Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2011

AutoCAD  Architecture, version of AutoCAD  for Architects, combines tools for architectural design with a familiar environment AutoCAD, which provides increasing efficiency and improving the coordination of subcontractors.


Main features of Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture:

 AutoCAD environment full of specialized tools for architectural design and production of working drawings.
Is Experience in AutoCAD ensures high performance from the first second. In order to begin work in AutoCAD Architecture does not require lengthy training. You will immediately feel how easily create drawings, specifications and other documentation in a familiar environment.
Is the program supports cooperative work. Easily communicate with specialists in the design of engineering systems, buildings and building support is provided by leading industry file format, DWG. To demonstrate the projects our customers are realistic visualization features, based on the integrated media rendering.

Distinctive features of Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture:

Convenient user interface
The new interface AutoCAD Architecture is characterized by an optimal organization, the greater area of the graphics area, as well as faster access to the tools and commands. Now to find the right tools and teams will require less time. Streamlined interface used in many CAD Autodesk, which allows users to spend a minimum time for training during the transition to new software products.

Drawings of nodes
For a more rapid formation of documentation and annotation program offers a comprehensive library of detail components and observations in the drawing. With their help accelerate the creation of such design elements as superscript labels, annotations and links. Explanations placed in the drawing just a few clicks.

 Walls, doors and windows
You can do the drawings, and create documents using walls, doors and windows, which represent the real architectural objects. It is possible to edit the wall and their properties on the component level, which can help improve the work with different types of walls is inclined, angled, intersecting and fire. The program allows you to automatically insert and place the doors and windows, controlling their location as accurately as possible. When you move a wall automatically updates all of its contiguity to other walls. It uses the familiar commands AutoCAD, for example, "Coupling" and "bevel".

Premises
Brands premises and the area of applied automatically. When you change the boundary elements relevant premises are updated automatically. This feature saves time and ensures accuracy of documentation. Rooms can be created using the displacement of the boundary elements based on standard or custom rules. Calculation of the area carried out in accordance with generally accepted standards such as BOMA, DIN, and SIS.

Elevations and Sections
Two dimensional sections and elevations are generated directly from the developed plans. If you change sections and elevations of the project is fully updated. Relevant changes affect the layers of color, line types and other properties.

 Building specifications
Styles specifications easily adapt to the standards of enterprises. The specification can enter the results of calculations performed in the model. Data from the specification of related objects and drawings are updated when any structural element.

Dimensioning
In AutoCAD Architecture for the walls and all their components are used AEC dimensions. When applying the dimensions are taken into account a variety of options for bindings: the axial lines of the walls, their outer surfaces, etc. When changes in the project do not need to manually update the associative dimensions, because They are converted automatically.

Built in visualization tools
With built in visualization tools can be prepared for a spectacular presentation of the customer at any stage is even when the project is not completed. Visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the working environment AutoCAD Architecture 2010. The program allows you to quickly transfer projects to review and approval by publishing DWF and DWFx.
