  1. I know this is an old thread, but Thank You madcowscarnival! The AutoDesk TrueView solution helped solve an issue with importing a file into X14. Although we have AutoCAD LT 2023, I wasn't able to back-save to earlier acad formats because of custom objects that weren't supported. TrueView was the answer.
  2. Small architectural office with 3 staff using Chief. After wavering and reading different posts about this for a while, we were thinking we could use M1 Mac minis for daily work flow, and keep a PC for times we wanted to do physically based rendering. Real Time Ray Trace is something that we aren't anticipating using regularly in our work flow in the near future. But... We'll be returning the M1 Mac mini. Even the Standard camera view in x12 is not working for us. (See the attached screen recording.) Unsure whether this could be fixed, but it doesn't seem like it will be worth the time and headache to troubleshoot this issue. Maybe the next generation 'M2' chips and/or X14 will bring Apple & Chief back into sync...? Screen Recording 2021-06-27 at 6.47.53 PM.mov
  3. Thanks for the input RGardner! It's helpful to hear that your preliminary experience with the M1 MBP was encouraging. I agree that it would be wise to wait for the m2, but probably don't have that luxury. My ancient MBP is starting to be unstable and would (at minimum) need a replacement battery. This won't be my primary work machine, so getting something soon is more of a priority. My hope is that the m1 laptop will work well enough for field visits. I'll try to remember to report back in this thread once I have some time with Chief on the new machine.
  4. Hi, folks! Any updates from people who might have tried Chief on and M1 Mac using Rosetta? I'd be grateful for insights whether it works at all... Like Steve-C, this would be for relatively lightweight work like site surveys. As a point of reference, I'm presently using a 2010 MBP 13", so the bar is low...
