System Requirements
AutoCAD for Mac needs a recent version of macOS and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, with the exact macOS versions supported varying by release year. A multi-core processor, at least 8 GB of RAM (more for large drawings) and several gigabytes of free disk space are sensible baselines. Check Autodesk's official system requirements for your specific version before installing.
FAQs
Is AutoCAD LT the same as full AutoCAD?
No. AutoCAD LT focuses on 2D drafting and documentation and does not include the 3D modelling and some automation tools of full AutoCAD. It uses the same DWG format, so files move easily between the two.
Can I try AutoCAD LT before subscribing?
Yes. Autodesk offers a free trial of AutoCAD LT through its official site, and students and educators may qualify for educational access. This page does not offer a free copy of the paid software.
