TurboCAD PC vs Mac

[Maury S]

I had an interesting conversation with the TurboCAD sales dept. today.  I have the choice of using a 32 bit PC (Windows10) or a 64 bit Mac (10.10 Yosemite) so I inquired as to the capabilities, ease of use, support, service, etc.  between the two.  The reviews are mostly good for the PC version and horrible for the Mac version.  He confirmed that the PC version is much better.

The speed of your computer won't as great a deciding factor as will the amount of memory you have. And possibly your graphics card.

A lot of PC programs get ported straight across to Macs.  The problem is that often, the developers/programmers don't take the time to test (or rather the company won't give them the resource for this) and functionality is often lost.  The OS's are just different enough that what works on the PC won't work on a Mac.

Hi,

It also depend on how complicated 3D models you plan to design. I use 32bit Turbocad for design of my kits and the 32bit version is limited by using only 4GB memory. It is not enought sometimes for larger models. I would prefere 64bit version but have no experience with Mac.

I use TurboCad Designer (2D only version) on the Mac, and have had no issues with it.  I'm a relatively new CAD user, so I can't make any real comparisons.
