PLANO, Texas — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 11, 2009 — .bwtextaligncenter {text-align: center}Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced general availability of its NX™ software application with native support for Mac OS X on 64-bit Intel-based Macs. The full computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) functionality of NX, Siemens PLM Software’s flagship digital product development application, now includes the Mac in its list of supported operating environments.
“We are delighted to add the Mac to the comprehensive list of operating environments supported by our NX CAD/CAM applications,” said Joan Hirsch, vice president of Product Design Solutions, Siemens PLM Software. “Today’s announcement further expands the flexibility of NX and provides customers with the freedom to choose from one of industry’s broadest range of supported operating systems.”
NX is used by leading companies around the globe to design and manufacture some of the world’s most innovative and sophisticated products. Its wide adoption throughout the global manufacturing industry is due in part to its ability to support a wide range of operating environments – including Windows®, UNIX® and Linux – in a heterogeneous or single operating system deployment.
“NX has been our exclusive CAD/CAM software for several years because of its unmatched ability to handle all of our product design and manufacturing needs,” said Marcel Eggimann of Eggimann Design. “At the same time, we have always preferred the Mac as the system of choice for the work we do. Now we can have the best of both worlds as these two great technologies come together. We have been using NX on Mac OS X for three months now and we are very impressed with its performance and reliability.”
The Mac OS X version of NX includes all of the software’s robust CAD and CAM functionality, as well as support for Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter® platform through rich client capabilities embedded in NX and the thin client based on Apple’s Safari web browser. As a result, NX for Mac OS X can leverage all the capabilities of Teamcenter, the world’s most widely used PLM portfolio, including its ability to support a multi-platform CAD strategy.
“It’s pretty clear that more and more people are demanding that their primary software tools are available on their operating system of choice,” said Al Dean, Editor in Chief, DEVELOP3D.com. “Siemens PLM Software’s move with NX to Mac OS X should see them gain a foothold in a growing community.”
Se correr bem, eu sou comprador certoBricscad V10 for Linux beta

DOWNLOAD
In this version
The beta version of Bricscad V10 for Linux contains the complete DCL and LISP APIs. Existing applications and customizations written for Windows-based Bricscad and/or AutoCAD® using these APIs can run on Bricscad V10 for Linux without modification.

Já têm um compradorhttp://www.bricsys.com/mail/view.jsp?mail=MIAGJBARHQ
e finalmente aqui está. continua a ter as suas (minhas) limitações mas talvez sirva de impulsionador para a aposta em Gnu/Linux.
as letras pequeninas para quem não quiser ler tudo: "Fedora, OpenSuse and Ubuntu are supported, other flavors will probably work but are not tested/supported."
nozkinka, dá também uma olhadela pelo Ares da Gräbert - http://new.graebert.com/index.php
Sempre em cima do acontecimento, tu estás...
Abraço!
Para mim a limitação destes (Free2Design e DoubleCAD XT) é a ausência de 3D. Alguém conhece algo do género mas com essa possibilidade?
olha, ca esta ele!
muito me apraz ler-te. obrigado pelo link. amanha vou indagar.
os acontecimentos 'acontecem' a uma velocidade incrivel, talvez nao tanto nesta area como gostaria, mas preciso de arranjar uma alternativa para ter uma maquina em condiçoes para trabalhar (se bem que ainda fique dependente devido ao software especifico p/ topografia), dai tentar nao deixar passar nada
desculpa a ausencia de assentos mas ando aqui c/ um 'problemazito'.
abraço.
Encontramo-nos sempre por aqui, não é? Hehehe
Acaba por ser apenas mais um. Sinceramente, do que testei, pareceu-me muito robusto (mais que o BricsCAD). No entanto, é também mais caro... No fundo acaba por ser uma questão de custo/benefício Este tem ainda versão MAC, algo que de base intellicad (ou ex-intellicad, como o BricsCAD) não conheço.
Em termos de software de topografia, o que precisas? Uma base de importação de pontos seria suficiente ou precisas mesmo de algo do género do MDT/CivilCAD?
Alguém já falou aqui do DraftSight? Parece que é um programa jeitoso.
