AutoCAD Architecture, specifically the AutoCAD for architects and planners. The familiar AutoCAD environment, in combination with architectural features guarantee the maximum efficiency in design drawings and documentation. AutoCAD Architecture users can immediately begin work to experience the productivity advantage and discover new functions in their own learning pace.

Familiar User Environment
AutoCAD Architecture features a streamlined user interface. Find your favorite tools and commands faster, locate lesser-used tools more efficiently, and discover relevant new features more easily. The result is less time searching through menus and toolbars, and more time getting your work done.

Details
AutoCAD Architecture software includes a comprehensive library of detail components and keynoting tools. Fully automate the creation of details to ensure appropriate, consistent annotations, and save time and effort spent on tedious documentation and design annotations. When you are ready, generate keynote legends quickly and easily.

Walls, Doors, and Windows
Draw and document typical building elements such as walls, doors, and windows. Draw wall layouts that reflect actual construction. Modify walls and their endcap conditions on a component level for improved handling of common wall conditions, such as angled, cornered, or intersecting fire-rated walls. Automatically insert and place doors or windows with complete placement control. Move any wall, and all connected walls and spaces automatically update. Use familiar AutoCAD® commands such as Fillet and Chamfer.

Spaces
Automatically tag every room in a drawing, complete with room areas. As room boundaries change, you can easily update spaces, causing tags and areas to refresh, maintaining accurate documentation.

Sections and Elevations
Generate 2D sections and elevations with material hatching, directly from your floor plans. If your design changes, fully updated section and elevation graphics are generated, maintaining layer, color, linetype, and other properties.

Scheduling
Customize the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles to meet company standards or create new schedules from scratch, complete with required calculations, with ease. Schedules are linked directly to your designs, enabling you to update them to reflect any design changes with the click of a button.

Rendering
Bring designs to life for client presentations at any stage of the design with integrated rendering. The streamlined visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the AutoCAD Architecture workflow. Make your presentations stand out by visually communicating richer design information. Extend rendering capabilities even further using the FBX file format to export designs to modeling and animation software such as Autodesk 3ds Max Design.

Dimensioning
Greater flexibility in AutoCAD Architecture enables you to dimension any wall—and all its components, including wall stud centerlines and faces—according to your own dimensioning standards. And since the dimensions are associative, they automatically update as your designs change, eliminating the tedium of many manual updates.
