One of the areas of software the Mac has always been lacking in is high end 3D engineering CAD apps. Well, today appears to be the start of the reversal of that: UGS has announced that they have ported NX (formerly Unigraphics) to Mac OS X.

According to ThinkSecret this is mainly due to Apple committing to buying a set number of licenses for their own industrial design team. As much as I would have preferred SolidWorks or ProEngineer it's a start at least

Aye, it's all good isn't it. Still the biggest hurdle will be the IT departments of engineering companies.

True, I guess transitioning to Mac hardware won't be done on a whim.

However, maybe this will catch the attention of PTC et al (who already have one useless CAD app out on the Mac).
