3D modeling software for steel detailing Advance Steel detailing software is built on the familiar AutoCAD platform. Structural engineering professionals use the software to help accelerate design, steel detailing, steel fabrication, and steel construction.
CAD software to design anything - now with time-saving specialized toolsets, web and mobile apps. AutoCAD® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings. Draft and edit 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects. Annotate drawings with text, dimensions, leaders, and tables.
AutoCAD Electrical toolset now included with AutoCAD. Efficiently create, modify, and document electrical controls systems with an industry-specific toolset for electrical design. In a study the Electrical toolset boosted productivity by 95%, bringing dramatic time savings to common AutoCAD® electrical design tasks.
AutoCAD Mechanical toolset now included with AutoCAD. Design faster with an industry-specific toolset for mechanical engineering including 700,000+ intelligent parts and features. In a recent study, the Mechanical toolset boosted productivity by 55%, bringing dramatic time savings to common AutoCAD® mechanical design tasks.
AutoCAD MEP toolset now included with AutoCAD. Draft, design, and document building systems with an industry-specific toolset for MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing). Workspace environments include individual palettes and domain-specific ribbons to optimize your workflow tasks.
AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset now included with AutoCAD. Create and edit P&ID’s, 3D models, and extract piping orthographics and isometrics with industry-specific toolset for plant design. In-context AutoCAD® commands help make P&ID drafting easier. The Plant 3D toolset is delivered with standard symbol libraries in the tool palettes. They include PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, and JIS. Work with other industry disciplines to create BIM models for the plant.
Use raster design tools in a specialised toolset to edit scanned drawings and convert raster images to DWG™ objects. Use standard AutoCAD commands on raster regions and primitives. Easily erase raster images, lines, arcs, and circles. Create lines and polylines from raster images, and convert raster files into vector drawings. Show and analyze geo images in Civil 3D civil engineering software and the AutoCAD Map 3D toolset.
3D laser scanning, provides a way to quickly capture and generate missing CAD files by capturing buildings, structures or large scales objects into precise digital point clouds. Once captured the point cloud can then be converted into 2D plans or elevations.
