Section1

AutoCAD 2021 overview 

AutoCAD® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.

  • Draft, annotate, and design 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects
  • Automate tasks such as comparing drawings, adding blocks, creating schedules, and more
  • Customize with add-on apps and APIs

Section2

AutoCAD includes industry-specific features and intelligent objects for architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical design, and more.

  • Automate floor plans, sections, and elevations
  • Draw piping, ducting, and circuiting quickly with parts libraries
  • Auto-generate annotations, layers, schedules, lists, and tables
  • Use a rules-driven workflow to accurately enforce industry standards

Section3

Take advantage of seamless workflows by accessing AutoCAD on virtually any device. View, edit, annotate, and create drawings on the go using the AutoCAD mobile app or from your web browser using the AutoCAD web app.

Section4

MF Architecture uses AutoCAD for two complex housing designs, implementing design principles for sustainability while meeting city code constraints.

3D modeling and visualization

Solid, surface, and mesh modeling
Create realistic 3D models of your design using a combination of sold, surface, and mesh modeling
 
Section Planes
Create section planes to display cross-sectional views through solids, surfaces, meshes, or regions.
 
3D navigation (orbit, ViewCube, wheel)
Use 3D viewing and navigation tools to orbit, swivel, walk, and fly around a 3D model to showcase your design.
