    I wish overhead (cut away to passenger layout) and side scale drawings of all cars existed. That way you could directly compare the vehicles. You'd think such information would be needed (in the U.S.) by the NTSB; and, thus, be freely available.

    Even the drawing of the Vision Pro feels heavy.

    I had no idea they published this to the general public.

    For accessory manufacturers?

    A huge ecosystem of third party accessories, cases, skins, etc.

    The openness is easily worth it.

    That’s obviously the people who are really using it, but I assumed you had to pay Apple to get it.

    So either you made your own measurements or if you were doing Made For iPhone and they would give it to you as part of that program which surely you must have to pay for.

    What's ironic is that Apple does all their mechanical CAD work for their products in Siemens NX running in Windows VMs.

    I understand the need for it to be in Siemens NX, but do they really run it in Windows VMs? As far as I know NX isn't certified to run in VMs without Nvidia GPU passthrough (aka Macs). It seems more sensible to maintain a fleet of Windows desktops specifically for CAD and industrial control.

    This is insane. Is there no great first party CAD solution on Mac?
