Autodesk AI helps AutoCAD users accelerate previously tedious and repetitive tasks, unlocking more time for creation and exploration. AutoCAD productivity tools Markup Import and Markup Assist help drafters iterate new designs more quickly. Machine learning enables Markup Assist to identify handwritten and digital markups, detecting and executing certain instructions in markup text, making changes faster and easier. When a user needs to replace block references, Autodesk AI searches the user’s block library, suggesting similar blocks to choose from and orientation based on placement of existing blocks in the drawing. And, as users work, My Insights: Macro Advisor provides curated tips and valuable information—at the right time and in the right context—to increase productivity. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in AutoCAD.
