Does Qcad support Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard?

We have reports of users running QCAD successfully on Snow Leopard and reports of users without success.

Please try the demo version of QCAD to make sure QCAD works on your system:

Official support for Snow Leopard will be added in 2-3 weeks.

I am currently running QCad Version 2.1.3.2 under Snow Leopard. It seems to be running fine so far.javascript:emoticon(':)')

Was support for SL in the 2.2.2 up date? I'm ready to switch from Leopard to SL (it just arrived) and have work in progress, but on hold, using QCAD Pro v 2.2.2

As of now, we still don't have a Snow Leopard machine here for testing. We were planning to buy one of the new iMacs but it had so many technical problems with the screens, HDs, etc, that we decided to cancel that.

Unfortunately, since Apple does not allow virtualization, we need one machine per Mac OS X version. I hope we will have a new machine by March 2010 for this purpose. Until then, you would have to try QCAD 2.2.2.0 on Snow Leopard to see if it works for you.

Andrew:
Thank you for the quick response.

Anyone else tried SL and QCAD 2.2.2 since this string started?

Qcad 2.2.2 is working fine for me under SL

[andrew]

QCAD is meanwhile supported also under Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Works great for me!

I'm a keyboard user. I'd like to purchase the latest version of qcad for the mac, but i'm finding that the demo version does not place focus in the command window properly.

REPRO:
1. open a drawing
2. <space> // nothing happens
3. <alt-m> // nothing happens
4. za // zoom out to all works
5. zp // zoom pan works

So...any ideas? I'm testing against the latest demo version:

toddg: Setting the focus on the command line has been mapped to Command-M on Mac OS X, since space is not a valid shortcut under OS X.

[toddg]

Even though this is in the docs, I somehow did not understand:

"""
35.1. Command Line

Space / Command-M
"""

I mis-interpreted Command-M as Alt-M in my brain. Oops.
