Software > Autodesk® Architecture
 AutoCAD® Architecture software is better for architects. Creating and sharing accurate drafting and construction documents is much more efficient with the system’s familiar environment, flexible implementation options, and easy-to-use architectural drawing and design tools. The industry-leading DWG file format enables coordinated collaboration between engineers and design professionals. Intuitive features inspire more creative work, while integrated rendering brings client presentations to life. AutoCAD Architecture provides smooth collaboration, flexible implementation options, and immediate productivity for architects familiar with AutoCAD® software.
Key Benifits:
A Better AutoCAD for Architects
Work in the familiar AutoCAD environment, using tools that are designed for architectural drawing and design.
Immediate Productivity
Begin using Autodesk Architectural Desktop with minimal training, creating documentation, drawings, and schedules faster and with fewer errors.
Flexibility in Implementation and Use
There are many ways to get started with Architectural Desktop. For example, you could start my using wall, door, and window objects from the design palette. Or, you could begin by using the vast detail library to automate this common, time-consuming task. When you are ready, you can incorporate additional features to improve your productivity.
Smooth Collaboration
Exchange information easily using the industry leading DWG file format and quickly coordinate rich design information with engineers. Use integrated rendering to create lifelike design visualizations that enhance communication with clients.
Key new Features in Architectural Desktop:
Details
Do documenting and annotating designs consume too much time? Complete these tasks faster with Architectural Desktop's robust library of detail components and powerful keynoting tools. Automate the creation of details and maintain consistent annotation.
Walls, Doors, and Windows
Looking for a faster way to create and modify floor plans? Take advantage of architectural objects, such as walls, doors, and windows that behave like their real-world counterparts. Automatically insert a door or window into a wall with complete placement control. Move a wall and connected walls and spaces automatically update.
Stairs
Tired of spending so much time generating accurate sections and elevations from your 2D stair plans? Now you can convert that 2D linwork to a fully described stair in Architectural Desktop. Not only do you have the flexibility of improved graphic control over your stair's plan and model views, you get to take advantage of additional stair enhancements such as improved stringer, landing, tread, and riser control.
Spaces
Looking fro a more efficient and productive way to tag floor plans with room areas? With Architectural Desktop, you can now automatically tag every room in a drawing, complete with room areas. And, since you can update spaces as room boundaries change at the click of a button, tags and areas will update automatically, saving you time in maintaining accurate documentation.
Sections and Elevations
Need a more efficient way to manage the coordination of your design and construction documents? Use Architectural Desktop to generate 2D sections and elevations with material hatching, directly from your floor plan. And since section and elevation graphics are generated directly from your designs - maintaining layer, color, and linetype properties - you can easily update them when your design changes.
Scheduling
New graphic display and calculation tools help ensure that your schedules are accurate and adhere to company standards. Whether you are customizing the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles, or creating comletely new schedules from scratch, complete with your requred calculations, you can do so with ease.
Integrated Rendering
Bring designs to life for impressive client presentations at any stage of the design with integrated rednering. The streamlined visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the Architectrual Desktop workflow. Make your presentations stand out by visually communicating richer design information
Dimensioning
Does a change in your design require manual updates to your dimensioning? Let Architectural Desktop's AEC Dimensions help. With even greater flexibility, you can now dimension any wall - and all its components - according to your own dimensioning standards, including wall stud cneterlines and faces. And since the dimensions are associative, they automatically update as your design change, eliminating the tedium of many manual updates.
