Product Description

Autodesk AutoCAD software helps design professionals to better communicate their 2D and 3D design ideas. Users can create 3D designs, speed documentation, and collaborate with more ease.

From the Manufacturer

Autodesk AutoCAD 2014 software connects and streamlines your design workflow like never before. New Design Feed tools bring social collaboration to your design, enabling greater involvement with project stakeholders. Dozens of time-saving enhancements and AUGI wish list items help speed your everyday workflow. Available within all Autodesk Design Suites, AutoCAD helps power your entire workflow from concept to completion. And with live maps, geolocation, and powerful new reality capture capabilities, AutoCAD connects your design ideas to the real world around you.

Design Features

Live Maps view larger

• Live maps (new) – Connect your design to the real world around you through a coordinate system library that introduces live maps directly inside the AutoCAD canvas.
• Reality capture (enhanced) – Point cloud functionality is enhanced to support the ability to attach point cloud project or scan files, including RCP and RCS file formats.
• Surface curve extraction – Extract isoline curves through a specified point on a surface or face of a solid to determine the contour lines of any shape.
• Context-sensitive PressPull – Extrude and offset curves, creating surfaces and solids. Use the Multiple option to select multiple objects within a single PressPull operation.
• Autodesk SketchBook Designer for AutoCAD – Adds integrated illustration, painting, and image manipulation capabilities to enhance your AutoCAD workflow.
• 3D free-form design tools – Generate design ideas in almost any form imaginable with AutoCAD design features. Push/pull faces, edges, and vertices to model complex shapes, add smooth surfaces, and more.
• Introductory 3D workspace – A streamlined set of 3D modeling and visualization functionality enables you to quickly access the most essential tools.
• Surface analysis – Get a clear understanding of the continuity between different surfaces.
• In-canvas viewport controls – New viewport controls enable you to change viewport settings, views, and visual styles directly on the viewport canvas.
• 3D associative array – Define arrayed objects when designing in 3D. Rectangular, polar, and path associative arrays enable you to array selected objects in 3D space.
• Editable UCS icon – Select the UCS icon and use the multifunctional grips to change the UCS. Move the origin and rotate it around the X, Y, or Z axis.
• Autodesk Inventor Fusion – Enables you to flexibly edit and validate models from almost any source, helping you further experience the benefits of easy-to-use 3D in the native DWGTM format.

Documentation Features

Intelligent Command Line

• Intelligent command line (enhanced) – The command line interface now includes AutoCorrect, Adaptive Suggestions, and Synonym Suggestions. AutoComplete now supports mid-string search.
• File tabs (new) – File tabs provide a fast and visual way to switch between open drawings or to create and open additional drawings.
• Section and Detail views – Easily access tools for creating Section and Detail views. Choose from common section methods, including full, half, offset, and aligned.
• Strikethrough text – Strikethrough style is provided for mtext, mleaders, dimensions, tables, and ArcText, offering increased flexibility for representing text.
• Property edit preview – Dynamically and instantaneously preview changes to object properties before applying them.
• Documentation tools – Import models from a wide variety of formats and automatically generate intelligent CAD documentation.
• Associative array functionality – Establish and maintain a set of relationships between arrayed objects, such as windows on a building or trusses on a bridge.
• Blend tool – Create spline objects with options for tangent or smooth continuity between two curves with the blend tool, speeding documentation time.
• Copy array – Quickly create a linear nonassociative array, saving valuable time when working on designs with multiple arrays.
• Autodesk Exchange for AutoCAD – With connected access to tips, tutorials, and more, Autodesk Exchange cloud-based service brings the content you need directly to your AutoCAD workspace.
• Slash design revision time with parametric drawing – By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically.
• Object and layer transparency – Display drawing geometry with more flexibility by applying transparency to layers, blocks, or objects.
• Annotation scaling – Create a single annotative-type object that automatically resizes to reflect the current viewport or model-space scale.
• Organize sheet sets – Organize your drawing sheets, reduce steps to publish, automatically create layout views, and link sheet set information.
