Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 is computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers, and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.

Import a wide variety of other formats, including SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, Rhino, and when an engineering change is made, drawing views, edge display, and location are instantly updated.

The drafting, detailing, and conceptual design leader is showing the way once again. AutoCAD 2018 propels day-to-day drafting forward with features that increase speed and accuracy while saving time. Annotation scaling and layer properties per viewport minimize workarounds, while text and table enhancements and multiple leaders help deliver an unmatched level of aesthetic precision and professionalism.
