there is no chrome OS version

you can look at this version of Autocad: https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad-mobile/overview

this is a very limited version

Your only choice is this on your webbrowser toy, err, "booK', but it is very very limited and not free https://web.autocad.com/

@pendean be careful with the term "toy".  In the 1980's many considered AutoCAD a toy (some still do).

 

For the OP, check out this link that reviews OnShape use with a $200 Chromebook.

 

I recently purchased a Chromebook.  I don't use it for CAD but find it an extremely useful for web surfing, email, writing reports, spreadsheet computations, downloading pictures from my camera and giving presentations (it has an HDMI port).  At $250 it starts up in less than 10 seconds and I can use it with the touch pad, touch screen or a mouse.  Awesome!

The navigation computers, which became overloaded during THE most critical phase of the moon landing, were of less memory and CPU power than this device you refer to as a "Toy". When/if they ever take over, I assume - and I believe fairly so - they'll come after YOU first!

Toy is right, no executables can run in the environment..what good is it to business? At this point, it has zero use, we're not going to use a $200 "machine" for email / spreadsheets and camera pictures then turn around to a real OS and continue work...silly IMHO

Why is this post listed as a solution. Instead of just shooting down the idea, why not wait until a solution is found. Using the web based version isn't practical because, even in the 2023 universe we're in now,m believe it or not, the internet is still not available everywhere.
I run my (OLD) version of AutoCad on my laptop and use it for business and everything else I need it for. Ive used the newer versions at some of the places I've worked but, I'm not going to pay to update my software every year and then have to figure out how to get all the improvements I have on my older version.
Give a man AutoCad, and he'll draw you a floor plan.
Give a man Revit and he'll build you a house.
Give Cadmama a couple of drinks and she'll have everyone singing Rockytop!

It is THE answer as chosen by the OP. The OP asked a question. They did not propose an idea. The question was answered to their satisfaction with the available facts.

Why are you telling us about this here in a thread about whether or not AutoCAD works on a Chromebook? That's a topic for the Previous Versions Support forum.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

The reason I brought  up using an older version on my laptop is because I'd like to be able to do the same thing on my Chromebook.

 

My particular issue was running my AutoCad on a Chromebook, whether it be 2010 or any other version.. None of them will work.  

 

I don't know if AutoCad LT is still out there in a newer version but, I doubt it will work on the Chromebook either.

 

The Chromebooks can have thier place in the field as well as in a classroom full of drafting/engineering/architectural students.  It saves them from having to fork out a few thousand bucks for a laptop that will run AutoCad.

 

I'm not a Chromebook fan or anything.  I'm typing this message on my PC laptop.   I'd just like to see AutoDesk step up and maybe make a version that students can run on Chromebooks and offer it at the student rate.

Autodesk designed AutoCAD and LT are desktop OS software packages: WindowsOS and MacOS based only. 

Chrome Books don't have the ability, part of their charm is low cost, which is also their handicap.

 

Autodesk does cater to mobile devices including Chrome books: they offer AutoCADMOBILE and AutoCadWEB for those users. Explore online, I'll get you started here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-run-autocad-chromebook/ 

 

BUT question: why in the year 2023 are you wanting to teach students to use 40-year-old antiquated low-paying-jobs-in-their-future when modern tools are everywhere today
