ACAD for Mac

If you've heard the rumors over the past year, it looks like they are now verified and true. There is an iPhone 4 and Autodesk is now making AutoCAD for a Mac. Check it out here.

So, I have to say, when I first heard about the transition, I was all like WHOO HOO!! THAT IS SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!!

Well, then I got to thinking. And reading the reviews. And what I've read so far says it kinda sucks, it's a bit slow and unresponsive and it only comes in 64 bit (they got one thing right).

Then I really started thinking and I was like what? (insert valley girl speak here) like O.M.G. Like they did this for Mac? ACAD? Why not something innovative??? Hello, Revit?
Isn't this the same company that keeps promoting the h*ll out of BIM, how that's the future of design and then for Mac they roll out a product from the 1980's? Really?


Update: Before I receive any more threats about ADSK legal: No, I'm not a beta tester for ACAD for Mac nor do I have any notion, information, or whereabouts regarding what might or might not be a product beyond what I've seen on Mac-based blogs and what the guy in the box above told me.

And for the record, all of the Mac people I know are design professionals and creative types haven't designed out of CAD in over a decade. They've moved on.
