Autodesk has announced plans to release its legendary professional design and engineering software AutoCAD for the Macintosh. The software will be available this fall. The company has also announced a mobile application that will enable AutoCAD users to adjust their designs using iOS devices in the field.
AutoCAD combines design and drafting tools in a graphical user interface designed to be intuitive for Mac users. It supports Mac OS X technologies like Cover Flow and support for multi-touch gestures on Apple laptop trackpads, the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. AutoCAD for Mac lets users work in the DWG file format; it’s downwardly compatible with DWG files created in older, PC-only versions of the software. An Application Programming Interface (API) provides customization features for tailor-built workflows.
Autodesk has also announced plans to offer AutoCAD for Mac for free to students through the Autodesk Education Community.
