amddrafting Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 once a plan is open in PC or Mac can they be transferred to one or the other (is the file compatible with both)? Or can you only use it on the original OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 We have spoken about this before. You can go back and forth no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Chief files are compatible between platforms. In fact all files readable on Windows are readable on Mac. This means that if you have X5 or older plans you can read them directly on the Mac. Fonts between platforms may display slightly differently if they did not come from the same source. For example the Arial font that ships with Windows has very slight spacing differences than the one that ships with Mac. You probably won't notice the difference. Other fonts may have larger discrepancies. This shouldn't normally cause you difficulties. But it is important to ensure that you have the fonts you are using installed on both machines. This is conceptually not any different than going between Windows machines as the same problems can in theory occur there as well. Windows meta files will not display on Mac, but if they will be preserved so that when you go back to Windows they will still be there. A better option is to embed PDF or one of the other image types like PNG or JPEG. Aside from that there are no known issues. If you do find a problem let us know so that we can fix it.
