Hi,

Macbook M1 processor is not supported hardware platform. You have to use Intel/AMD processor.

I have successfully installed Creo 3 M190 X32 on my MacBook Pro M1. All modules work perfectly, rather its up and running faster than my other Windows 10 Laptop. Problem is X64 versions of Creo. Unfortunately Creo 3 is the last version that is available in 32bit.

Cool!  Did you run it in Parallels or something else?

Hi,

have you tried installing/running newer versions of Creo?

According to a post on "parallels forum", You have to add 

ENV=PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64
ENV=PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64

to Your parametric.psf

It seems, that otherwise Creo Parametric does not know what to do with an "M1" processor. Using the AMD64 binaries, lets Windows kick in its x64 emulation.
