Last year I started to work in 123D design, and after getting used to the program I switched my pc to a Mac, BUT I can't find any oficial download links, all the websites link´s that talk about this topic directs me to thinker cad, I would like to ask if anyone knows how to officially download 123D design in MAC. A brief tutorial that shows how to download Tinkercad designs as.stl files for 3D printing. It shows both versions of the Tinkercad editor.
TinkerTool is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into macOS. This allows to activate hidden features in the operating system and in some of the applications delivered with the system.
The tool makes sure that preference changes can only affect the current user. You don't need administrative privileges to use the tool. With this design, it is no problem to use TinkerTool in professional networks where users have restricted permissions. The program will never change any component of the operating system, so the integrity of your system is not put at risk, and there will be no negative effect on system updates. Compliance with these security rules is additionally guaranteed by the application sandbox of macOS.
All preference settings changed by TinkerTool can be reset to Apple's defaults, or to the state that existed before using the tool. No dangerous background processes are used for TinkerTool's operation.
TinkerTool is electronically distributed software. You can download the product free of charge.
TinkerTool generations for older operating systems
TinkerTool is available for all generations of macOS, OS X, and Mac OS X. Please see our version overview for details.
Why Tinkercad is the best option for CAD and 3D Printing beginners…
If you’re new to CAD design for 3D Printing, Tinkercad is definitely the program to start with. It’s a very powerful, user-friendly platform for CAD beginners and entry-level 3D Printing enthusiasts. By manipulating shapes and then adding or subtracting them from other shapes, you can create a lot of unique things or recreate existing objects in the world.

Keyboard Shortcuts
Moving Object (s):
- ←/ ↑/ →/ ↓ = Move an object along ground plane (X/Y Plane)
- ctrl+ ↑/ ↓ = Move an object up or down (Z plane)
- Shift+ ←/ ↑/ →/ ↓ = Move an object 10X faster along ground plane (X/Y Plane)
- ctrl+ Shift+ ↑/ ↓ = Move an object 10X faster up or down (Z plane)
- Shift + drag = moves object in only one direction
- D = Drop selected object(s) to workplane
Press and Hold the keyboard keys and then click/drag mouse for the below shortcuts…
- Shift + Right click = Pan view
- Alt+ left mouse button = Duplicate object(s)
- Shift+ left mouse button = Select more than one object
- Shift+ hold while rotating = 45 degree rotations
Helpful object action shortcuts…
- ctrl + C = Copy an object or selected objects
- ctrl+ V = Paste an object or objects
- ctrl+ Z = Undo action or actions
- ctrl + Y = Re-do an action or actions
- ctrl + D = Duplicate object or objects in place
- ctrl+ G = Group objects
- ctrl+ shift+ G = Un-group grouped objects
- Del = delete an object or objects
Object Options:
Select object(s) and then perform the following action(s)…
Select object(s) and then perform the following action(s)…

I’ve been a 3D Printing enthusiast and an entrepreneur for many years now and it all started with Tinkercad for me. By learning the ins and outs of Tinkercad, you will not only be skilled in this particular program, but you will also have the foundational knowledge to progress and be successful at other 3D Printing programs. I currently work with Fusion 360 which is an advanced 3D Printing computer-aided design program. It also happens to be developed by Autodesk (the same company that bought Tinkercad in 2013) which is awesome because the progression from Tinkercad to Fusion 360 is a relatively smooth one.
On a business level, the 3D Printing space is a competitive one, but it it can’t still be a lucrative one. The purpose of this resource is to provide aspiring entrepreneurs and 3D Printing enthusiasts with various ideas on proven ways to make a profit using CAD and three dimensional printing machinery.
