I want to buy MacBook Air with m1 chip for using mechanical designing software like autocad, solidworks, pro E, solid edge, Caria v5 and NX10.
Do not pruchase the M1 MacBook Air for these intense design software packages — because the M1 AIr has no fan. Purchase the M1 MacBook Pro instead, which has a brighter screen, and a fan to cool it. As stated by others here, check with the respective vendors about their design software, and compatibility with Big Sur on Apple M1.

Does MacBook Air M1 chip support parallel installation and working of windows 10 with boot camp ?
It's in beta. No boot camp.
Same question

You will need to contact each of those developers and ask them.

Do you have any evidence that Windows 10 will soon be available on M1 Macs via Parallels?
People are already running windows 10 on the M1 MacBook Air. It’s just not the “official” install.

That’s the ARM version of Windows. Apps are more likely to have native Mac M1 support than they are to have Windows on ARM support. When people talk about Windows, they mean all their Windows apps from years gone by. They absolutely don’t mean Windows on ARM - not ever. And it isn’t just “not official”, it’s flat-out illegal. People can do that on the internet, but no VM vendors can support it.
It is not impossible to have Intel Windows 10 in a VM running
on the M1 chip, although it would not be "virtualized" in yhe
true sense of the term. Back in the days of yore I was running
Windows NT and 2000 on a PowerPC Mac via emulation
with Virtual PC.
Now, how efficient modern OS like Windows 10 and associated
apps would work in emulation on an M1 remains to be seen.
As to how soon something would actually be available, well,
marketing and sales will always say "soon".
I m looking for more information about this too. I want to buy a MacBook Air 16GB 256 to use with Autocad, sketchup and photoshop. but I m afraid.... anyone using it now? or anyone using Mac mini m1 already for it also? I 'm choosing between those.
Check with the vendors to verify if they support the new MacBook Air
and the M1 and more importantly macOS Big Sur. They will know better
than anyone else.
Does MacBook Air support the designing software like AutoCad, solidworks, Catiav5, solid edge,pro E And NX10
