Techsoft 2D Design on RDP servers

[olivermarshall22]

Hi all

 

We have given out loads of macbooks here to student and now we need to give them access to Techsoft 2D Design.

 

We've tried two approaches to this. One was to install it on to our Remote Desktop cluster which works, but the 2D Design toolbars disappear constantly.

So then we tried to push the app out using remote apps. This way, the toolbars don't disappear, but the mouse point doesn't line up with where the actual click occurs. So the tip of the mouse is about 10 px to one side of where the click event occurs. Not great for a precision drawing app.

 

We can't use another design tool on the macs easily as we need this tool for our laser cutters.

 

Has anyone tried getting 2D design working on a mac via Remote Desktop?

Download wineskin and create a 2D design package. 2D design works fine under wine.

Hmmm. That has come up, along with dual booting the macs and VMing windows on the macs, but we apply the macs based on an image which is the same, so we are keen to not have any one group with a variation. Delivering it via RDP allows us to do that.

 

I'll give Wineskin a go though to see whether it's something we can add to our image.
