AutoCAD is back on Mac

Good news for current users of Autodesk's flagship software, AutoCAD: in October this year, it will be making its long awaited comeback to the Mac's OS X platform.

Yesterday, it was announced that Autodesk have decided to release their now industry standard AutoCAD application on the Mac. This is the first time that the software has appeared on the Mac since 1992, in which time there have been 13 releases only available to Windows users. With over 10 million users worldwide, there has been increasing demand from users to bring back the Mac version, which has in turn lead to feverish speculation amongst the AutoCAD community. Now the speculation can be laid to rest.

As well as the OS X version, Amar Hanspal, Autodesk senior vice-president, has announced an iOS application that is designed for Apple's mobile devices. AutoCAD WS will allow users to download their drawings from the cloud, view their designs on a portable device such as an iPhone or iPad and make small adjustments while on the move.
