Thanks!
Maya runs on Macs. As does Blender. But I assume, since you also posted in CAD that you are talking about 3d-cad programs. I use BRL-CAD and OpenSCAD quite a bit on my Mac. Neither of which would I suggest for actually cadding a robot. I'd suggest using either virtualization software or dual booting to get Windows and utilize the software that everyone does.

If you are insistent upon using CAD on your mac... Autodesk released AutoCAD LT and it is available in the App Store. Reviews are mixed and I cannot recommend it as I haven't tried it. Don't want to spend $900 on trying it.


But do you know that posting the same thing in multiple forums isn't likely to get you a faster response? It isn't against any rule I could find in a cursory glance but it is generally frowned upon in my experience.


Also, not using all caps tends to help with people wanting to help.

Please delete one of your threads or ask a Mod to do it for you.
