DoubleCAD on Mac with VMware Fusion

Pete_s VMware Dell I was trolling my Google Alerts on “VMware Fusion” this morning, and came across this cool post from Allan Brito over on the Blender 3D Architect blog regarding running DoubleCAD XT on the Mac with VMware Fusion.

Folks are probably familiar with how running AutoCAD on Mac is totally doable thanks to VMware Fusion.  AutoDesk themselves does it at their tradeshows, as we’ve blogged about before.

In this case, Allan talks about a free alternative to AutoCAD called DoubleCAD, that has limited functionality compared to full-on AutoCAD, but which might be worth a look for a lot of folks.

But like most software that uses DirectX 3D APIs for its 3D features, it looks like DoubleCAD is Windows-only.  But as readers of this blog know, that doesn’t mean it can’t run on a Mac!

Check out the screenshots below that Allan took of DoubleCAD running with VMware Fusion on his MacBook Pro!
