ThinkSecret has a story that AutoDesk may be considering a version of AutoCAD for Mac OS X. This would be an extremely positive event for the Mac platform. If you have any real personal interest seeing this product available for the Mac, I urge you to send a VERY POLITE letter to the email address in the story.

This would be soooo coool. I took two classes in AutoCAD and I love the application. It would be great to see it on OSX.

When was the last time they had a fully supported version for the Mac? I remember it from years ago (I think), but I can't remember the last time I heard anything about it...

Yeah, there was a first attempt at a port way back in ... geeze I was at NSA back then ... 91, 92?

We tried it on a state of the art Macintosh II with a monster Radius monitor, and the architects didn't find it a rewarding experience.

Hope this attempt is better!

You think they would offer a competitive upgrade from a Windows version to the new Mac version (assuming a Mac version happens)?

That wold be cool.

Now if AutoDesk would also consider Inventor and if SolidWorks would do the same, I could switch all of my machines at work back to the Mac and shut up all of the Pee Cee guys there.
