AutoCAD Mac student

AutoCADHas finally been released on Mac and even better, students and educators can get a three year license absolutely free. This means you can use AutoCAD completely for free for three years although a watermark is added to designs. Alternatively, students and educators in the US and Canada can purchase an unlimited license with no watermark for €395 - a 90% discount on the full price.

Both offers are an absolute steal when you consider the full version costs almost €4, 000. Note that the free offer is for personal and educational use only and requires you to sign-up as an educator or student.

The new native version of AutoCAD for Mac looks great too and takes full advantage of Mac OS X, including use of Cover Flow, Multi-Touch gestures, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. You can of course create and edit DWG files natively and you can collaborate on projects across platforms with customers, clients, colleagues etc.
