Autodesk have had over 20,000 responses to a recently-launched survey aimed at gauging user interest in an OS X version of AutoCAD.

The survey asks users a series of questions related to their use of Autodesk software, their use of Macs in the workplace, and their level of interest in an OS X version of AutoCAD. The survey also asks several questions about whether such features as command line interface and 3D modelling/editing are considered critical to a "first" version of AutoCAD for OS X, and specifically whether a product along the lines of Autodesk's more limited AutoCAD LT rather than a full version of AutoCAD would be sufficient for Mac users.

Although nothing is set in stone yet this will come as good news to the many people who are already running AutoCAD on their Macs through Boot Camp or virtualisation software such as VMWare or Parallels.

Anyone wanting to fill out the survey can find it here.
