    Hey everyone I was just wondering if Autodesk had an estimate of a support date for AutoCad on Windows 8. Thanks in advance.

    Hello Hector and welcome to the community!

     

    Unfortunately we're unable to provide an ETA on Windows 8 compatibility, however I can assure that we're working on it. I know that's not what you were looking for but it's the best that we can do at the moment. Please feel free to check out the Windows 8 Support page for more info / future updates.

    In the mean-time, I do have a work-around here if you need to get AutoCAD installed onto the system.  Just note that this is not supported and no additional support will be offered.

    Thank you so much. I don't plan on installing AutoCad on Win8 until it is supported. I really just need an estimate of when it will be supported. Even if it were to be a two-three month range that would be great. Again, thanks for your time.
