Hi,
I was wondering if you can advice me on hardware for Autocad Vector Works 2011. I was wondering which CPU+Motherboard and graphics to consider for a $1500usd budget.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

We're talking about remote graphics in this series. We've outlined the potential benefits for CAD users and the reduced hardware costs, and now we're going talk about the benefits for the heavy-duty 3D users.

I do design work in SolidWorks 2011 and photography in Adobe products.
I want to purchase a Mac Pro to replace a PC system and am interested in buying a card that will go into a Mac Pro to run SolidWorks under Bootcamp and Adobe products in the Apple environment.

Can you make any recommendations?

Thank you.

Dexter

We're talking about remote graphics in this series. We've outlined the potential benefits for CAD users, and now we're going to get more specific.

There is a growing demand for portability, energy conversation and cost savings in the CAD world — hence the movement to small form factor devices use of the cloud for review and commenting. But there still remains the need for complex 3D graphics, security and high performance computation. Hence killer workstations and professional graphics cards like the FirePro or Quadro.

Since early August, Cadalyst.com has been running a poll asking users, “What type of computer do you use primarily for CAD-related work?” As this post went live, 905 people had voted.

Mathew Kirkland has put together a routine that will determine whether the version of AutoCAD installed on a particular machine is 32-bit or 64-bit. This is useful if you manage various machines in a mixed environment, because some third-party routines require different files to be loaded depending on the version.

Dear sirs,

playing around with the Cadalyst Systems Benchmark for some time now I would like to thank you for this tool. It's very valuable to check different hardware for AutoCAD software products.

There is only one thing I would like to suggest. The tool won't work with localized versions of AutoCAD because the commands in the lisp and script files miss the underscore prefixes necessary. I therefore modified the relevant files for localized versions of AutoCAD.
If you wish to add these internationalized commands to the Cadalyst Systems Benchmark feeld free to send me an Email. I would be pleased to send the relevant files to you.

Sincerely
Markus

Previously we covered the important characteristics to look for when choosing your next CAD display. Here, we finish our discussion with some suggestions about shopping and costs, as well as what you will need to get the best possible image out of your new display.
