AutoCAD<br />
returns to<br />
the Mac<br />
after 16 years<br />
Autodesk has<br />
announced that it is producing a version of its AutoCAD<br />
design software for Apple Mac computers for the first time<br />
since it stopped supporting the Mac in 1994. The software<br />
has an intuitive interface that will be familiar to Mac users <strong>and</strong><br />
takes advantage of the latest Mac OS X operating system,<br />
including its graphical browsing of design files <strong>and</strong> its use of<br />
multi-touch gestures for panning <strong>and</strong> zooming on Mac<br />
notebooks, mice <strong>and</strong> trackpads. More than 5,000 customers<br />
helped to develop the Mac version in a beta programme.<br />
Autodesk has also announced a free app called AutoCAD<br />
WS mobile which extends AutoCAD to Apple’s iOS operating<br />
system for portable devices, allowing users to edit <strong>and</strong> share<br />
AutoCAD files on iPads, iPhones <strong>and</strong> iPod touch devices. The<br />
app supports real-time collaboration, even while users are on<br />
the move.<br />
The Mac software allows native creation <strong>and</strong> editing of files<br />
in AutoCAD’s DWG file format <strong>and</strong> supports collaboration<br />
with suppliers, customers <strong>and</strong> partners, regardless of the<br />
platform being used. It integrates with AutoCAD WS,<br />
allowing users to upload <strong>and</strong> manage designs in online<br />
workspaces, <strong>and</strong> to edit <strong>and</strong> share those designs via a Web<br />
browser or Apple iOS devices. AutoCAD for Mac is available<br />
as a free 30-day trial download. In addition, free educational<br />
licenses are available for personal use by students <strong>and</strong><br />
educators, subject to certain conditions.<br />

Module produces 3D panel<br />
mounting layouts<br />
Eplan is offering a<br />
software module that can<br />
be used to produce<br />
mounting <strong>and</strong> production<br />
drawings, <strong>and</strong> associated<br />
model views, quickly <strong>and</strong><br />
easily. The Pro Panel<br />
module can be used to<br />
populate panels or to<br />
define fluid power<br />
devices <strong>and</strong> valve blocks,<br />
based on Eplan’s Electric P8 or Fluid software.<br />
The module offers 3D functions to define electrical <strong>and</strong><br />
fluid engineering mounting layouts, based on Eplan’s new 3D<br />
technology <strong>and</strong> facilitates design across various disciplines by<br />
using a common database. It also shows correct views of<br />
hidden edges. Users can plan a mounting panel first, <strong>and</strong><br />
design the schematic later. The module can be used to check<br />
the position of devices, wire ducts <strong>and</strong> mounting rails. When<br />
placing elements, it verifies whether they are on the correct<br />
mounting panel. Online access is provided to all of the devices<br />
in the design, <strong>and</strong> to Eplan’s parts management <strong>and</strong> data<br />
portal.<br />
