With AutoCAD 2010 computer-aided design software, tackle your most challenging problems with ease. Create any shape imaginable with free-form design tools, cut revision time and keep everything connected with parametric drawing, share your ideas as PDF, or bring them to life with 3D printing.

Design and shape the world around you with the powerful, flexible features found in AutoCAD® design and documentation software, one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D CAD tools. Speed documentation, share ideas seamlessly, and explore ideas more intuitively in 3D. With thousands of available add-ons, AutoCAD design software provides the ultimate in flexibility, customized for your specific needs.

Top features:

Cut Design Time with Parametric Drawing
Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically.

Free-form Design Tools Provide Freedom to Create
Simply push/pull faces, edges, and vertices to model complex shapes, add smooth surfaces, and much more.
 
Enhanced PDF Support
Sharing and reusing designs has never been easier thanks to enhanced PDF support within AutoCAD. Publishing improvements include smaller file sizes and TrueType font support. And new import and underlay capabilities mean you can bring PDF files directly into AutoCAD drawings.

Dynamic Blocks Easier to Author and Edit
Thanks to several enhancements, Dynamic Blocks are now easier to author and edit. With improved display of action objects and improved highlighting for objects associated with actions, Dynamic Blocks tools help save critical time documenting your designs.

Speed Design Reviews with Autodesk Design Review 2010
With built-in tools to publish and import DWF files within AutoCAD, collaborating on projects is more seamless than ever. Autodesk® Design Review DWF viewing and markup software is the free*, integrated, digital solution for reviewers to view, print, and mark up designs without the original software.
