It might be as 'easy' as writing Cocoa bindings for the different ArcObjectsвЂ¦errвЂ¦objects.Д®ither way, ESRI are so deep in bed with Microsoft it's nothing but a pipedream.

NET code, then ESRI can rewrite ArcObjects.

(Surprised to see other GIS peeps in the Mac Ach) NET-based extension on top of Autodesk Map.Д®SRI however has their python interface - something that should work just fine cross platform. One of their products (Topobase) is just a huge. VBA is dead - I don't think MS is licensing it for new products, no one seems interested in VSTA.ДЄutodesk also offers a substantial SDK in. If they do, you can guarantee it'll horrible to work with/will be horrible. NET and VBA route that they'll never rewrite in cocoa. I know there are other good CAD titles for the Mac, but this is sort of like MS Office - you gotta have it for the platform to be considered at all.Дoesn't ACAD/Revit/etc us QT or something now? It probably WONT look all that great on a Mac, but then again, it doesn't look all that great on Windows, eitherД¬ouldn't agree more, but.ESRI are so far down the. But seriously.if ACAD is any good, it really will open up the doors to Macs in places the door has been solidly shut and locked for a long time.

And I must say it sure feels good right now to be the person in charge of software purchases at our small company. Hopefully Autodesk is just getting their toes wet, and we will see more in the future.

I can't dare to hope that something as odd as Robot will come out, but you never know. I will get this the second it is released.and Revit, if it ever is.

Perhaps they can bring along Revit while they're at it - the interface seems to have a much more Mac-like potential and the industry management seems more likely to be fooled into investing in that. I wonder if I can convince our office to pick up a copy for compatibility purposes (fat chance I'm thinking) - I'm guessing that feature parity and file compatibility will be about as good as it currently is under the latest version of Vectorworks. There is no way that the interface will be that clean in real world usage.still it will be interesting to see how much they've really cleaned it up from when I was using Architectural Desktop 20.
