Struggling with the fact that AutoCAD was nice enough to produce to versions for Mac based users; both the full version of AutoCAD and LT. These essentially work great and are much appreciated. When it comes to other versions in use in the industry, things get really frustrating. Fast. Its particularly frustrating because Mac's dominate the graphic, audio, and video production industries worldwide. If it involves creativity its been dominated by Mac users. There are good reasons for it as well. 

My dilemma is this; I need to work with clients who use AutoCAD Architecture. I only need to be able to edit their drawings (basic AEC objects) without exploding/destroying them forever. And I don't want to have to spend $1000 or more to buy windows, setup a partition, buy Parallels, and get back into that whole windows OS mess in general. Not to mention that I need Revit for the same type of thing, but have no Mac based options.

I've looked everywhere on the Autodesk website, and I can't find anything that tells me if Autocad can edit AEC objects created by Architecture. I know you need Archtiecture to create those AEC objects. But, that's not what I need to do. Just a simple page saying "NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT" would be awesome. 

Does anyone know to what extent AEC objects can be edited in regular Autocad 2015? Are there object enablers available (can't find info on that either)? Just a simple list of things you can and can't do would be wonderful. People have to collaborate, and this is important info. 

Thanks.
