Re: Mojave VM on an M1 Mac

Well hopefully VMware or someone figures it out... I was thinking about running a cloud instance of Mojave in AWS to just remote in when I need PC. I haven't researched how it would actually work. Never thought of that…interesting it's a last-last resort since I have have a fairly new Intel Mac…and...

Re: Mojave VM on an M1 Mac

Any kind of VM, Emulation, whatever..... The other CAD packages I have looked at are just awful :oops: Just read through the VMWare and Parallels blogs. I'm not optimistic about running Mojave in a VM on an M1 Mac… VMWare isn't planning to prioritize running MacOS's in a VM right away anyway… Even ...

Re: Mojave VM on an M1 Mac

I'm on board but you suggested Mohave wouldn't run in the upcoming VMWare because ARM… Has something changed your mind? I haven't seen any Mojave or older OS X VM's run on an M1 Mac. I am hoping it becomes possible. I was hoping there are others that need the same solution. I will for sure. They ca...

Re: Mojave VM on an M1 Mac

So now the topic at hand will shift to preserving a method to run the current version of PowerCadd as long as possible. Of course we can keep old Macs around but it would be nice to basically preserve a time capsule (VM) of the current Mojave/PC setup to use for another decade. I am just starting a...

Re: Update of PowerCADD for MacOS Catalina

Paul, with PC9 running on an older mac mini, are you able to work off the same Mac computer you use running post Mojave software? I was thinking about doing the same thing, but not sure how the two would interface. Steve H I just saw this post 8 months late…apologies Not sure what you're asking tho...

I would just like PowerCadd to run at all on my new computer.
I read that VMWare for M1 Macs will be available around July-August
Also I think Parallels already does support M1's

I believe you can still download the Mojave installer…I did a few months ago myself.

Re: Clarification-the future of PowerCadd

I get a new Mac every 4-5 years but I like to keep two running just in case. I have a 2018 and a 2014 Mini for work
The 2014 runs PowerCadd…

…I'm jonesing for an M1 to play with though…

Re: Clarification-the future of PowerCadd

Seems to me we already got a clarification recently…that it would be close to 2022 before the new version of PowerCadd would be released… I currently run PowerCadd on my old MacMini…that'll work until the mini gives up the ghost. I have a VMware version of Mojave with PoweraddC running on my new (no...

Re: Clarification-the future of PowerCadd

Probably shouldn't say this out loud but I'd pay double what ES/Wildtools has been charging for upgrades. There is literally no software that can do what PowerCadd can do overall especially when it comes to graphics/pdf at any price… PowerCadd is the Swiss-army knife of Cad software…indispensable in...
