AutoCAD 2010 Features

Document Designs Quickly and Efficiently with AutoCAD

Drive your projects from concept to completion with the powerful documentation tools in AutoCAD software. Work faster with automation, management, and editing tools that minimise repetitive tasks and speed your time to completion.

Reduce Design Revision Time with Parametric Drawing

Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically.

Organise Sheet Sets

Organisation isn’t a luxury. The AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager organises your drawing sheets, reduces steps to publish, automatically creates layout views, links sheet set information into title blocks and plot stamps, and performs tasks across a sheet set so everything is in one convenient place.

Easily Manipulate Text

Now you can easily manipulate text by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type. Adjust the text’s appearance as needed using familiar tools common in text-editing applications, including paragraph and column tools to achieve professional-quality formatting.

Create and Edit Multiple Leaders

With multileader tools, creating and editing leaders is easy. Define multileader styles to ensure consistency across leaders, add multiple leader lines to a single leader object, and even include bubbles or blocks as leader content.

Automate Table Creation and Maintenance

Increase your productivity by automating the tedious task of creating and maintaining tables. You can define table styles to easily apply consistent table formatting including fonts, colours, borders, and much more.

Quickly and Easily Extract Data

Quickly and easily extract property data from objects in drawings (including blocks and attributes) and drawing information with the Data Extraction wizard. The extracted data can then be automatically output to a table or an external file.

Link Excel Data to AutoCAD Designs

Easily link Excel data to your AutoCAD designs for consistency and efficiency. Data links can be updated in both directions, eliminating the need to update tables or external spreadsheets independently. All linked information can easily be kept current and in sync automatically.

Standardise Drawings with Dynamic Blocks

Save time and standardise drawings with ease. With Dynamic Blocks, you no longer have to redraw repetitive standard components, and you can reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process. Dynamic Blocks make individual block geometry editable and eliminate the need to define a new block for every variation of shape and size.

Save Time with Dynamic Prompts and Menus

Focus on the design, not the tools. Dynamic Input displays a command line type of prompt right at the cursor so you can launch commands, view dimensions, and enter values without looking at the command line. With the Quick Properties menu you can dramatically save time by viewing and modifying relevant object properties right at your cursor.

Efficient User Interface Eases Working with Multiple Files

Working with several files doesn’t have to be painful anymore. The Quick View feature uses thumbnails in addition to file names, so you can visually find and open the correct drawing file and layout even faster than before. Within the Menu Browser you can also quickly browse files, examine thumbnail images, and get detailed information about file size and file creator.
