Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the percent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine, operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice.

AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 2D and 3D drafting, design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) layouts, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images and converting raster images. AutoCAD enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.
Autodesk AutoCAD is used by students, architects, designers, engineers, project managers, real estate developers, and construction professionals to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
The price of an annual AutoCAD subscription is {{price.ACDIST.1year}} and the price of a monthly AutoCAD subscription is {{price.ACDIST.month}}. If you are interested in a pay-as-you-go option, please visit www.autodesk.com/flex to learn more.

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.
AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT subscriptions come with an installer for both Windows and Mac. Go to your Autodesk account and locate the product AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT for Mac and select Download.
