According to AutoCad’s support documents it does support the Mac, including the current version of macOS Monterey 12

But the bottom line is that these developers must decide to fully support the macOS platform and some have not. The Mac is becoming more and more popular. As an architect you might want to contact AutoDesk and lobby them for full support.

A professional should not be using theoretical solutions or untested/unreleased software. The OP says he wants to buy a MacBook and that means it would be an M1 MacBook, which means Windows cannot be installed under any circumstances at the present time for mission critical work, period.


Of course, the OP could buy an older, preowned or refurbished Intel MacBook and install Windows on that machine.
