Does the 2022.2.1 update provide native support on M1?

David_Stacey · ‎01-18-2022

Hello all,

Wondering if the recently released 2022.2.1 AutoCAD for Mac update provides native support for Apple Silicon (M1) or if it still requires Rosetta 2?

It still runs under Rosetta 2 mode.

Thanks Maxim

I'll wait before I upgrade my hardware in that case. It is a shame Autodesk haven't released a roadmap for native support, as I don't classify native support as a new 'feature'. I'm assuming they're working on it, but it would be great if they could at least provide an estimated date (early 2022, mid 2022, late 2022 or sometime 2023....).

Anyone at Autodesk able to expand on this?

David,

Autodesk never discloses its plans, and I'm not sure if anyone at Autodesk will answer your question here.

@David_Stacey Why not join their Beta/Feedback groups and find out in advance and help shape the future of the program then https://feedback.autodesk.com/welcome/

Thanks Pendean. I don't believe the betas have roadmapped native support yet either. Really don't understand the secrecy of whether Autodesk are adding native platform support (or not). The M1 has been out for over a year and I don't think it's unreasonable for customers to ask Autodesk to announce 'we'll be adding native support in x months/years'. Anyway, I'll stick with my Intel Mac for the time being.

很遗憾的告诉2022.2.1 更新并没有提供对 Apple Silicon (M1) 的本机支持，它仍然需要 Rosetta 2编译运行！从软件开发的角度来看，如果适配 Apple Silicon，CAD Mac几乎需要重构！现在我们在M1上使用CAD2022for Mac，并没有什么性能上功能上的损失，是可正常流畅使用的！个人估计3-5年内 Autodesk可能都无法推出适配M1版本的Mac CAD。可能未来的某一天，我们大家都在Window Mac iPhone iPad Android上用网页的方式使用CAD的全量功能

I'm sorry but I can't read Japanese kanji. I presume you are telling me you can use it under Rosetta 2, which I already know. The answer for this topic is NO - AutoCAD for Mac is not a native app on Apple M1 Silicon and Autodesk has not yet released any public roadmap to enable native support (shame).
