    does anyone know if I can download and use the cad/cam lite software found on the Torchmate website to a MacBook Pro?

    There is a program for mac called bootcamp that some of our customer have used to get windows based programs to work on their MAC including our CAD/CAM.

    can you partition the hard drive and run Windows on it?

    Purchase Vmware fusion, create a Windows virtual machine and it will run fine

    I run Parallels/Windows XP on my iMac and TM CAD/CAM runs fine. You need to make sure that Windows has control of the TM USB key/dongle BEFORE you start the program. Otherwise it will work for awhile then lock you out losing all your work in the process.

    For the VMD I ended up getting a new Windows machine to run the table.
