BobCAD a rip off?

just wanted to be super clear about this, the software wont work at all on your mac unless you got something like windows bootcamp installed. This is really key information we need to know as well as the bobcad price itself.
 
for the BobCAD price, it really depends on the version you're looking at, but it can range anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the features and license type. Just make sure to factor in the cost of windows if you're going the Bootcamp route, too
 
BobCAD won't play nice with macOS out of the box. If you're not already running Windows, that adds extra cost and hassle for sure.
 
You'll need Bootcamp or a Windows VM to get it going...so yeah, definitely something to factor in alongside the software cost.
