The number one question on forums is: "Will eCut ever run natively on CorelDRAW for Mac?" | | No macOS version | Works only
Currently, no. The eCut engine relies on Windows API calls (DLLs) that do not exist in macOS. However, many users report success running CorelDRAW for Mac via Parallels or CrossOver and installing eCut in that virtual Windows environment. Performance is acceptable for 2D cutting tasks but suffers with large 3D projects.
