Change Interface Design AutoCAD 2021 for Mac

benjamin_burchardtVD56S — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 16:28:31 GMT

Hello,

how can I change the Interface design of AutoCad 2021 (Mac) to the UI-Design of AutoCad 2021 for Win?
I am a teacher, whos working with a mac but my students are working with windows computers an AutoCAD. So I wanna have the same UI-Design on my Mac as my students have on their WIN Computers.

Thanks alot and best regards,

Ben Burchardt

Hi Ben,

@benjamin_burchardtVD56S ,

It's not possible, unfortunately...

But you can install Windows on your Mac and run AutoCAD for Windows on it:

- use Bootcamp partition or visualization software on Intel Mac

- use virtualization software on Mac with M1 (ARM) chip

Hi Maxim,

thanks alot!

may Autodesk will fix that UI thing in a later version.
I know, that in other modelling/drawing softwares (like Rhino) its not that hard to change between WIN and MAC interface on Mac. so interface guidelines from Apple or Microsoft can't be the reason.
Anyway - thank you!

Wishing for it (or just posting around here) will not change anything: let Autodesk know your thoughts by actively asking for it where they look for user feedback, here is the link https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback
