Autodesk: Help Us Shape AutoCAD for Mac

Shaan Hurley, technology platform evangelist for AutoDesk, has thrown down a hint about a major software development for Mac OS X. The company’s AutoCAD software is a last of the “I have to use Windows, because I need Program X” applications, and moving it to Mac OS X could have major impacts for people working in industrial design, engineering, and architecture.

Hurley says he’s now using both Windows and a Mac, and he would love feedback in a survey to “help shape the future of the next generation of AutoCAD products for the Apple Mac OS X Operating System and hardware.” That’s promising. Even though this was posted on April 1, Hurley assures that this is no April Fool’s joke.

Any hardcore AutoCAD folks who would make the switch out there?
