AutoCAD

CAD software to design anything—now with time-saving specialized toolsets, web and mobile apps
AutoCAD® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
Features
  • Draft and edit 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects.
  • Annotate drawings with text, dimensions, leaders, and tables.
  • Customize with add-on apps and APIs.
Includes the following toolsets:
+ AutoCAD Architecture

Adds features for architectural drawing, documentation, and schedules, and for automating drafting tasks.

Features:

  • Create floor plans, sections, elevations, and other building design drawings using specialized tools.
  • Additional features include walls, door, and windows.
  • Use 8,000+ intelligent architectural objects and styles to support AIA 2nd edition, BS1192 DIN 276, ISYBAU Long Format, ISYBAU Short Format, and STLB layer standards.
+ AutoCAD Electrical

Adds electrical design features to help you create, modify, and document electrical controls systems.

Features:

  • Create panel layouts, schematic diagrams, and other electrical drawings using specialized tools.
  • Use consistent project standards with drawings organized in a project-based structure.
  • Includes a library of 65,000+ intelligent electrical symbols to support AS, GB, IEC, IEC-60617, JIC, JIS, NFPA, and IEEE standards.
+ AutoCAD Map 3D

Incorporate GIS topology with AutoCAD so you can use and maintain CAD and GIS data for planning, design, and data management.

Features:

  • Create, maintain, and communicate mapping and GIS information within the AutoCAD drawing environment.
  • Use task-based tools to manage GIS data and aggregate it with design data.
  • Access spatial data stored in files, databases, and web services.
  • Use standard data schema, automated business workflows, and report templates for Electric North America, Electric Europe, Water, Wastewater, and Gas industries.
+ AutoCAD Mechanical

Adds a library of standards-based parts and tools to help you create, modify, and document mechanical designs for manufacturing.

Features:

  • Automate mechanical engineering tasks, such as generating machine components, dimensioning, and creating bills of material.
  • Create parts, assemblies, and other drawings for product design using specialized tools.
  • Use 700,000+ intelligent manufacturing parts, features, and symbols to support ISO, ANSI, DIN, JIS, BSI, CSN, and GB standards.
+ AutoCAD MEP

Adds features to help you draft, design, and document MEP building systems in an AutoCAD environment.

Features:

  • Create accurate construction documentation of MEP systems design.
  • Use task-based tools to create MEP drawings for building systems.
  • Use 10,500+ intelligent MEP objects to support AIA 2nd edition, BS1192 Descriptive, and BS1192 – AUG Version 2 standards, and DIN 276, ISYBAU Long Format, ISYBAU Short Format, and STLB layer standards.
+ AutoCAD Plant 3D

Adds features to help you produce P&IDs, and then integrate them into a 3D plant design model.

Features:

  • Generate and share isometrics, orthographics, and materials reports.
  • Create schematic diagrams, plant layouts, and other drawings for plant design using specialized tools.
  • Includes a library of 400+ intelligent plant objects such as equipment templates, support templates, and structural members to support 40 standards, including ANSI and DIN.
+ AutoCAD Raster Design

Adds raster-to-vector tools to help you convert raster images into DWG™ objects. Edit scanned drawings in a familiar AutoCAD environment.

Features

  • Despeckle, bias, mirror, and touch up your images.
  • Use standard AutoCAD commands on raster regions and primitives. Easily erase raster images, lines, arcs, and circles.
  • Create lines and polylines from raster images and convert raster files into vector drawings.
  • Show and analyze geo images in Civil 3D civil engineering software and the AutoCAD Map 3D toolset.
+ AutoCAD mobile app

Take the power of AutoCAD wherever you go.

Features:

  • View, create, edit, and share AutoCAD drawings on mobile devices—anytime, anywhere.
  • Work on the latest drawings right at the jobsite.
  • Access updates in real time.
+ AutoCAD web app

Access AutoCAD from any computer.

Features:

  • View, create, and edit AutoCAD drawings.
  • Work on the latest drawings from anywhere.
  • Access updates in real time.
