AutoCAD 2017 for Mac was just released. As the self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things AutoCAD I simply had to take the new version for a test drive, and I’m glad I did! If you’re among the group of people who thought AutoCAD 2017 had already been released – you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. The Windows version of AutoCAD was indeed released back in the spring. What I’m here to share is the newly released Mac version of AutoCAD.

My first impressions of the new release are very positive. The experience is absolutely Mac-centric, but is also introduces many familiar workflows from the Windows version.

In fact one of the most obvious updates is the user interface itself. More Intuitive and Customizable Interface Autodesk From the new File Tabs to the redesigned Tool Sets, things are simply easier to find in AutoCAD for Mac 2017. While I’ve eventually found the tool I needed in earlier versions, I often found myself searching for tools during even the simplest tasks. Completing a mix of drafting tasks in 2017 I rarely found myself searching for tools/commands. Beyond the overall update of the interface, I was very excited to see how much easier it was to customize it.

A small gear next to every tool set panel makes it easy to add or remove tools. Beyond the default panels, it’s also extremely easy to create your own panels with just a few clicks.

PDF Functionality Among the signature features added to AutoCAD 2017 for Windows was the ability to convert PDFs into AutoCAD DWGs. This functionality is now mirrored in the Mac version. Testing the Mac version of this feature, I found the drawings it created from PDF matched what the Windows version created. In essence, any vector-based PDF (like those created by AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Visio, etc) are easily converted to DWG files. MacOS Sierra Support It’s likely assumed, but AutoCAD 2017 for Mac supports Apple’s latest macOS Sierra. Beyond basic support for the latest operating system release, we also get support for some of its newest features like split view. Wrapping Up AutoCAD 2017 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac is available now.
