ICADMac Hightlights- The AutoCAD replacement on Mac OS X. ICADMac provide industry standard compatibility with an AutoCAD® command set, that means you can get to work immediately using the DWG files, commands, fonts, blocks and Linetypes. ”iCADMac is a real AutoCAD® Alternative“. Oct 3, 2013 - For both AutoCAD for Mac and AutoCAD LT for Mac, this includes 2D design. Issue: You are familiar with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT for Windows. In the same native DWG file format as the Windows AutoCAD products. Congrats on your first post, and welcome to the forums! What I have had to do prior to using 2009 applications, is a simple two step process. • Publish to DWF (Step # 1) > Print the DWF to PDF (Step # 2) More specifically, the way I've done this in the past (this isn't the only way), is to create a named page setup which prints my plan sheets to DWF correctly. Lame for audacity mac. My DWFePlot driver shifts the page to the right, so even if it looks good in the plot preview, check the resulting DWF file! ![]() Save this page setup to the cover sheet in my plan set. Then in the publish window, add your drawings, and for sheets other than your cover sheet (where the page setup is saved), import said page setup from the cover sheet. Check the button for printing to DWF, and publish. Hope this helps! I use DWG TRUEVIEW 2010 downloaded free from the AutoDesk website to plot to pdf format. Merely open the drawing in trueview and print just as if it were AutoCAD. It solved all of my print quality issues I have with AutoCAD LT 2009 and my issues were the same as yours. Fonts printing fuzzy or not at all, hatches messed up, and random line weight changes all solved. Another side benefit is that the resulting pdf is almost 80% smaller in file size than the AutoCAD output, even though the layer names and on/off controls are still there in the pdf. If you use a lot of blocks and xrefs, you may be asked to try and resolve 'Unresolved External References' or ignore them. I usually have no issues ignoring them. We're in the process of migrating all active projects to new servers, and will be getting all new PC's with Windows 7 on them. I had requested TrueView 2010 be installed, but if I now need 2011, I need to inform Management, and IT ASAP. Thanks for the information, Dana. Well, I thought TrueView 2010 was Win 7 compatible. However, 2011 is for sure. I don't even see a place for TrueView 2010 to be downloaded from any more. Apparently AutoDesk updated it and it is still retrofitted to the older stuff too.
