Cadence Magazine doesn't avoid Macs on purpose

Architosh has been following the editorial coverage of CAD magazine leader Cadence for quite some time now. Naturally being Mac users we are sensitive to this magazine's treatment and occasional coverage of Macintosh software. Indeed, if one was to skim through a series of monthly editions looking for the word Macintosh or Apple—or even a Mac screen shot—one would be hard pressed. There aren't many Mac moments in Cadence.

Readers React

One reader of Cadence and Architosh wrote to us concerning Laiserin's articles:

These three articles are the first that I've noticed of Laiserin's, and I find them to be well-written and relatively in-depth, especially compared with general publications like Macworld where half of any article might be an exercise in creative writing. I wrote him to thank him for writing these articles, identifying myself as a Mac user, and he replied:

Thanks for your kind words. Although I reviewed the Windows versions, these are both great cross-platform tools that serve the Mac platform well. Regarding DenebaCAD (or ArchiDesign, or other Mac-CAD tools), I only write what the editors ask for and they, in turn, only respond to what readers want. So, feel free to express your interests to Cadence's editor-in-chief, Arnie Williams -- [email protected].

This Mac reader has the right idea. Go ahead and contact your favorite CAD journalist and let them know you are a Mac CAD user reading articles about Windows and would like your needs to be on the agenda (at least every now and then). You can't get what you don't ask for.

Mac Coverage Picks Up at Cadence

This October 2000 edition of Cadence has one excellent article for architects on the Mac. Emmanuel A. Garcia, an architectural CAD consultant wrote about "Desktop Visualization Tools for Designers". His excellent summary article not only covers many Macintosh 3D and CAD tools but has many Mac screen shots. In fact, some of the best rendering shots were done on Macs, while admittedly the VectorWorks screen shot didn't flatter that program too well.

To Mr. Garcia, many thanks for the fair coverage and knowledge of Macintosh tools.
