AutoCAD^® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.

• Draft, annotate, and design 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects
• Automate tasks such as comparing drawings, adding blocks, creating schedules, and more
• Customize with add-on apps and APIs

AutoCAD 2021 enables you to create and explore ideas like never before. It is all you need to create, visualize, document, and share your ideas. Import a wide variety of other formats including SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, Rhino, and NX. Drawing views, edge display, and location are instantly updated when an engineering change is made.

The drafting, detailing, and conceptual design leader is showing the way once again. AutoCAD 2021 propels day-to-day drafting forward with features that increase speed and accuracy while saving time. Annotation scaling and layer properties per viewport minimise workarounds, while text and table enhancements and multiple leaders help deliver an unmatched level of aesthetic precision and professionalism.

• Document. Create your designs more intuitively, more efficiently, and faster than ever before.
• Communicate. Present and share your designs more seamlessly, more accurately, and more powerfully.
• Explore. Now you can turn ideas, regardless of shape or size, into a 3D CAD model to help take your designs further.
• Customize. Make AutoCAD software work for you in ways you never thought possible.
