Im not much of a Mac person, but I remember it is possible to run Inventor on a Mac.
You will need to do some fancy things first. The system reqs for Running Inventor on a Mac are here:
http://usa.autodesk.com/autodesk-inv...-requirements/ .
Just scroll down to "For Autodesk Inventor 2012 Macintosh Users".
If you install everything that they ask for, you should be able to use Inventor on your Mac! (I believe all you need is a Windows Partition)
One extra hint: It may be worth investing in a three-button mouse. It is possible to use Inventor without one, but it is TOUGH.
