AutoCAD delivers the flexibility and power needed to help bring your design ideas to life.
Accelerate Documentation. Speed projects from concept to completion with the powerful documentation tools in AutoCAD. Import 3D models directly into AutoCAD and instantly create intelligent 2D views. Minimize repetitive tasks and accelerate your workflow. No matter your project’s size or scope, you can meet the challenge with AutoCAD software.

AutoCAD offers a broad toolset that helps you drive efficiencies throughout the drafting and documentation process, no matter what industry you are in.
• Model Documentation—Automatically generate intelligent documentation for AutoCAD, Autodesk® Inventor® software, and other models. You can import and document designs from a wide variety of software applications including SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER®, CATIA®, Rhinoceros®, and NX®.
• Parametric Drawing—Define relationships between objects, minimizing the time needed to edit or rework drawings.
• Associative Array—Easily create arrayed objects, like windows on a building or trusses on a bridge. Plus, you can now array objects in 3D or along a specified path.
• Sheet Sets—Organize and manage your drawing sheets efficiently.
• Dynamic Blocks—Save time when using standard, repetitive components.
• Multifunction Grips—Maximize productivity with context-aware, object-specific menus.
Don’t settle for second best. Rely on the drafting and documentation tools in AutoCAD to exceed expectations.
