Use Projects in a Multiple Operating System
Environment
Project (DST) files can be used across both the Mac OS X and Windows
operating systems.
Project files can be used in releases of AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT that support
the Sheet Set Manager on Windows or the Project Manager on Mac OS X. The
project (DST) file is an XML based file which allows the files to be used between
both platforms. You will want to make sure that the drawing (DWG) files
referenced by the layouts in the project (DST) file are in a network location
that can be accessed by both Windows and Mac OS X.
In addition to the drawing and drawing template files referenced by the project
file, you need to make sure the following are also accessible to all users:
Drawing template (DWT) files
Callout blocks
View label blocks
Page setups
