Has anyone been successful in using a MacBook with VMWare and running Fusion 360 to do the designs and transfer them over to the table controller?

I have been running Fusion 360 from a Mac for about a year without issues.

Fusion360 is now in the App Store

As others have stated, you can definitely use your MacBook for designing and toolpath programming in Fusion 360. Once you post your programs, you can use a USB stick to transfer these files to your Windows computer with Mach3 to run the CrossFire.

Are you able to use vmware fusion to run Mach3 ? It should work.

Fusion 360 is in the App Store. I have been running it with no issues. I use Virtualbox to run a Windows 7 portion. Mach 3 works well in this configuration. I would think that VMWare would work well also

I run Fusion 360 on my Mac and then post to Mach3 using Fusion’s cloud posting. Then email my .tap file over to the laptop running the table.
