AutoCAD on a MAC?

[CADken]

Like the subject says, can I get AutoCAD on a MAC? What are my options?

 

In a nutshell my current laptop (Toshiba Satellite A135, Windows 7 32-bit, 2gb RAM) has taken a dive for the 5th time in 3.5 yrs. and my boss has suggested I "shop around". In the meantime I've been given a MAC Powerbook to complete my regular office duties (email, some graphic arts projects, etc.), I'm pleased with the MAC as far as graphic arts is concenred - but can it handle AutoCAD?

 

Just trying to get some ideas.

Autocad doesnt support MAC but you can install vm fusion which is a virtual machin then install windows within that and run CAD It will be slow if your processor doesnt supoprt hardware virtualisation.

So far this is what I'm finding - I'm not looking to have to go through leaps and bounds to run AutoCAD, so I'm going to press them for a PC...

Maybe its heading back after a long hiatus.

It would be a nice addition.

It is coming back in October of this year. I currently run LT on my Mac in Fusion and it works great. No leaps and bounds to get anything working.

 

When October comes, I am upgrading to the Mac version because i want to ditch windows.
