Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2010 [32 & 64 Bit]

AutoCAD Architecture provides AutoCAD 2010 software, plus, purpose-built architectural design and drafting tools make for efficient, intuitive creation of construction documents.

• Work in the familiar AutoCAD environment with tools that are purpose-built for architectural design and drafting.
• Get immediate productivity gains by drawing upon your AutoCAD skills. Begin using AutoCAD Architecture with minimal training, creating architectural documentation, drawings, and schedules faster, with fewer errors, in a software environment you already know.
• Collaborate smoothly. Easily exchange information with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers and structural engineers using the industry-leading DWG file format. Communicate clearly with clients through lifelike design visualisations created with integrated rendering tools.

Features:

Streamlined User Interface - AutoCAD Architecture 2010 features a sleek new user interface that offers optimised desktop organisation, a larger drawing window, and quicker access to tools and commands. You’ll be able to find your favourite tools faster, locate lesser-used tools more efficiently, and more easily discover new features. This streamlined interface is being incorporated into many Autodesk products, helping reduce your learning curve as you move between Autodesk applications.

Details - Document and annotate faster with the robust library of detail components and powerful keynoting tools. Automate the creation of details and maintain consistent annotation. When your details are complete, generate keynote legends in just a few clicks.

Walls, Doors, and Windows - Draw and document using walls, doors, and windows that mimic real-world behaviour and construction. You can now modify walls and their endcap conditions on a component level for improved handling of common wall conditions, such as angled, cornered, or intersecting fire-rated walls. Automatically insert and place doors or windows with precise placement control. Move any wall, and all connected walls and spaces automatically update. Use familiar AutoCAD commands such as Fillet and Chamfer on flexible wall components.

Spaces - Automatically tag every room in your drawing, complete with room areas. Spaces update automatically if the bounding elements are changed, saving you time and helping to make documentation more accurate. Space definitions can include offsets from bounding elements based on preset or user-defined rules, enabling area calculations that reflect a variety of industry standards, including BOMA, DIN, and SIS.

Sections and Elevations - Generate 2D sections and elevations with material hatching, directly from your floor plans. If your design changes, fully updated section and elevation graphics are generated, maintaining layer, color, linetype, and other properties.

Scheduling - Easily customise the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles to meet your company’s standards, or create new schedules from scratch, complete with your required calculations. Schedules are linked directly to your designs, so you can update them instantly to reflect design changes.

Dimensioning - With AutoCAD Architecture AEC Dimensions, you can dimension any wall and all its components according to your own dimensioning standards, including wall stud centrelines and faces. Associative dimensions automatically update as your designs change, eliminating the need for manual updates.

Integrated Rendering - Bring designs to life for impressive client presentations at any stage of design. Streamlined visualisation capabilities are fully integrated into the AutoCAD Architecture 2010 workflow. Accelerate architectural review cycles by publishing directly to DWF or DWFx formats.
