AutoCAD for Mac Available, and Free!

Autodesk has just announced AutoCAD for Mac is now available, after first announcing it back in August.  Even more impressive, it’s free for 3 years, if you can live with a little watermark.  Otherwise, educational institutions can get it (in a Perpetual license) for only $395.

Students and educators have 2 smart options for getting their hands on AutoCAD for Mac. You can download the software for free* on the Education Community or purchase it with a perpetual license and no watermarks for 90%** off suggested retail price from the Autodesk Store.

Way to go Autodesk!  Lots of companies offer educational discounts, but it’s typically through 3rd parties. I’ve never seen anyone offer a “perpetual” license for 90% off.

Education Community.
