Product Information
Immediate Productivity for Architects
Built on AutoCAD software, Autodesk® Architectural Desktop gives you the productivity of automated documentation, the efficiency of intelligent architectural objects, and the flexibility of file-based collaboration. You still have all the traditional drafting methods you’re used to, so you can start using intelligent architectural objects at your own pace.
Productivity
- The familiar AutoCAD workflow and interface enable you to get to work right away.
- You can achieve faster documentation from the building model.
- You can automate tedious coordination tasks.
Efficiency
- Dynamically coordinated annotation, tags, callouts, and sheet numbers reduces document management effort.
- Automatic production of schedules speeds coordination with the design.
- Direct manipulation of intelligent architectural objects means you can edit the model directly, graphically, in your design space, rather than going through dialog boxes.
- Rapid visualization enhances design presentations and simplifies collaboration.
- Better documents mean fewer problems and better work.
Flexibility
- It fits into your existing workflow.
- You can implement increasingly powerful and effective features according to your own timetable.
- Broad support for industry-standard formats and interoperability standards make collaboration with the extended team easier, and better.
- The Autodesk Architectural Desktop software application is built so your process can evolve according to your preferences.
- You still have traditional drafting tools at your disposal.
