Autodesk Design Review Getting Started Guide
Whether involved in manufacturing, AEC, or geospatial industries,
design is a collaborative process that involves those who need to review
and comment on designs, but are not familiar with CAD software.
Autodesk
®
Design Review software helps accelerate projects from
start to finish with all-digital tools to review, mark up, and track
changes to 2D and 3D designs without the original creation software.
Team members can accurately measure, redline, and annotate drawings,
maps, and models, and communicate changes in the context of the
design. Add comments, track status, and drag and drop information
of any type—CAD documents, project timelines, or raster images—
combining them into a single file. Then round-trip the DWF file to any
Autodesk
®
design application, overlaying digital markups onto the
original CAD file for fast revisions.
Regardless of what industry you’re in, coordinating project reviews
with Autodesk Design Review is easier, more efficient, and less costly
than a paper-based system. Its benefits include:
• 3D viewing, measure and markup capabilities
• Data security
• Instant transmission of data anywhere in the world
• Powerful markup and tracking capabilities
• Compact file size for e-mail and archiving
• Integrated workflow with Autodesk design software, to speed
revisions and ensure no information is lost.
Only Autodesk Design Review lets you round-trip markups directly
into Autodesk design software, including AutoCAD, Revit

, Autodesk
®
Inventor™, AutoCAD

Map 3D, and AutoCAD

Civil 3D

. Through
an intuitive review and approval process project managers and
CAD drafters can navigate from comment to comment across sheet
sets and systematically walk through a review set to complete the
approval process. The CAD user can see all changes marked by the
Design Review user, and incorporate changes into the original CAD
