What's ironic is that Apple does all their mechanical CAD work for their products in Siemens NX running in Windows VMs.

I understand the need for it to be in Siemens NX, but do they really run it in Windows VMs? As far as I know NX isn't certified to run in VMs without Nvidia GPU passthrough (aka Macs). It seems more sensible to maintain a fleet of Windows desktops specifically for CAD and industrial control.

This is insane. Is there no great first party CAD solution on Mac?
