AutoCAD (Architecture Toolset)

Make use of over 8,800 intelligent architectural components, including multi-level blocks, to support various layer standards. Should one of the pre-existing layer standards not meet the needs of your project, you can create your own by customising an existing one.

Save time and increase productivity by automatically generating commonly used architectural objects such as floor plans, elevations, sections and ceiling grids.

Use elements with real-world behaviour and construction, allowing for quicker placement in the documents and drawings that you create.

Check out and check in files to maintain versioning, prevent unauthorised modifications, and ensure drawing integrity. Easily revert to an earlier version of your drawing with comments history, and view the drawing name appended with check-in time.

The toolset creates multiple layers according to the current standard, using predefined layer standards and matching layer key styles. This lets you automatically generate layers as needed when you add objects to a drawing.

With the Display System, you only have to draw an architectural object once. The appearance of that object will change automatically to meet the display requirements of different types of drawings, view directions and levels of detail.

Enhance your design options. Organise reports with spaces, and use zones to structure spaces into various groups, according to different schemes.

Use the Detail Component Manager dialogue box to seamlessly navigate between different detail component databases. A hierarchical tree view and a filter feature make it easy to locate individual components within a database.

Display existing, demolished and new constructions in a single drawing. This lets you design and produce renovations more quickly, while avoiding errors typically caused by editing multiple drawings.
