AutoCAD on Citrix

[CitrixGuy]

Has anyone installed AutoCAD on Xenapp, or wants to ?

Check out the www.autodesk.com site for info on Citrix it is possible, also AUGI had a press release a couple of months ago about Autodesk & Citrix

 

Yes we run Citrix but not Autocad on it maybe in future.

I can only assume that is will run correctly, but I can also imagine how slow it might be. Depending on how many users are logged in to the Citrix server. I use to work as an IT Admin and we used Citrix. Once we reach about 5-6 users logged in the speed became a major issue and we ended up building new Citrix servers for the additional users. Citrix does not equal speed no matter which way you look at it.

We have around 1000 users around 200 in the building I am in majority have acces to Citrix. Some days weeeee hhhhaaavvvveee aaaaa ppprrrrobbbblemmmm withhhhh spppeeeddd

I dont see the logic to use this software on TS.

Autodesk may have some solution to your problem, but the

load on the server can lead to move to regular desktops

We are currently running trial with a company called IMSCAD, and it seems to running really well, I wanted other people thoughts, The reason we are looking at Citrix versions, our user can now use AutoCAD on there ipad on site, which they tell me is very useful. We are using Xenapp 6 and a HP server with an Nvidia card, what spec did you guys try ?

To clarify Autocad standalone & networked but not on Citrix we just have it as a possible solution for some real casual users rather than tie up the network versions.
