There seems to be no way of stopping it importing. 3 hours of rainbow spinney thing later it's imported the library. Well it seem, rather than to 'look at' a folder structure - 'Import' it!!!.
I was playing around with it last night and thought ' great, I'll just point it at my block library and start using it'. I say 'seems' because it isn't relly working. Suffice to say this is going to require a bit of re-working as the the 'content Palette' on the Mac seems to be rather lacking functionality. Save for a few palettes I rely heavily on the Design Centre and have structured my work flow and content (3000 odd blocks) for use with the Design Centre. So, it looks like I need to sit down and sort that out at some stage. There seems to be a similar tool for customising toolbars etc (no I'm not going to call them tool palette - they are different and the Mac doesn't seem to have them). At least on Windows we can change back to 'classic' workspace, but no such luch here. The UI is pretty much another step down the path that Autodesk seem to be on of making a pretty yet disfunctional interface. I've installed LT and spent a little time playing around with the user interface and getting a feel for where things are. I've worked out how to use the OS which strangely reminds of SUSE linux I used to play with years back - Ahem.
After 20+ years of using AutoCAD on Windows I have taken the plunge and bought my first Mac on Saturday (a week ago).
