Autocad User Interface Mac Port Of

For some history regarding the original Mac port of AutoCAD, see the first part of my interview with John Walker youll need to scroll way down or just search for Macintosh.

To clarify something about this release, it is not AutoCAD LT it has full 3D editing capabilities and support for applications.

The overall feature set is pretty comparable with that of AutoCAD 2011 for Windows, although you will clearly find some gaps, for now.

Notable omissions include layer states, layer filters, the Sheet Set Manager and DWFDGNPDF underlay support.

But were doing our best to provide a core set of features that will allow Mac users to take full advantage of AutoCAD running natively on OSX.

Another significant change: the user interface has been modified to suit the platform.

I dont yet have a Mac, myself although Im about to buy a new system and suspect that the sensible choice, at this stage, would be to get a Mac (albeit one that makes heavy use of Boot Camp:-) - so Ive had to borrow the below image to show you what it looks like.

And heres the launch video accompanying the announcement, for your viewing pleasure.

With the same breath well, in the same Press Release, at least we announced a product called AutoCAD WS, a new incarnation of Project Butterfly for iPhone, iPad and iPad Touch.

I have a call scheduled with Tal Weiss, who kindly shared some information once before on the nature of Project Butterly, to understand the architectural differences that have come with the move to iOS.

Ill be publishing the details of that discussion in the coming weeks.
