I'm trying to find out if I can use a Mac in my flexo environment...
I'm currently using the Creative Suite, Strata 3D, Artios Studio and ArtiosCAD. Ideally, I would love to use a Mac. All our clients supplying me with artwork are using Macs. However, the rub seems to be ArtiosCAD. I understand that I can run ArtiosCAD within VMWare or Parallels. I've used bootcamp with other projects, but I've never used VMWare or Parallels. I am more than willing to give it a try. A key feature I need is the database (library files, dimensions, personnel) within ArtiosCAD. Will this still work under VMWare and Parallels?
Currently, there are some links between Illustrator and ArtiosCAD, in a Windows environment. If I run ArtiosCAD under VMWare (or Parallels), would those links also work, or would I also need to be running the Windows version of Illustrator?
Thanks for your help!
