Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2011

AutoCAD Architecture 2011 combines the tools of architectural design and a familiar working environment AutoCAD ®, which provides a high degree of 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 high performance from the first second. In order to start work in AutoCAD Architecture, does not require lengthy training. You will immediately feel how easy to create drawings, specifications and other documentation in a familiar working environment. 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. To illustrate the projects our customers are the functions of realistic visualization, based on the integrated media rendering.

Features:

Convenient user interface
New interface AutoCAD Architecture 2011 is characterized by an optimal organization, the greater area of the graphics area, and expedited access to tools and commands. Now to find the necessary tools and instructions will require less time. 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.

Drawings nodes
For a more rapid formation of the documentation and explanation of causing the program offers an extensive library of component parts and remarks on the drawing. With their help accelerate the creation of such design elements as the rigs are inscriptions, annotations and links to sites. Explanations placed in the drawing just a few clicks.

Walls, doors and windows
You can do the drawings, and create documents using walls, doors and windows, which represent the real architectural objects. You can 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. The program allows you to automatically insert and place the doors and windows, controlling their location as accurately as possible. When you move the wall are automatically updated every junction to her other walls. It uses familiar commands AutoCAD, for example, "Coupling" and "Chamfer".

Premises
Brands premises and the area of applied automatically. When you change the boundary elements corresponding spaces are updated automatically. This feature saves time and ensures accuracy of documentation. 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.

Building specifications
Styles specifications easily adapts to meet the standards of enterprises. The specification can record the results of calculations carried out in the model. Data from the specification is dynamically linked to objects and drawings are updated when you change any element of design.

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 at any stage - 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.
