What's new in 2017

​​Import PDFs

Import the geometry from a PDF file into your drawing as an AutoCAD object.

 - PDFs have been added to the Import File formats. Import the geometry, TrueType text, and raster images from a PDF file or underlay them into your drawing as AutoCAD objects.

​

​

​

​

​​Share design views

Collaborate with stakeholders by publishing your drawing views to the cloud.

 - Share your 2D and 3D CAD drawings in the cloud. Your reviewers don’t need a login or even an AutoCAD-based product to view your drawings, and they can’t alter your source DWG™ file.

​

​

​

​​Smart centerlines and center marks

Use powerful new tools to create and edit them quickly and more intuitively.

  -  It's easy to create and edit centerlines and center marks. When you move associated objects, the centerlines and center marks automatically move with your object.

​

Create 2D drawings with easy-to-use software

Speed design and collaboration with AutoCAD LT® drafting software for Windows and Mac. AutoCAD Light has many of the features of full AutoCAD for drafting. Enhanced support is included with your subscription.

 

Drawing tools

Use standard shapes such as lines, polygons, arcs, circles, and ellipses to create simple or complex 2D drawings.

 

Modify objects

Modify existing geometry with commands such as stretch, scale, and rotate. Create new objects, copy, offset, and mirror.

 

Annotate drawings

Enhance your drawings with annotations such as text, dimensions, and hatches.

 

DWG file format

Save and share 2D drawing files with confidence in the integrity and reliability of your data with DWG technology from Autodesk.

 

Publish and plot

Create a multisheet DWF, DWF, or PDF file, or create a paper drawing set.

Take the power of AutoCAD wherever you go

​

The mobile CAD app for design and engineering professionals and their on-the-go work.

AutoCAD® 360 mobile app is a powerful easy-to-use drawing and drafting app that enables you to view, create, edit and share AutoCAD drawings on mobile devices – anytime, anywhere.

 

AutoCAD 360 CAD viewer bridges the gap

Work on the latest drawings right at the job site. Access updates in real time via AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT software.

 

The AutoCAD 360 app enables faster, paperless workflow

No need to carry printed drawings to job sites and client visits. Be more productive and eliminate extra work cycles.

 

Safeguard CAD application data

Access drawings from a free Autodesk cloud storage account or other cloud accounts, including Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box.

 

How it Works:

1. Access drawings in AutoCAD 360 Pro from your mobile device in the field or outside the office.

 

2. Draft, edit, mark-up, and measure plans at the job site or on the go.

 

3. Share updated drawings with colleagues and clients.
