Anyone have any current success running PTC Creo Parametric on MAC with WMware Fusion?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've been running the last several releases on a Macbook Pro via Fusion and Win7. Generally, things run OK, but have some issues with mouse behavior and key functions that are expecting a standard PC style keyboard. I think there are solutions lurking in the cfg files for alternate key defs ,but haven't had the time to sort them all out. I use a Logitech wireless mouse that has enough buttons to invoke most of the mouse features.
My latest issue is losing the License manager if I am not careful about putting the Win7 window to sleep or closing the lid on the machine. (My normal behavior is never shutting anything down.) Requires rebooting Win7, otherwise.
Punchline: if your alternative is to have a PC just for this task, I'd go for the Fusion/Win window.

Harold, Thank you for your knowledgeable response. It looks like we will keep it simple and stick with our current PC based environment. -Marvin
