“Mac has gone from a consumer and student focus to a business platform,” and Apple’s move to Intel’s CPUs made it “feasible” for Autodesk to consider returning to the Mac ecosystem, explained Amar Hanspal, Autodesk senior vice president of platform solutions and emerging business. The company will also unveil AutoCAD WS, a free mobile version for Apple iOS devices, which will allow viewing and editing of AutoCAD designs on the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.Īlthough it’s been 18 years since the company abandoned AutoCAD development for Macintosh systems, Autodesk saw an opening for its flagship product after Apple abandoned its historic reliance on RISC-based PowerPC processors.
Autodesk announced on 31 August the planned release of AutoCAD for Mac, a native version of the company’s professional design and engineering software built to run natively on Mac OS X, and the first version of AutoCAD for an Apple platform since George H.W.
