M1 MacBook and Rosetta

[DaveK671]

Hi folks

I’m very keen on moving to a MacBook Air m1 but I can’t seem to find much info on the compatibility of some programs. I use Autodesk autocad predominantly, does anyone know if this runs on rosetta2?

cheers

Dave

Haven't seen anything about Autocad, maybe ask customer support or check their own forums (if they have one)? It's likely they know best.

Cheers for the quick response. I asked on the autocad forums but got one reply saying nah and one saying yes. Thought I’d ask here as it seems a much more active forum

Any x86 app will run via Rosetta.

I’d suggest asking about autocad on the Mac rumours forums where there is a bigger Mac user base.

It should work and I’d expect performance to be ‘fine’ unless it is some worried edge case. Other 3D modelling software seems to run fine.
