If someone can prove me wrong and show me how to add a ribbon and give me a nearly identical Windows experience, then I'll who heartedly apologize, but until then, the next version will be out next year like clockwork and probably nothing will be done. The feature of getting updates/upgrades/bugs isn't that great with Autodesk's history of throwing shit out at times. If you use the same product for 10 years that's 25,200 on the monthly plan, 16,800 on the yearly plan or 4,195 outright purchase. It could look different, sure, but until they add every identical command and even something basic as the new ribbon feature which I can't live without now, then avoid. AutoCad alone is: 4,195 outright purchase or 1,680 per year or 210 per month. Your best option is running AutoCAD on Windows through Parallels. I want the same behemoth of a program, this is a very poor offering. Which is nice, except it comes at the cost of a complete butchering of an industry standard program. I read that they wanted to give Mac users a "unique Mac-like experience". Literally there's basic commands on Windows that have no Mac counterpart. It's very backwards that I spend all day at work using the program one way then come home to use the same program except now I have to use different commands and options that are placed in different places. How can you make an industry standard program and leave features, commands & options out? I was excited to finally get a native Mac version and let me tell you, it's disappointing.

Bluebeam Revu is available to purchase on a Perpetual License or as an. I posted this under 2012 LT, but it still applies. You can also create 3D PDFs from AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks and SketchUp Pro.
