you can get solidworks for a mac now.
you can also run virtual pc and run sw on a mac.
with both software packages you can export and most manufacturer’s will be able to use the file, you generally still need to draft it though, for fail safe reasons, or at least until you develop a work history with the mfg.
i use solidworks and have since 1996, its ok, you get out what you put in, i think that its the same with anything.
the place i use for cnc milling uses rhino.
most places around here use solidworks but i think thats just because the distributer of sw has been actively giving out major deals to mfgs who switch from another cad software.
i’ve tried a lot of 3d modelers, i really liked pro e but, with 10 years on sw, i didn’t see the worth in switching.
if you haven’t used either, i would pick sw over rhino, due to the paremetrics, but i would pick pro e over sw if you are starting fresh.
