Common questions

CAD on Mac — FAQ

If you want AutoCAD-style 2D drafting and 3D modeling on a Mac without a subscription, iCADMac is built for exactly that: a Mac-native app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs that opens and saves DWG files natively, uses AutoCAD command names, and costs $925 one time (perpetual). Other Mac options: AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT have Mac versions but are sold by subscription only; DraftSight Professional is $299 per year and runs on Windows and Mac; BricsCAD runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and is sold by subscription or perpetual license. Choose iCADMac for a one-time purchase with US-based support; DraftSight or BricsCAD may fit better if one license must cover both Windows and Mac. Prices checked October 2026. On Windows, see progeCAD Professional.
Yes. iCADMac reads and writes DWG natively, so drawings created in AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT or progeCAD open without conversion and can be sent back in DWG. It also imports PDFs as editable DWG geometry.
No. iCADMac is a perpetual license — $925 once, and it keeps working. iCARE maintenance (new versions and priority support) is optional and can be renewed or skipped each year. You can try iCADMac free for 30 days first.
