ideas to the next level with presentation-ready 
graphics, rendering tools, and robust plotting and 

3D printing capabilities. It’s communication at its 

best.

PDF Integration

Sharing and reusing designs has never been easier, 
thanks to a long list of upgrades made to streamline 
communication. Publish PDF files directly from 

AutoCAD drawings and attach and snap PDF files as

Explore Your Ideas

AutoCAD and a blank canvas have a lot in common. 

Both give you the ability to create the previously 
unimaginable. But AutoCAD provides the flexibility 
to explore design ideas in both 2D and 3D, with 
intuitive tools that help your concepts become real. 

The world is your canvas—what will you create? 

Free-Form Design

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.

Visualization

Visualize your ideas like never before. Choose 

from more than 300 materials, apply photometric 
lighting, and control the display to create highly 
accurate, photorealistic rendered images. 

3D Navigation

Walk or fly through a model with the click of a 
button. Quickly rotate and orient any solid or 
surface model with the Autodesk

Customize in Ways You Never Thought Possible 

Your job is unique. Your software should be as well. 

Customizing AutoCAD to meet your unique needs 
is amazingly easy. Configure your settings, extend 
the software, build custom workflows, develop 
your own application or leverage one already built. 
Don’t choose between flexibility and power—with 

AutoCAD, you can have both.

Take advantage of our flexible development 

platform to boost your productivity. With direct 
access to database structures, the graphics system, 
and native command definitions, you can specialize 
design and drafting applications to perfectly fit your 
needs. 

Action Recorder

Save time and increase productivity by automating 
repetitive tasks without requiring the assistance 
of a CAD manager. Now you can record tasks, add 
text messages, and request user input, then quickly 
select and play back recorded macros.
