That said, our office is currently running F/X CAD with Cloud Data on M series Macs – however, note that we have a dedicated IT department that is well versed in repairing F/X CAD installations and helping them function properly. Autodesk has more engineers than we do, so they are simply in a better position to develop an ARM-compatible product.

In short, the main issues with F/X CAD and the M series are that F/X CAD is a unique product and we are a small company. It could also require waiting for us to make a brand-new installer or repair program, which might take several days. As such, repairing an F/X CAD install could likely require running an additional installer to restore some F/X CAD–specific modifications to the underlying Autodesk product. Here's why: We develop F/X CAD by starting with an Autodesk AutoCAD engine and customizing it extensively. In the case of F/X CAD, repairing the install may leave it in an unusual state. The fix typically involves repairing the install, and possibly rolling back a particular Windows update or updating a particular library. On any given day, Windows could release an update that breaks F/X CAD or AutoCAD on an ARM platform. F/X CAD: Technically compatible, but not recommendedį/X CAD doesn't play well with the M series yet.If you choose to use Land F/X on an M series, you will be required to use Cloud Data. M Series Macs currently do not support Local Data Land F/X with AutoCAD or F/X CAD in any regard because no ODBC connectors for ARM are available, which makes a database connection impossible. Is Land F/X compatible with M series Mac computers (M series & M2)?Īre you having a specific issue using our software on an M seriec Mac? See the Land F/X & Troubleshooting section below for links to issues we've seen and resolved with Land F/X on an M series Mac.Īlthough AutoCAD and Land F/X will function on an M series Mac, our specific recommendations for using CAD on an M series Mac will vary depending on your particular setup:
