Architosh Tidbits: ArchiCAD, OS X and other news

Catching up with news that took place last week and earlier this week, Architosh wishes to review some key items. One of those was the announcement of ArchiCAD for Mac OS X. Graphisoft is claiming to be the first CAD for Mac OS X with version 7 release 2.

Graphisoft remarks that ArchiCAD on the UNIX core (Darwin) of OS X delivers unprecedented stability and performance with:

• Protected Memory
• Preemptive Multitasking
•Advanced Memory Management

Additionally Graphisoft remarks that OS X also features built-in DVD Player/CD burning in the Finder, AppleTalk and Windows connectivity and direct printing to PDF files. There are screen shots here.

Odessa Continues to Deliver

CS-Odessa has released ConceptDraw v1.71 which features a streamlined interface, PNG format support, improved EPS and EMF export and other improvements. The update is free of charge for current users. Both ConceptDraw v1.71 and ConceptDraw Professionals v.1.71 are carbonized for Mac OS X. In news today, Adobe's SVG Viewer 3.0, the company's new vector file format viewer app, now supports OS X, v10.1.

Last week HP introduced some new printer products aimed at small to medium sized businesses, including a nifty wireless print server. MacCentral has the story on the company's new $399 HP Color Inkjet Printer cp1160 model, a dual platform, optional networkable printer.
