AUTO CAD

AutoCAD is the new Internet-enabled version of Autodesk’s flagship product. It was developed for CAD professionals in fast-paced production environments, whose success depends on constant communication, increasing productivity, and improving design skills. Its live Internet connection to current design content, tools, training, and resources improves communication and delivers real-time productivity gains necessary for you to remain competitive.
AutoCAD is designed for design and drafting professionals across all industries—building design, manufacturing, communications, land development, and utilities—and around the globe. Existing AutoCAD customers, users of other CAD products considering switching to AutoCAD, and IT/CAD managers can all benefit from this release.
The usability of AutoCAD is significantly enhanced through improved 3D functionality, fine-tuned features, and a revamped help system, all focused on improving your experience with the product. And while the Internet is the key theme in this release, you’ll benefit every day from the most powerful, easiest to learn, and easiest to use AutoCAD release ever.
