Which is the reason Autodesk is bringing Alias to the Mac… Anyhow, I find such statement out of place but whatever, good for those who need such software.

Damn. Alias on the Mac. I never thought I'd see that. I started using it back in '90 on an SGI.

So that's the whole Autodesk suite, right? AutoCAD, Inventor, VIZ, etc?

Where do you see that? All I see in the linked to blag is that they're bringing Alias over.

The inclusion of this paragraph in the article makes it seem a bit ambiguous:
3. Alias + Inventor Collaboration - Autodesk is really pushing the pairing of these two packages, painting a very sunny picture of the ID folks passing their highly sexy suface models over to engineering, who detail and fillet the things in Inventor, all in a seamless and frictionless manner. The tacit acknowledgement that filleting in Alias is and always will be a chore is probably a good thing, and Autodesk promises that the exchange has "great round trip capability": changes can be made to the surface model, then pushed into the related Inventor model where the details update without having to start over again. Sounds a little too good to be true, but the video we shot at AU in December gives us reason to be less skeptical.
But I'd assume that the whole suite isn't coming to the Mac.

Hmm...okay. I got the impression that they had renamed their suite from Autodesk Blah Blah to Alias Blah Blah. Guess I misunderstood.

Alias has run fine on a mac ever since Bootcamp was invented. It would have been REALLY nice a few years ago when we needed it. Glad to see the price is coming down into the lower stratosphere though.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.
