Autodesk AutoCAD 2011

Powerful platform offers the most innovative features in the 3D simulation, which allows you to speed up the design work and documentation, as well as share new models and to develop design ideas and concepts.

A brief overview of the main features Autodesk AutoCAD:

- Creation of parametric drawings
Parametric designs can significantly reduce the scan time projects. There is a possibility of defining relationships between objects - for example, parallel lines will automatically remain parallel and concentric circles always have a common center.
- Dynamic Blocks
The use of prefabricated elements significantly saves time. Dynamic blocks eliminates the need to draw again repeating the standard components and work with cumbersome block libraries.
They allow you to create a unique geometry of the blocks and simplify the parameter setting of new variants of shapes and sizes.
- Work with arbitrary shapes
To create complex shapes simply move the face, edges and vertices.
- Visualization
At your disposal are more than 300 materials, the means of photometric lighting and image management.
- Photorealistic rendering
The relation between work time and rendering quality is determined by the position of the pointer on a sliding scale.
- 3D navigation
Detour and circled the model is performed using a mouse. ViewCube (ViewCube ®) allows you to rotate
and orient objects and surfaces and steering wheel (SteeringWheels ®) - pan, align and adjust the zoom.
- Technology DWG
DWG file format ensures reliable storage of design data and sharing. Due to the wide dissemination of this format, which has become generally accepted in virtually all industries, you can store project data and share them without the risk of any incompatibility.
- Integration with PDF
Transfer and reuse of data were surprisingly comfortable and light with enhanced support of PDF. Became smaller the size of the published files, added support of TrueType. New ability to import and use as substrates allow you to add PDF-files directly into the drawings AutoCAD.
- 3D model printing AutoCAD
You can not only visualize projects but also to translate them into reality. Physical mock-ups of projects created by the withdrawal on a 3D printer.
- Create and edit Dynamic Blocks
Introduced improvements have helped to simplify the creation and editing of dynamic block. With its advanced mapping and allocation of objects, tools, working with dynamic blocks significantly reduce the time required to produce documentation.
