Comments like that from software companies are left over from the PowerPC days. Any Intel Mac running any version of Windows natively (aka Bootcamp) is absolutely no different than any other typical PC running Windows natively.
Now what they are probably referring to is that generally CAD programs are optimized around professional NVIDIA Quatro or ATI FireGL graphics cards, with very little or no optimization support for the consumer level cards found in nearly all personal computers. Most Macs, along with nearly all PCs sold to the general public, come with consumer-grade graphics cards. What this means is that while the program will still work, it won't work as efficiently as it would on a workstation computer.
