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.

• Familiar AutoCAD environment with tools for architectural design and drafting.
• Increase 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.
• Collaborate smoothly. Exchange information with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers and structural engineers using the industry-leading DWG file format.

Top 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.

Walls, Doors, Windows
Draw and document using walls, doors, and windows that mimic real-world behaviour and construction. 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.

Spaces
Automatically tag every room in drawing, complete with room areas. Spaces update automatically if the bounding elements are changed 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
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, 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.
