Hope the adobe systems Inc. will support business service.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7), 21"

If the versions of the software you have are PC versions you can get them to work on your iMac however you will need to buy and install a license of Microsoft Window's 7. You can then run them in Boot Camp. If you don't know if they're PC versions simply look on the media or boxes they came in. If you are not familiar with Boot Camp please look over:


A Mac can even run Windows.

Have a Windows application you need to use once in a while? No problem. Every new Mac lets you install and run Windows at native speeds, using a built-in utility called Boot Camp.

Setup is simple and safe for your Mac files. After you’ve completed the installation, you can boot up your Mac using either OS X or Windows. (That’s why it’s called Boot Camp.) Or if you want to run Windows and Mac applications at the same time — without rebooting — you can install Windows using VMware or Parallels software.*

Thanks for your rapid reply.


I'm so sorry about that my english expression was not correct.

I understand what you mean, iMac can run both of them OS lion & Window OS .


But I mean.., I would like to use applications 3D Max & Auto CAD on the OS Lion.

Exactly I don't want to use window OS , even though iMac support window OS


Window OS is exposed to hacker, I have suffered a heavy damage over 300,000 US dollar. That is why i change to iMac.


I hope Adobe Systems Inc, will support those applications based on OS X Lion as soon as possible. Do you have an idea?


And…, There is an error using keyboard shortcut on the iMac., I'm using Korean & English together. Just one time all day during using iMac. But It's working well now. Hope never happen from now like a this error.
