AutoCAD 360 Optimized for iPad Air & iPad mini with Retina Display and AutoCAD 2014 for Mac is here!
**Feeling the Apple Love – User Demand Drives Continued Autodesk Commitment**
Autodesk is thrilled to announce that AutoCAD 360 has become the first professional software application to be fully optimized for the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display. The iPad's new A7 chip, equipped with a 64-bit desktop-class architecture, offers designers and engineers an unprecedented level of performance right from the start when using AutoCAD 360.
"We're absolutely thrilled to be the first professional app ready for the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display," said Jonathan Seroussi, director of AutoCAD web and mobile. "From a user's standpoint, navigating and editing complex designs will feel smoother and far more enjoyable. Rendering times, for instance, are now twice as fast during both navigation and editing."
In addition to faster rendering, opening drawings has seen a significant boost in speed, and selecting objects is now twice as swift.
With over 5.5 million downloads on the App Store, more than 40 million uploaded drawings, and over 1 million active monthly users on iOS alone, AutoCAD 360 remains one of Autodesk's most popular mobile apps. The optimized version for iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display will soon be available on the App Store.

This latest compatibility update reflects Autodesk's unwavering dedication to enhancing user experiences on Apple platforms. Alongside AutoCAD 360, Autodesk has already updated seven of its mobile apps to take full advantage of iOS7, including BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 Glue, Sketchbook Mobile, 123D Creature Show, InfraWorks mobile, and Pixlr. These updates bring users enhanced functionality across the board.
**AutoCAD 2014 for Mac is Here!**
To further demonstrate its commitment to Apple platforms, Autodesk has launched AutoCAD 2014 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2014 for Mac. Available globally today in English and French, these releases offer groundbreaking improvements tailored specifically for Mac users.
With support for Retina displays on the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro, synchronization with Autodesk 360, and numerous other enhancements, AutoCAD 2014 for Mac stands as the most powerful 2D and 3D CAD application for Mac users. It’s one of the first major professional software applications to include Retina display support, ensuring an unmatched user experience. Additional highlights include synchronization with the Autodesk 360 cloud platform, Package Drawing (similar to eTransmit on Windows), overall performance boosts, and refined UI elements.
"AutoCAD for Mac users are incredibly passionate, and we've worked diligently to incorporate their top requests and feedback into this release," said Amy Bunszel, vice president of AutoCAD products at Autodesk. "Designers will notice a marked improvement in efficiency and collaboration, allowing them to focus more on their creative work."
Key enhancements in AutoCAD 2014 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2014 for Mac include:
- **Retina Display Support:** AutoCAD now delivers crisp lines and text, making tools easier to spot and offering greater detail even at high zoom levels.
- **Drawing Sync:** Easily access files directly from Autodesk 360 and synchronize them between your computer and the cloud.
- **Package Drawing:** Similar to eTransmit in AutoCAD for Windows, this feature allows users to gather related files into a compressed folder for effortless sharing or storage.
- **Improved Online Help:** Enhanced assistance features to ensure quicker problem-solving.
- **Default Save Settings:** Users can now set a default save version for drawings.
- **Software Security Enhancements:** Improved protection against unauthorized or malicious AutoLISP applications.
"This latest release of AutoCAD for Mac introduces features that will significantly aid my daily workflow," shared Jim LaPier, founder of IMPACT Designs, LLC, a U.S.-based consultancy focused on AutoCAD for Mac training and consulting. "The Retina display support makes it the highest-resolution CAD program yet, reducing eye strain and providing crystal-clear visuals. My clients are amazed by how sharp their designs appear on my laptop! Additionally, help menus have been streamlined, and previously hidden settings are now front-and-center. All in all, it’s a fantastic upgrade."
