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.
