Mount the AutoCAD 202x for Mac or AutoCAD LT 202X for Mac installation disk image and right-click on "Install Autodesk AutoCAD 202x (or LT) for Mac" and select "Show Package Contents", like this:

Next, Navigate to /Contents/Helper/ and double click on Setup. This should show a prompt for Rosetta to be installed.

Once Rosetta has been installed, then you can proceed with the installation.
