AutoCAD Architecture 2013

If you are an architect who knows AutoCAD® software, you can start using AutoCAD® Architecture software with minimal training to create drawings, documentation, and schedules faster. Purpose-built with architects in mind, AutoCAD Architecture automates tedious drafting tasks to help reduce errors and increase efficiency. As you work, you can discover new and useful features at your own pace.

Smooth Collaboration

Easily share designs and project information with clients and members of your extended project team. Use integrated rendering tools to create contextualised design visualisations for clear client communication and accelerated approvals. Rely on industry leading DWG™ technology to exchange information with colleagues. Expedite project review cycles by publishing files directly to DWF™ or DWFx formats. And exchange files with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers and structural engineers who use other AutoCAD-based and IFC 2x3 certified programs.
