Document

Document Designs Quickly and Efficiently with AutoCAD

Drive your projects from concept to completion with the powerful documentation tools in AutoCAD® software. Work faster with automation, management, and editing tools that minimize repetitive tasks and speed your time to completion.

Reduce Design Revision Time with Parametric Drawing
Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically.

Organize Sheet Sets

Organization isn't a luxury. The AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager organizes your drawing sheets, reduces steps to publish, automatically creates layout views, links sheet set information into title blocks and plot stamps, and performs tasks across a sheet set so everything is in one convenient place.

Save Time with Annotation Scaling
Spend less time creating and managing multiple items across multiple layers. With annotation scaling tools, you can create a single annotative-type object that automatically resizes to reflect the current viewport or model-space scale.

Easily Manipulate Text

Now you can easily manipulate text by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type. Adjust the text's appearance as needed using familiar tools common in text-editing applications, including paragraph and column tools to achieve professional-quality formatting.

Create and Edit Multiple Leaders

With multileader tools, creating and editing leaders is easy. Define multileader styles to ensure consistency across leaders, add multiple leader lines to a single leader object, and even include bubbles or blocks as leader content.

Automate Table Creation and Maintenance

Increase your productivity by automating the tedious task of creating and maintaining tables. You can define table styles to easily apply consistent table formatting including fonts, colors, borders, and much more.

Quickly and Easily Extract Data

Quickly and easily extract property data from objects in drawings (including blocks and attributes) and drawing information with the Data Extraction wizard. The extracted data can then be automatically output to a table or an external file.

Link Excel Data to AutoCAD Designs

Easily link Excel data to your AutoCAD designs for consistency and efficiency. Data links can be updated in both directions, eliminating the need to update tables or external spreadsheets independently. All linked information can easily be kept current and in sync automatically.

Standardize Drawings with Dynamic Blocks
Save time and standardize drawings with ease. With Dynamic Blocks, you no longer have to redraw repetitive standard components, and you can reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process. Dynamic Blocks make individual block geometry editable and eliminate the need to define a new block for every variation of shape and size.

Speed Layer Management
Create and edit layer properties faster, and reduce errors at the same time. With the Layer Dialog box, changes are instantly reflected in the drawing as they are made in the dialog.

Save Time with Dynamic Prompts and Menus

Focus on the design, not the tools. Dynamic Input displays a command line type of prompt right at the cursor so you can launch commands, view dimensions, and enter values without looking at the command line. With the Quick Properties menu you can dramatically save time by viewing and modifying relevant object properties right at your cursor.

Efficient User Interface Eases Working with Multiple Files

Working with several files doesn't have to be painful anymore. The Quick View feature uses thumbnails in addition to file names, so you can visually find and open the correct drawing file and layout even faster than before. Within the Menu Browser you can also quickly browse files, examine thumbnail images, and get detailed information about file size and file creator.

Communicate

Communicate Quickly and Easily with AutoCAD

Share critical design data securely, efficiently, and accurately with AutoCAD® 3D CAD software. Experience the benefits of native DWG™ support, one of the world's most widely used design data formats, allowing you to keep everyone in the loop at all times. Take your ideas to the next level with presentation-ready graphics, rendering tools, and the best plotting and 3D printing capabilities in the business. It's communication at its best.

Save and Share Files with DWG
Save and share files with confidence. DWG™ technology from Autodesk is the authentic and accurate way to store and share design data when working with anyone in the industry. Nothing offers more integrity and reliability for your data.

Enhanced PDF Support
Sharing and reusing designs has never been easier thanks to enhanced PDF support within AutoCAD. Publishing improvements include smaller file sizes and TrueType font support. And new import and underlay capabilities mean you can bring PDF files directly into AutoCAD drawings.

Publish and Import DWF Files Within AutoCAD

With built-in tools to publish and import DWF™ files within AutoCAD, collaborating on projects is more seamless than ever. Autodesk® Design Review DWF viewing and markup software is the free, integrated, digital solution for clients or vendors to view, print, and mark up designs without needing the original software.

Create Presentation-Ready Graphics with Autodesk Impression 3
Supercharge your design presentations with a hand-drawn look. Autodesk® Impression software lets you create compelling presentation-ready graphics directly from your DWG and DWF files.

(Available to subscription customers only)

Create 3D Models with Photorealistic Rendering

With the latest in 3D rendering technology, you can create stunning models in less time. Capabilities include a slider control that graphically displays the trade-off between time and rendering quality.

Send an AutoCAD Model to a 3D Printer
Do more than just visualize your designs-make them real. Whatever you're designing can now be made into a physical prototype through a 3D printer, either your own or through a connected service provider.

Create Camera Animations with ShowMotion

With ShowMotion® technology, you have the power to create camera animations to navigate through your design. The ShowMotion control panel displays thumbnail images of the view categories and view shots saved in the drawing.

Explore

Explore Your Ideas in Almost Any Shape Imaginable

Effective design requires being able to quickly and easily explore your ideas. 3D AutoCAD® software provides the capabilities to shape, expand, and visualize your ideas unlike ever before.

Unleash Your Imagination with Free-form Design Tools
You now have the power to design ideas in almost any form you can imagine. Simply push/pull faces, edges, and vertices to model complex shapes, add smooth surfaces, and much more.

Create and Edit 3D Solids and Surface with Ease

Shape your ideas in 3D just like you have in 2D. With an easy-to-learn environment for creating both solids and surfaces, you can now create and edit 3D shapes with the familiarity of 2D tools.

Create Photorealistic Rendered Images

Visualize your ideas like never before. Choose from more than 300 materials, apply photometric lighting, and control the display to create highly accurate, photorealistic rendered images.

Walk or Fly Through a Model with 3D Navigation

Walk or fly through a model with the click of a button. Quickly rotate and orient any solid or surface model with the Autodesk® ViewCube® 3D navigation widget. Pan, center, and zoom on any object with the Autodesk® SteeringWheels® 3D navigation feature.
