Can i run autocad 3d, 3ds max and autodesk inventor on imac?

Hello you all!

I'm ready to buy an i-Mac for my work, but first I need to be 100% sure that it runs AutoCAD 3d. I would really need Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Inventor as well, but I can live without.

Please let me know if anyone knows, and aslo (as I never had anything to do with mac computers) I'd like to ask if I'll be able to keep updating these softwares whenever needed.

Last, does anyone know specifically what specs should I focus on among operating systems or other things when deciding which i-Mac to buy?

Thanks a lot guys!

Very simple to find out, look at the system requirements for the apps and then compare to the iMac you are interested in. As far as updating the apps that isn't a question to ask here, you need to contact the developers or even better just visit their website periodically to see if updates for their products are released. If the app's are available from Apple's App Store then updates would be released from teh App Store. If you are not familiar with the App Store please click:

for information.

BTW if you don't feel comfortable with this answer then i'd recommend contacting Autodesk and asking what hardware specifications they recommend for an iMac and also visiting your local Apple Store.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, but the thing is I don't want to buy the genuine softwares! I want to download them (cracked) 🙂

So I did search myself the Autodesk website and I found out that only Autocad can be run on Mac, but I also looked in some torrent sites and found the others as well (for Mac). But as I have no idea of Mac, I don't know if these torrents are reliable-I mean will they work? Imagine that I don't even know if torrents run on Mac computers in the first place!

You want help deciding what Mac to purchase so you can pirate the software you need???

The terms of use on this site prohibits any one here from discussing pirated, cracked, and torrented software.

You are not going to get any help with that!

You willingly pirate software, whatever happens to the Mac you decide purchase will be your issues, alone!

Sorry. Buh-bye.

Good Luck!

christi_cad,

So you are asking us to condone stealing software? Sorry, you're on own, per the Terms of Use of this forum even if we wanted to (I sure don't) we cannot discuss such illegal activies.

Good luck!
