    <description>AutoCAD and LT for MAC are general drafting tools made for no specific industry: think paper/pen on a computer.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Autodesk will never add a Wall Tool or Electrical Design or HVAC ducting or Topo Grading or much else to a general drafting tool aimed at no industry on purpose.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you want ARCHITECTURAL features from Autodesk today, you will need to be on a Windows Platform with REVIT or AutoCADARCHITECTURE software packages.&lt;BR /&gt;Other software vendors fill that AEC gap on a MAC platform quite nicely as you so nicely advertised.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Know your software and the target audience.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;HTH&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I just downloaded my 30 day trial of Autocad for Mac however the simple "wall" command is not present. How do I draw a wall in this new version? Is it a different command now versus in windows? I understand I can obviously draw 2d lines, however I am looking for the simplified "wall add" command where you select your wall type and draw from there. Please help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;TIA.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I was using autocad architecture on my windows software however I now have&lt;BR /&gt;an OS X operating system. Is Autocad Architecture compatible with Macs?&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Krysten,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In order to be able to use AutoCAD Architecture on Mac you need to run it on &lt;A href="https://support.apple.com/boot-camp" target="_blank"&gt;Bootcamp partition&lt;/A&gt;, or inside Windows virtual machine using virtualization software, such as &lt;A href="https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/" target="_blank"&gt;Parallels Desktop&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have 2017 AutoCAD for Mac&amp;nbsp; and just downloaded the 2019 version to see if they'd made some good changes (wall tool) that would help. They didn't.&amp;nbsp; The multiline command is there but I can't find a simple way to assign wall thickness.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;AutoCAD is a slow tedious program to use for 2D architectural drawings.&amp;nbsp; You can always use Revit to build a set of plans,&amp;nbsp; that too is a lot of work but better than AutoCAD .&amp;nbsp; I discovered a good fast program that really works for 2D submittal plan sets.&amp;nbsp; It's so fast that I can take on Addition/Remodels or residential new construction jobs and get them finished quickly, especially when compared to AutoCAD&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I actually gave up on using AutoCAD&amp;nbsp; for architectural plans and went to a&amp;nbsp; program by Ashlar Vellum called Graphite.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It has everything you need and works far better than AutoCAD&amp;nbsp; with the same precise results sans the constant headaches.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For instance:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Has a self healing wall tool.&amp;nbsp; You can draw in any direction,&amp;nbsp; intersect walls anywhere and they self heal.&amp;nbsp; You can change the wall thickness instantly by typing it in&amp;nbsp; a dialog box.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; If you want to move an object or text&amp;nbsp; you just click on a text annotation for instance,&amp;nbsp; it is surrounded by a red&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;box&amp;nbsp; and you simply put the cursor on the box and drag it to the new position.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Setting dimension text style and arrowhead size&amp;nbsp; and style is in the dimension pulldown menu. You can set your preferences right there without chasing it around like AutoCAD.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; Once you do a basic drawing of a floor plan, elevation, section, site plan, or what have you.&amp;nbsp; you save the 1:1 drawing as a scaled file and assign it a paper size (24x36 for me).&amp;nbsp; At that point you can collect relevant sections of other plans you've drawn (sections,&amp;nbsp; code text,&amp;nbsp; wall , foundation, roof sections/plan views)&amp;nbsp; and scatter them outside of the paper space where you have quick access to them.&amp;nbsp; Just copy the relevant parts for the new plan and paste them in.&amp;nbsp; Moving them to just the right spot is super fast.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Using this method I can sometimes complete a detailed and submittal ready page in as little as 2-4 hrs.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Attached is an elevation I did for an insurance job.&amp;nbsp; The house had burnt to the ground.&amp;nbsp; The insurance adjuster needed a full set of construction ready plans so they could accurately figure out the true replacement cost.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bottom line is everything works well with Ashlar Vellum Graphite V12.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I looked for a long time for a program like this.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At the very least if you like using autocad,&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;the wall tool alone is worth the program cost.&amp;nbsp; Graphite makes good DWG export files so it's easy to import your floor plan&amp;nbsp; to autocad and go from there.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
