(For those new to the column, Forward Migration is our term for companies moving from Wintel machines to Macs -- or at least adding or increasing the number of Macs they use.

Retoucher on Mac computers and I'm interested in jewellery design. We'll be looking at a wide range of products, from applications designed to keep track of stock and inventories to software used in making custom jewelry. JewelAppraiser publishes a FileMaker solution, JewelAppraiser, that helps jewelers rapidly complete appraisals and stores the information for future retrieval. 'It is capable of producing stunning appraisal reports, complete with photos,' Mat Higbee of Starboard Response told MacCentral.

'Nemetschek originally made a non-specific, high end CAD application, then added plug-in systems to allow architects, engineers, landscapers, etc., to have an application that addressed their individual needs, such as tools, and objects,' Gunter said. 'Vectorworks has now been released as a complete standalone for architects, and I would imagine that other specialty applications will follow, using their core CAD system as a base. I would imagine that if anybody was in a position to create a CAD app for jewelers, it would be them.' Vectorworks 9 is now available and has tools for precision 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and client presentations. Plus, it has a build-in database and spreadsheet to track costs and materials, and a scripting language to automate routine drafting tasks. Vectorworks 9 requires a Power Mac running Mac OS 8.6 or higher, 64 MB of RAM, 110 MB hard disk space for a full install (64 MB of hard disk space for a basic install), and CD-ROM drive 'As far as analyzing the structure of gems, their angles, cutting results, and the effects a flaw may have on the cutting of a gem, I doubt the Nemetschek software can handle that type of scientific analysis,' Gunter said.
