AutoCAD
The leading Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for detailed designs and drawings – AutoCAD
Autodesk AutoCAD offers engineers, civil engineers and architects advanced tools for the precise design and editing of 2D and 3D models.
With automation features, AutoCAD increases your efficiency by enabling AI-driven object placement, drawing comparisons, BOM creation and layout publishing. Customization options with AutoLISP, APIs and other apps create tailored workspaces that increase your productivity and meet your specific project requirements.
- Extensive functions
- Flexible collaboration
- Management of design data
Ideally suited for:
Extensive functions
Autodesk AutoCAD offers you numerous functions for optimizing and automating workflows.
AutoLISP and the Visual LISP IDE allow you to automate processes, while intelligent blocks and the Autodesk Assistant increase efficiency. Features such as “My Insights” and “Activity Insights” provide customized tips and detailed logs.
Flexible collaboration
AutoCAD facilitates collaboration with a wide range of functions. You can create and edit drawings online and share them in the cloud.
Drawings can be securely forwarded to team members who can access them from anywhere. The ribbon feature allows you to securely review DWG files and add feedback without altering the original drawing.
Management of design data
Streamline document review and approval workflows reliably with Autodesk Docs, your cloud-based document management solution and general data environment, which is also included in the AEC collection.
Toolsets
Serves with a selection of 65,000 intelligent electrical symbols, automatic wire numbering and component labeling as well as the generation and updating of user-defined reports.
Helps you with a standards-based component library, customizable object types and automation of tasks such as parts list creation.
Direct access to spatial data via FDO technology, processing of geodata and management of infrastructure facilities with database-based specialized shells.
Features a library of over 10,500 intelligent MEP objects, optimized workflows through individual palettes and multifunction bars as well as automatic updating of drawings.
Brings secure collaboration in a cloud-based data environment, faster and automated P&ID designs and automatic creation of piping isometrics directly from the 3D model.
Offers a library of over 8,800 architectural components, automatic creation of floor plans and fast placement of realistic building elements.
Features tools for improved image editing, editing of REM objects with AutoCAD standard commands and simplified workflows with vector tools
