Description

AutoCAD has a comprehensive set of drawing tools, along with editing and annotation tools. These help in producing 2 D documentation as well as drawings. AutoCAD provides a set of 3 D modeling as well as annotation tools. These can be used for producing and communicating through 3 D designs and models. It is easy to personalize AutoCAD. This helps in enhancing the productivity of the user. The collaboration allows it to import maps and assemblies from other applications. It is also possible to attach other drawings to the drawing being created by the user. The geographic location can be inserted in the drawing being made. This will be taken from the online map service and displayed in the drawing.

In this way, there are endless options available in AutoCAD that can help to enhance a simple design.

AutoCAD 2019 by Autodesk is a licensed application that is used for drafting and Computer Aided Designing purposes. It has simplified the work of architects and engineers by providing them the facility of drawing digital models of structures in 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, it is easy to implement any changes in designs before construction of physical structure is started. Customers can view the models and can take better decisions as compared to older drawing-on- paper approach. Its different versions are released that are compatible with Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android Operating Systems.

Professional Usability:

The versatility of features in AutoCAD makes it suitable for advanced professional users. There are a large number of tools and options available that can efficiently assist the designers in drafting. These options are well-categorized and can be accessed quickly via menu bar. The software comes equipped with many sample drawings that can be used and modified to create professional objects. When working in an organization, a person may need to interact with multiple projects at a time for comparing the end results. To meet such requirements, it is possible to open many projects in separate tabs.

Tools and Options:

There is a wide range of options available that can be used by users in their projects.

  • draw various shapes, modify them, enter text, toggle between 2D and 3D mode, add layer states and manage properties.
  • insert images, define writing blocks, mention references, perform linking and extraction and can import files with different formats.
  • manage parameters for representation of objects and can annotate them for explanation of their parts. Enabling the navigation bar and other palettes help the users to view different aspects of objects on which they are working.

The user interface of AutoCAD software can be easily adjusted according to user preferences. GUI can be completely customized to decide which palettes will be displayed and which will remain hidden. Professional users can write and run scripts of Visual Basic, Visual LISP and VBA Macro to automate certain features. Furthermore, the documents can be created by users to define Standards and all the other files can be compared with them. In the end, the users can save these as DWG, DWS and DXF files.

Benefits:

AutoCAD is very much beneficial for project managers, architects, graphic designers and engineers. The users can develop professional 2D and 3D models with the help of its powerful tools. The documentation of objects has been simplified by its automatic measurement feature. The users can store their customized settings and objects on cloud account and then access them on all their devices. The settings from previous versions of the software can be extracted as well.
