Microsoft Publisher is a simple publishing application by Microsoft; it is included in certain Microsoft Office packages. Though outwardly similar to Microsoft Word, Publisher focuses on graphic design and page layout features. For example, it allows the user to rearrange all elements on the page freely, whereas Word does not. It is meant to create documents that are meant to be printed, like business cards, advertisements, newsletters, certificates, flyers, and so on. Newer versions of Publisher are also suitable for creating static websites, as they are capable of exporting the document into an HTML file. Other supported file formats include PDF and XPS. Though not the only publishing application out there, Microsoft Publisher is explicitly aimed at beginner users and has an intuitive interface. As such, you might want to run Microsoft Publisher on Mac even though it is not officially available on the platform. There are several ways to do so; read the guide below to learn more.

ZW3D is a product development software by ZWSoft. It can perform CAD, CAE, and CAM tasks, which means it can be the only program used for the entire cycle of developing a product. The seamless integration between these components results in a simplified workflow, less development costs, and a quicker product development cycle overall. ZW3D can analyze structural strength of your product, analyze and repair improper geometry, automatically generate gears with specified paramaters, simulate CNC machining process, and perform a variety of other specialized tasks. As such, it can be used to design pretty much anything: from relatively simple products like spare parts and plastic molds, to consumer goods, to incredibly complex industrial hardware with thousands of moving parts. Undoubtedly, ZW3D is a very powerful product; however, it is compatible only with Windows computers. Nonetheless, it is possible to run ZW3D on Mac. To accomplish this, you will need an additional third-party tool; learn more about them in the article below.

Siemens PLM Components is a collection of tools designed to integrate into CAD and PLM applications. Each component provides one specific function, such as automatic path planning, geometric modelling, shape search, and so on. However, certain components are logically grouped together; for example, components in the “Kineo” group perform functions useful for controlling robotic arms and similar equipment. Though all of these components are theoretically cross-platform, in practice, many of them work only on Windows. Attempts to use PLM Components on Mac produce strange and inconsistent results – which is obviously unacceptable in any field that demands precision. However, there are several way to run Siemens PLM Components on Mac without encountering these issues; the most straightforward one is to use a virtual machine. Read the article for a more detailed explanation.

Weather applications are always popular. Why wouldn’t they be? Sure, you can check the weather just by looking out of the window, but that only tells you what’s happening right now. To plan ahead, a forecast is needed. There are many ways to receive such a forecast, ranging from hopelessly old-fashioned ones like watching TV, to something more modern like using a website. But using an app is a better solution still. Although it may use the same source of information, it is simply more convenient. After all, seeing weather displayed right on your desktop is undoubtedly quicker than opening a website. There are many applications that provide this functionality; they are available on pretty much every operating system, including mobile ones. But today, we will focus on programs developed for macOS. We will review several of them and determine the best weather app for Mac.
