Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations, said in prepared remarks that AutoCAD for Mac has been a 'huge' hit and the company is 'thrilled' to have AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD WS as exclusives on the app store.Ĭopyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. It's a trend that Apple likes, not surprisingly. The company, which stopped distributing AutoCAD for the Mac from 1994 until last fall, responded to broadening interest by businesses in using devices besides PCs running Microsoft Windows, Hanspal says. That progam is expected to be available for download on Aug.

The company has been using it to distribute products such as its Sketchbook Pro for iPad, a popular drawing program that is priced at $4.99.Īutodesk's other Mac offering through the app store is AutoCAD WS for Mac, a simpler free program that is designed to enable users to view and collaborate using AutoCAD files. Nor is Apple's app store foreign territory for Autodesk. The company leans heavily on specialized resellers, for example, for distributing AutoCAD to specialized customers such as architectural and engineering firms. Sharing revenues with distributors is not a new concept for Autodesk. 'There is a price level you cannot exceed' at the online store, Hanspal says.

Autodesk has no immediate plans to use the store to distribute the updated full version of its flagship product, which is called AutoCAD 2012 for Mac and retains a hefty list price-$3,995.
