Although the partial link above and factoid about the product are there, not enough

of the link is 'live' to read actual content from AutoCAD (2020/21) page; while two exist..

Thought to look and see what actual link exists; above barely touches M1 Apple Silicon

while covers older Intel-based Mac & macOS versions; more fully after Windows section.

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

 

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,
