So as I see it right now the only option is to go to one of the clones of AutoCAD that can run under Linux.

Good for them, I personally find it very hard to go back to older versions of AutoCAD, because to be honest, each new version is lately adding some extra useful tools that make themselves pretty indispensable once you get used to them. Nevertheless, a small firm in South Africa has proven itself successful in migrating away from Microsoft software (after some threads from Microsoft itself) and is running AutoCAD r14 under Debian GNU/Linux.

Does that solves the problem for MAC users? Not really, if the only thing you want is to run AutoCAD then you are fine, but you still depend on running a copy of Windows XP or vista to be able to use AutoCAD.Īutodesk doesn't seem to be willing to go back to a multiplatform release for AutoCAD so there is not much you can do apparently.

Macs with Intel based processors can run the Bootcamp software which enables Windows to run in your computer, or Parallels Desktop which allows you to switch from MAC OS to Windows without rebooting your computer. well most of us are, and there isn´t apparently a version of AutoCAD for GNU/Linux, or MAC. Is there a way to use AutoCAD if you don't want to use Windows? Have you ever thought of moving away from Microsoft completely? Yeah right! You are an Architect depending on the all-mighty AutoCad.
