Take Design Further...Speed up documentation, share designs accurately,
and explore ideas more intuitively in 3D. AutoCAD ® software provides the ultimate in power and flexibility, customizable for your specific needs.
With AutoCAD® 2010 software, you can tackle your most challenging design problems more easily. Your ideas can now take almost any shape imaginable, thanks to our freeform design tools. Many critical features have been automated, helping to make your workflow more efficient and the move to 3D design even smoother. Sharing and working on projects with colleagues has never been easier, thanks to multiple upgrades to our PDF capabilities and the invaluable addition of 3D printing. With these and many other new capabilities you’ve been asking for, AutoCAD 2010 helps you turn any idea into a reality faster than ever before.
Check out these new features:
• Parametric Drawing
• Speed Up Documentation
• Free-Form Design
• Sheet Sets
• Annotation Scaling
• Text Editing
• Dynamic Blocks
• Efficient User Interface
Parametric Drawing
Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered—all automatically.
Drive projects from concept to completion with the powerful documentation tools in AutoCAD. Work faster with automation, management, and editing tools that minimize repetitive tasks and speed your time to completion. No matter your project’s size or scope, you can meet the challenge with AutoCAD— which has been continuously leading and innovating documentation for decades.
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.
Organization isn’t a luxury. The AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager organizes your drawing sheets, reduces the steps to publish, automatically creates layout views, links sheet set information into title blocks and plot stamps, and performs tasks across a sheet set so everything is in one convenient place.
Spend less time creating and managing multiple items across multiple layers. With annotation scaling tools, you can create a single annotativetype object that automatically resizes to reflect the current viewport or model-space scale.
Now you can easily manipulate text by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type. Adjust the text’s appearance as needed using familiar tools common in text-editing applications, including paragraph and column tools, to achieve professional-quality formatting.
Save time and standardize drawings with ease. With Dynamic Blocks, you no longer have to redraw repetitive standard components, and you can reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process. Dynamic Blocks make individual block geometry editable and reduce the need to define a new block for every variation of shape and size.
Working with several files doesn’t have to be painful anymore. The Quick View feature uses thumbnails in addition to file names, so you can visually find and open the correct drawing file and layout even faster than before. Within the Menu Browser you can also quickly browse files, examine thumbnailimages, and get detailed information about file sizes and creators.
