Best Answer
Dear 波任,
You need to refer to the license agreement/notes that accompany your Windows 7 disk. In my case the installation disc I already had restricted installation to one machine only and hence I had to buy another Windows 7 disc for my Mac.

How can I run pc based cad/cam on my imac?
- Asked by Mark E from Veneta
- 15/12/2011
Answer
I use a windows CAD program (with a USB dongle) on my MacBook Pro and Paralells to switch between Lion and Win 7 ; NO PROBLEMS 99% of times - some speed (slowdown) may occur with very large files ( make sure you have ample memory ) and once in a while it will hang ( good old windows style...), but overall runs as well if not better on the Mac.
I also use a digital engraving program with a dongle, runs very well. …More- Answered by Eli F from Hawthorne
