    I run autoCAD2008 on macbookpro by parellel desktop. (I use apple wireless mouse)
    I've found some problem, pointer speed on autocad screen is very slow. That's not work. But pointer speed on other app. in windows is OK. It's only lack on autoCAD screen.
    Does any one know how to solve this problem? Please advice.

    Thanks.

    PS. I've tried it on VMware. It's a same problem.

    On Bootcamp, It's OK. No problem. It's just only on Virtaul Machine app.
    But I'd like to run autoCAD on Virtual Machine app. I use MAYA & SketchUP on MAC. But sometime I need to open autoCAD to check some drawing , change some detail.

    I try to use some CAD app. for MAC. It's not work for a new version of autoCAD drawing (dwg)

    Does anyone know??? Is there some CAD app. on MAC??? That's almost look same as autoCAD on Windows.
    - Functionality & Type of file supported. (same as autoCAD - version of drawing) 2D drafting (same as autoCAD)

    Pls. give me some advice.
    Thanks.

    Open Activity Monitor. What happens when you move your mouse in AutoCAD? Does the CPU spike? Which MBP are you using, and have you got GPU acceleration enabled in you VM?
