Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2011

AutoCAD Architecture 2011 combines the tools of architectural design and a familiar working environment AutoCAD ®, which provides a high-end effectiveness of design and collaboration. All familiar AutoCAD environment is filled with specialized tools for architectural design and production of working drawings. Experience in AutoCAD ensures outstanding performance from the first second. The program supports cooperative work. Easily communicate with specialists in the design of engineering systems of buildings and building support is provided by leading industry file format DWG.

Top features:

Convenient user interface
New interface AutoCAD Architecture 2011 is characterized by an optimal organization, the larger area of the graphics area, expedited access to tools and commands. Improved interface is used in many CAD Autodesk, which allows users to spend a minimum time for training during the transition to new software products.

Walls, doors and windows
Make drawings, create documents using walls, doors and windows, which represent the real architectural objects. Edit the wall and their properties at the component level, which allows you to improve the functioning of various types of walls - inclined, angled, intersecting and fireproof. Program allows you to automatically insert and place the doors and windows, controlling their location as precisely as possible. When you move the wall are automatically updated every junction to her other walls.

Premises
Brands premises and the area of applied automatically. When you change the boundary elements corresponding spaces are updated automatically. Rooms can be created by the displacement of the boundary elements on the basis of 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. When you change the draft sections and elevations is fully updated. These changes affect the layers, colors, line types and other properties.

Dimensioning
In AutoCAD Architecture for the walls and all their components are used AEC-size. When applying size accounted for a variety of options bindings: to axial lines of the walls, their outer surfaces, etc. When changes in the draft does not require manual updating associative dimensions, because they are converted automatically.

Built-in visualization
With built-in visualization tools can be prepared for a spectacular presentation of the customer - even when the project is not complete. Visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the working environment AutoCAD Architecture 2011. The program allows you to quickly transfer projects to review and approval by publishing DWF and DWFx.
