Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Tshewang,

AutoCAD 2017 is not supported on macOS Catalina, so you will not be able to install it on that new OS,
On Catalina you can install and use 2018, 2019 and 2020 versions jf AutoCAD for Mac.

Thank you for your support. Autocad for Mac 2018 works well but when I try opening drawings it slows down. The speed isn’t fast enough to explore autocad 2018. It takes almost 3-4 minutes just to launch autocad.

Have you installed latest update (2018.3) for 2018 version? You can find this update in your Autodesk account page: https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/updates
