Parallels Desktop To Be AutoDesk’s Preferred Mac Visualization Software
AutoDesk and Parallels have partnered together to provide AutoDesk software to Macs. AutoDesk is a leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software. Parallels offers leading virtualization and automation software.

“Autodesk will now support use of AutoCAD software, AutoCAD LT software, Autodesk Inventor Professional software, Autodesk 3ds Max software, Autodesk 3ds Max Design software and the Autodesk Revit software platform for building information modeling (BIM) on Mac OS X via Parallels Desktop. Autodesk added official support for these products on the Mac via Boot Camp earlier this year.”

Parallels Desktop for Mac allows over 2 million users to run Windows-based applications seamlessly on their Macs.

Lots of AutoDesk Choices
Mac users have quite a few choices from AutoDesk.

“With the launch of the Autodesk Alias family of software for Mac OS X earlier this year, Autodesk now offers five native Mac OS X applications for the entertainment, multimedia and design industries, including Autodesk SketchBook Pro, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Mudbox and Autodesk Stitcher Unlimited software. For more information about Autodesk Mac support, visit Autodesk.com/mac.”

“Autodesk customers are increasingly working with both Mac and Windows, and have asked us to support Mac virtualization,” said Chris Bradshaw, Autodesk chief marketing officer. “Today we are pleased to welcome Parallels as a partner and Parallels Desktop as our preferred Mac virtualization software. ”

Parallels Optimizes Computing
Parallels works seamlessly with Macs (see my review at Parallels 4.0 Desktop for Macs). If you need access to Windows software, consider Parallels Desktop.

Now, Mac users can enjoy additional AutoDesk products with Parallels Desktop.
