Turkish Greetings, I would like to share my experience with ideCAD installation on iMac and Macbook PRO computers. First of all, I would like to let you know that I am very hesitant to switch to the Mac family, but when I saw that there were no problems with the programs I used, I was able to relieve my worries, since programs such as AutoCAD and Office are now releasing versions for Mac-based computers. There are two methods to use ideCAD Static on computers with Mac OSX operating system. The first is to install Windows with Bootcamp, the second is to install a virtual machine in a Mac with a program such as Parallels Desktop, VirtualBox, etc. and install Windows on it. I tried both methods and although it was a bit of a hassle I was able to run ideCAD Static either way. The main difference between the two methods is: If you install windows using Bootcamp, only windows (or Mac OSX) is running on your computer, so it's unlikely that you'll have any performance issues. If you install a virtual machine in a Mac, it can be a problem because both Mac OS X and Windows will run at the same time. I only experienced that the windows I installed with Bootcamp could not find the HASP drivers. After doing some research, I found that there is a simple solution. If the drivers that come with the installation file do not work for you (if the red light does not turn on when you insert the lock), first remove all HASP and Sentinel related installations from the Add/Remove Programs menu. Then plug the lock into your computer's USB port and open Device Manager from the Control Panel. You will see there is an unrecognized device, right click it, go to properties menu, choose update driver, it will automatically search and find it over the internet and the problem will be fixed. The second possible problem is that using the MagicMouse (due to the lack of a middle button) is a bit of a problem. However, this is no longer a problem as you can also use a mouse with a USB port that you already use, but it can be funny to have two mice on your desk. -- In the small trials I made, I did not experience any performance problems in the ideCAD Static program that I run both in the virtual machine and in Windows 7 installed with bootcamp, but I still plan to share my experiences here, if you have any questions, I will try to answer them. Thanks in advance, good work Fatih Söylemez Yuk. Ins. Eng

Hello Fatih, I have been using ideStatik software on Apple devices for about 2 years. I've also used it with Parallels Desktop for quite some time. However, Parallels Dekstop software is causing extreme slowdown in AutoCAD. In fact, this issue has been discussed for a long time on Parallels Desktop's forum. With some analysis, this slowdown can be eliminated. If you are going to work with OSX at the same time, I recommend the Vmware software. It works faster and more stable. As you said, using a magic mouse is almost impossible. The best thing is to run the software through Boot Camp. Greetings.
Hello there; We have been using Mac products for a while, we are quite satisfied. We use vmware for Windows and the transition between the two operating systems is quite fast. It also offers the opportunity to take a program opened in Windows to the Mac interface and use it as if it were installed there. For Magic Mause, I recommend software called MAGİCPREFS. The mouse adds many useful new features to the system, such as defining the middle key... Best regards.
Greetings, I downloaded the one month trial version of AutoCAD 2013 for Mac, I can say that it is quite sufficient. I recommend, you can run AutoCAD for Mac while working with ideStatik parallels desktop. MagicPrefs is a successful application indeed, it solves all AutoCad problems. However, it caused a serious slowdown on the iMac, I uninstalled it, and it was fixed when I uninstalled the program. I'll try to reinstall it when it's available, maybe something else is causing the slowdown, I don't know. * By the way, Parallels Desktop, which has a normal selling price of $ 80, is available for $ 50 along with 9 other products.

I'm writing in the static section, but I thought I wouldn't open a new topic. I'm a user of ide architecture 7... I don't know much about the features of computers, but I want to change the computer I'm using right now... I examined the computer with imac retina 5k screen on a previous recommendation. It's a pretty good computer. However, if I am going to decrease the power of the computer I am using now by adding different applications for the idecad architecture to work on that computer, then there is no need to buy it. My question; Is there a mac version of İdecad architecture or will there be? If somehow idecad is installed on that machine, can I use the performance of that computer in the program? Will I experience a power loss? Thank you in advance for your reply..

These recommendations are recommendations for a comfortable work for our users who will buy a new computer for ideCAD, they are not minimum requirements. According to the project to be done with ideCAD, it can be easily worked in lower configurations."ogün":1xsq9gpm" said:
Thanks for the reply but; I already provide the system requirements on the current computer. current computer; Intel core i7- 3770 cpu 3.40 ghz 8 ram 64 bit windows Nvidia geforce gt 430, asus 27 inch screen I want to buy: intel core i7 4 core 4 ghz 32 ram amd radeon r9 m290x, 27 inch retina 5k display os x communication system.. ... if I buy the computer I want, can I run idecad on it without any problems? If I run it with additional programs because it is not windows, will I experience poor performance? I would appreciate it if you could help me decide if it is not worth buying if I experience low performance, if it is not different from my current computer good work...

Hello, I bought MacBook Pro with M1 processor, how can I use idecad. I installed arm based windows but idecad gives file not found error. Is there a macOS version of idecad? Or will it be out soon?

Hello, IdeCAD programs run on Windows (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10) 64 bit operating system. Currently, there is no work on the compatibility of our programs with the IOS operating system. If you have the program running on your computer, "File not found" warning It may be caused by the Turkish character problem. In this case, if you edit the Windows language and region settings in Turkish, your problem can be solved. Or if you edit the IdeCAD project file name and the folder it is in, the project file will open if you edit it so that there are no Turkish characters. Good work."omer.inan02":3q501bbs" said:
