Almost a year ago we told you of a survey Autodesk was conducting regarding the UI
and printing capabilities of Autocad with Mac users, the first confirmation of
Autodesk finally working on a version for this platform.
Federico Viticci from Macstories posted several screen shoots of Sledgehammer, the
first Beta of Autocad for Mac OSX, running on a 64-bit machine. The UI presents
several changes from what we were used to on the Windows version, and I'm happy
to see mouse gestures (supported by Macbook.s touchpad and the Magic Mouse).

Not much details out there, but we do have a meeting with an Autodesk rep in the
following weeks, when we will try to get you more details.

In the meanwhile, take a look at the following screen shoots and tell us what you
think: Is Autodesk going in a good direction with this new version (more than an
adaptation) of Autocad for Mac? Does the UI seem usable for you? What would you add?
