Moving to MAC what problems will occur

[Anonymous]

Our office is moving from PC to MAC ao or ArchiCAD is going to Mac. Will we be able to open PC ArchiCAD files from a MAC? Or take a Mac file home and work on our PC's? What other problems will we have? Will we lose our company libraries? Please help.

Me: yes it will. Over.

After much hue and cry they allowed this functionality in (I think) version 9.

Really Jeff, I don't think you are going to have too much trouble. Lots of folks do what you are wanting to do everyday. Even I do it (furtively and with deep-seated shame) occasionally.

As Dwight says, yes. But moreover, OS X does USB the way it is supposed to be - true plug and play. It does not matter what USB port you plug your key or printer into on a Mac - it will just work. On Windows (at least XP and earlier), if you plug it into a different port, it wants to reinstall the driver if the device has never been plugged into that particular socket before...

You mean "plug and work."

Archicad stopped being "play" in 1994
