Few weeks has passed, any news on the final release of Universal?
Also has anyone found any bugs?
Thanks,
Joseph

I have been unable to open our AC9 layout book. I either crash, or AC10macintel tells me it cannot open that file. Any ideas?

Hello GS,
There are some small & large issues with the AC10 macintel beta - i know that's why it is still a beta

Will there be an update to the beta soon to fix these issues, or is the full public release imminent?

Thanks,

i've managed to keep two open sessions running from last night. but my services menu has just crashed (running skype beta does that sometimes) and the only fix is a restart . . . otherwise i will be stuck on wednesday at 5.49pm until i can get another AC mactel downloaded . . . very very pissed off.

It runs, it plays, it PLOTS, it's able to navigate tall buildings...

Very nice work, GS team! Thanks very much for porting AC10 natively to MacIntel - it ROCKS in 3D realtime navigation on my MacBook Pro 2.0GHz w/ 1.5GB of RAM.

An A-B 3D navigation comparison/race between my Mac laptop against a pretty new desktop PC running AC10. Trekking around & through the same multifamily,multistory project file (w/ sitework, mesh, and many trees & shrubs to challenge the machines) revealed the Mac as the clear winner in terms of speed and least "dropped" entities during navigation.

The PC pilot, until recently an AutoDesk power-user/beta tester until he saw the light, summarily put a new Mac on his shopping list.

Congratulations! It is quite an accomplishment! I would love to see one of those Apple produced interview that would highlight the challenges and processes you went through. Are you developing with Xcode 3 on the MacPro etc?
