AutoCAD® software delivers the power and flexibility needed to take your documentation and design further. Drive your projects from concept to completion with powerful documentation, automation, management, and editing tools that minimize repetitive tasks and enable you to work faster.
With native DWG™ technology support, you can effectively collaborate across teams, sharing critical design data securely, efficiently, and accurately. Presentation-ready graphics, rendering tools, and powerful plotting and 3D printing capabilities enable you to communicate your design intent clearly and effectively.
Plus, with the flexibility to explore design ideas in both 2D and 3D, AutoCAD gives you intuitive tools that help your concepts become real—in almost any shape imaginable.
And if you need to customize AutoCAD to meet your unique needs, it’s easier than you may think. Configure your settings, extend the software, build custom workflows, develop your own application, or simply use one that’s already built.
Design and shape the world around you with the powerful, flexible features found in AutoCAD® design and documentation software, one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D CAD tools. Speed documentation, share ideas seamlessly, and explore ideas more intuitively in 3D. With thousands of available add-ons, AutoCAD software provides the ultimate in flexibility, customized for your specific needs. It’s time to take design further. It’s time for AutoCAD.
What's New in Autodesk AutoCAD 2010?
AutoCAD 2010: More Power, More Innovation
With AutoCAD® 2010 computer-aided design software, you can tackle your most challenging problems with ease. Create almost any shape imaginable with free-form design tools, cut revision time and keep everything connected with parametric drawing, share your ideas as PDF, or bring them to life with 3D printing. Nothing takes you from idea to reality faster.
AutoCAD 2010 Screencast
Learn more about the powerful new capabilities of AutoCAD 2010. Watch as AutoCAD guru Lynn Allen walks through new features, highlighting free-form design tools, parametric drawing, and many more new capabilities.
Cut Design Time with Parametric Drawing
Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically.
Free-form Design Tools Provide Freedom to Create
You now have the power to design ideas in almost any form you can imagine. Simply push/pull faces, edges, and vertices to model complex shapes, add smooth surfaces, and much more.
Enhanced PDF Support
Sharing and reusing designs has never been easier thanks to enhanced PDF support within AutoCAD. Publishing improvements include smaller file sizes and TrueType font support. And new import and underlay capabilities mean you can bring PDF files directly into AutoCAD drawings.
Send an AutoCAD Model to a 3D Printer
Do more than just visualize your designs—make them real. Whatever you’re designing can be made into a physical prototype through a 3D printer, either your own or through a connected service.
Dynamic Blocks Easier to Author and Edit
Thanks to several enhancements, Dynamic Blocks are now easier to author and edit. With improved display of action objects and improved highlighting for objects associated with actions, Dynamic Blocks tools help save critical time documenting your designs.
