Re: Eeny, Meeny, What Comes Next? High End CAD on OS X.

In general I like Cocoa-based interfaces better than X11/UNIX/Motif. That said, I think there is plenty of opportunity for Siemens to improve the NX interface without getting Cocoa in the mix. Though, to be fair, the NX6 interface is better than NX4 (haven't used NX5).

"Does it qualify as a native app?"
I didn't have to reboot into windows to open my UG file. Native enough for me. That perspective may change with more time behind the wheel.

I'm super stoked to have UGNX running natively on Mac OS. I'm in the minority; NX is the only app I use that wasn't Mac OS native. Even though I have a Bootcamp partition with NX installed, actually getting an assembly loaded while I'm in a factory in China has always been an involved process. You guys can argue the politics and marketing/business strategies. I'm going to enjoy not having to reboot to get at my CAD files regardless.
