AutoCAD 2010 builds on the major redesign of the AutoCAD user interface started in AutoCAD 2009 and adds in a range of new features aimed at making your workflow more efficient and the move to 3D design even smoother.

The advanced functionality of AutoCAD 2010 also provides a comprehensive technology platform for the various industry solutions from Autodesk, including AutoCAD Architecture 2010 and AutoCAD MEP 2010. It is also part of the Revit Suite solutions - Revit Architecture 2010, Revit MEP 2010 and Revit Structure 2010.

Features

Benefits

• New features for AutoCAD 2010 include:
  
  
• Free-form Design: With the new free-form design tools in AutoCAD 2010, you now have the power to design ideas in almost any form you can imagine. Effortlessly select faces, edges, or vertices within a 3D object using the new subobject selection filters. The enhanced 3D Gizmos enable you to edit your designs with precision by constraining the movement, rotation, or scale of selected objects to a specified axis or plane.
  
  
• Parametric Drawing: Dramatically slash your design revision time with new parametric drawing tools. Now, you can constrain drawing objects based on design intent—ensuring that specific relationships and measurements remain persistent even as objects are modified. With both geometric and dimensional constraints, AutoCAD 2010 is your answer to those time-consuming revision requests!
  
  
• PDF Enhancements: A top customer wish-list request, AutoCAD 2010 enables you use design data from PDF files in your AutoCAD designs. With the new capabilities, you simply attach a PDF file to an AutoCAD drawing—in the same, familiar way you attach DWG™, DWF™, DGN, and image files. You can even snap to key points on PDF geometry using familiar object snaps, making reuse of old designs that much easier.
  
  
• Enhanced Ribbon Interface: The newly enhanced ribbon interface helps increase your overall drafting productivity, as its context-sensitive behavior requires fewer clicks to reach a command. It presents command options in a concise visual format, so you can quickly make selections that suit the work you’re doing. The ribbon is both customizable and expandable, so it can be optimized for each user and to meet each company’s standards. With this intuitive user interface, you’ll reach new heights of productivity.
  
  
• Create physical models: Do more than just visualise your designs—make them real. Output your 3D models directly to your 3D printer, or connect through AutoCAD to an online service provider. Impress clients—and add a serious “wow” factor to your presentations—with physical models of your ideas.
