Does anyone have any information on whether the new M1 chip MacBooks will get support?

Update on 12/18:

AutoCAD for Mac 2020/2021 has been declared as supporting Apple Silicon Mac with Rosetta 2 mode. The info is updated on the AutoCAD system requirement page.

=========================

Hi @davekyle ,

 

Currently AutoCAD for Mac does not support Apple M1 Mac models. We are working on it.

 

Once it is ready, we will deliver updates.

 

Thanks,
Wei

实际测试中,在MBP2020款M1上,系统版本为Big Sur11.0.1   

CAD for Mac 2021.1和2019.2 都无法正常绘图或者影响很大

安装和打开的过程中 好像没有触发Rosetta2的界面!但是安装CAD主程序的时候,异常的慢

原谅我昨天草率的判断,今天实际测试了一下在M1芯片的电脑上运行CAD,基本上我测试的功能都正常,流畅度也很OK!非常好,我能确定是M1电脑可以正常用兼容性的方式使用CAD.至于Rosetta 2,我并没有在MacOS系统里,找到任何标记.只在搜索里面找到这样一段日志:

translation is done
as preferred long in advance
rosetta idles

看来Rosetta 2真的很棒,像一个透明人一样的存在MACOS11.0和M1系统中,但却经常神出鬼没

Thanks very much for testing this out. Great to hear it’s working on the new M1 with Rosetta.

For the record, LT 2021 does install and run via Rosetta, but the translation causes various graphics issues that makes the program non-viable for reliable use.  You’ll need to wait for an official M1-coded version for professional use.

@ntrhll7 , If you see graphics issue on M1, please check if you have installed 2021.1 update.

Full Autocad 2021.1 appears to work quite well, based on a couple of large files I have worked on over the past few days - I have experienced no crashes and the only minor glitch I have had (including working with large hatches and xrefs) is having to restart to update pen setting locations as it wasn't finding the ctb files first time. It appears faster with these files than a 2018 i7 13" MacBook Pro.

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm trying AutoCAD 2021 LT on MacBook Pro with M1 proccessor.

Several dwg files that I have opened showed me sad results. 

The drawings are unrecognizable, the view is filed with colourful squares.

Is there a solution?

But you can try the trick from >>>>this<<<< post to solve the graphics problems.

Confirmed that updating to 2021.1 does indeed FIX major graphics issues on LT 2021.

 

Link is here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-l...

 

it was a pain to find it through knowledge-base (had to google search with "..") @wei503 

Also, update doesn't work from within app's "check for updates" function

Also, anyway to actually see what version you are running? "About" just provides "R.47...."
