Gain immediate productivity and smooth collaboration within a software environment you already know.

Key Features in AutoCAD Architecture
 

Streamlined Design Environment
AutoCAD Architecture features a streamlined user interface. Find your favorite tools and commands faster, locate lesser-used tools more efficiently, and discover relevant new features more easily. The result is less time searching through menus and toolbars, and more time getting your work done.

Details
AutoCAD Architecture software includes a comprehensive library of detail components and keynoting tools. Rather than spend time and effort on often tedious documentation and design annotations, you can fully automate the creation of details to ensure appropriate, consistent annotations. When you are ready, you can generate keynote legends quickly and easily.

Walls, Doors, and Windows
Draw and document typical building elements such as walls, doors, and windows. Draw wall layouts that reflect actual construction. Modify walls and their endcap conditions on a component level for improved handling of common wall conditions, such as angled, cornered, or intersecting fire-rated walls. Automatically insert and place doors or windows with complete placement control. Move any wall, and all connected walls and spaces automatically update. Use familiar AutoCAD® commands such as Fillet and Chamfer

.
Spaces
Automatically tag every room in a drawing, complete with room areas. As room boundaries change, you can easily update spaces, causing tags and areas to refresh, maintaining accurate documentation.

Sections and Elevations
Generate 2D sections and elevations with material hatching, directly from your floor plans. If your design changes, fully updated section and elevation graphics are generated, maintaining layer, color, linetype, and other properties.

Scheduling
Whether you are customizing the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles to meet company standards or creating new schedules from scratch, complete with required calculations, you can do so with ease. Since schedules are linked directly to your designs, you can update them to reflect any design changes at the click of a button.

Rendering
Bring designs to life for client presentations at any stage of the design with integrated rendering. The streamlined visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the AutoCAD Architecture workflow. Make your presentations stand out by visually communicating richer design information.

Dimensioning
With even greater flexibility in AutoCAD Architecture, you can now dimension any wall—and all its components, including wall stud centerlines and faces—according to your own dimensioning standards. And since the dimensions are associative, they automatically update as your designs change, eliminating the tedium of many manual updates.

Drawing Compare
The Drawing Compare feature enhances collaboration by using color-coded displays to show items on a drawing that have been changed, added, or deleted by other members of the design team. Changes to items such as styles, fire ratings, or other nongraphical properties are also tracked. Combined with redlining features, such as revision clouds, Drawing Compare helps clarify communication across the design team.
