Autodesk is now officially supporting Apple Boot Camp, a component of the Mac OS X operating system that enables customers to run Windows on their Apple Hardware. Using Boot Camp you can create a separate hard drive partition on your Intel-based Mac on which you can install a Microsoft Windows OS. Once installed, you can choose to boot to either the Mac OS or the Windows OS. If you start the computer in Windows you can install and run Windows applications at native speeds.
The following products are now supported running in Boot Camp:
AutoCAD® 2010
Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2010
Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2010
AutoCAD® Inventor® Professional Suite 2010
AutoCAD® Inventor™ Suite 2010
Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2010
Autodesk® Revit® MEP 2010
Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2010
Here are solutions for each product group that provides more details and answers the most common questions:
Apple® Boot Camp Support for AutoCAD® 2010
Apple® Boot Camp Support for Autodesk® 3ds Max®
Apple® Boot Camp Support for Autodesk® Inventor®
Apple® Boot Camp Support for Autodesk® Revit® Products
Support is limited to only the products and versions listed in these solutions. For example, even though AutoCAD 2010 is supported, Boot Camp support does not automatically extend to AutoCAD LT or AutoCAD-based vertical products.
Note: Support for Boot Camp does not mean support for virtual environments like VMWare or Parallels. There is currently still no official support for running Autodesk products in a virtual environment.

Autodesk Design Review is not officially supported in Boot Camp. You may find that it works just fine but it wasn't tested like the other products.
