Power your teams’ creativity with automation, collaboration and machine-learning features of AutoCAD® software. Architects, engineers and construction professionals use AutoCAD to:
Design and annotate 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces and mesh objects
Automate tasks such as comparing drawings, counting objects, adding blocks, creating schedules and more
Create a customised workspace to maximise productivity with add-on apps and APIs
Complete your projects faster with AutoCAD’s automations and customisations.
Share and annotate drawings safely and securely across desktop, web or mobile devices.
Only Autodesk has TrustedDWG® technology to ensure fidelity and compatibility for your DWGs.
Across seven studies, customers increased productivity by 63% on average for tasks completed using a specialised toolset in AutoCAD.*
Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialised toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the per cent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on the machine, operating system, filters and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice.

AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 3D and 2D drafting, CAD design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images and converting raster images. AutoCAD enables users to create, edit and annotate drawings via desktop, web and mobile devices.
AutoCAD is used by students, architects, designers, engineers, project managers, property developers and construction professionals to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
AutoCAD LT is powerful 2D CAD software used for precision drafting and documentation. AutoCAD includes all the features of AutoCAD LT, plus additional features to benefit productivity such as 3D modelling and automation of repetitive processes. AutoCAD also lets you customise the user interface with APIs and add-on apps. With AutoCAD, users are able work more efficiently with seven industry-specific toolsets to enhance automation and productivity for tasks in architecture, mechanical design, electrical design, plant design, plumbing, converting raster images, geographic information systems and 3D mapping.
