Installation of AutoCAD and Revit on Mac

[ak_revup]

I need to load both AutoCad and Revit on my computer, a MAC.  I know there is AutoCAD for Mac but not for Revit.  How should I approach this?  Should I download regular AutoCAD (for Windows) and run both applications in a Windows partition for compatibility sake?  How big should that partition be?  Or should I go ahead and use AutoCAD for Mac and if I do that does it run natively on OS X or do I still need to run it in a Windows partition via Bootcamp?

I would use Bootcamp and run AutoCAD and Revit in Windows.  The performance is much better.  I would not install Parallels to point to the Bootcamp partition because of this performance hit.  I would split the drive 70% Mac 30% Windows if you are using only AutoCAD and Revit on the Windows partition.  You can still save  AutoCAD/Revit files to the Mac partition.
