Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture CAD Software


 

Overview
 
AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 is the version of AutoCAD® software for architects. Creating designs and documentation is much more efficient using the software’s purpose-built tools for architects. Automate tedious drafting tasks and help reduce errors.

The familiar working methods and intuitive user environment offers immediate productivity gains with the flexibility to learn additional features at your own pace. The software’s industry-leading DWG file format makes it easy to share and communicate designs with engineers and the extended project team. AutoCAD Architecture offers immediate productivity for architects familiar with AutoCAD software.
 
Immediate Productivity
AutoCAD® Architecture software provides AutoCAD-based design and documentation productivity specifically for architects.  It helps architects create documentation, drawings and schedules faster, while automating tedious coordination tasks and reducing errors.
  • Designed specifically for architects—Work in the familiar AutoCAD environment, using tools that are purpose-built for architectural design and drafting. 
  • Get immediate productivity—Begin using AutoCAD Architecture software with minimal training, creating documentation, drawings and schedules faster, with fewer errors and in a software environment you already know.  Make a smooth transition to more advanced features at your own pace.
  • Collaborate smoothly—Exchange information easily using the industry-leading DWG™ file format and use integrated rendering tools to create lifelike design visualisations that enhance communication with clients.
Walls, Doors, and Windows

Draw and document using walls, doors, and windows that mimic real-world behaviour and construction. You can now 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 precise placement control. Move any wall, and all connected walls and spaces automatically update. Use familiar AutoCAD commands such as Fillet and Chamfer on flexible wall components.

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
Easily customise the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles to meet your company’s standards, or create new schedules from scratch, complete with your required calculations. Schedules are linked directly to your designs, so you can update them instantly to reflect design changes.
 
Details
Document and annotate faster with the robust library of detail components and powerful keynoting tools. Automate the creation of details and maintain consistent annotation. When your details are complete, generate keynote legends in just a few clicks.
