AutoCAD 2016 Helps Design Every Detail With Rich Visual Accuracy
March 23 2015 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today announced the availability of
AutoCAD 2016, the latest release of one of the world’s leading
computer-aided design (CAD) applications.
The 2016 release includes scores of new features that accelerate
the 2D and 3D design, documentation and collaboration process while
enriching the on-screen experience of creating almost any shape
imaginable. In addition, users can confidently share their work
with others using TrustedDWG™ technology, the original and most
accurate way to store and exchange design data.
“AutoCAD 2016 makes detailing and documentation work faster,
while stunning visual enhancements bring a new level of clarity and
depth to every aspect of a design,” said Amy Bunszel, vice
president of AutoCAD products, Autodesk. “Our customers will also
appreciate productivity boosts like enhanced PDF output and tighter
coordination with Building Information Modeling (BIM).”
“The enhancements brought this product to another level,” said
senior architect, Dr. Santi Maggio Savasta, M.Arch, Ph.D., with
Santi Maggio Savasta Architect. “The improvements brought to
dimensioning and text editing, not to mention the whole section
related to the drawing aids, allow you to be more effective and
quick, giving you a real-time preview of what you are doing, while
you are doing it.”
An Enhanced Visual CAD Experience
Improvements to the drawing canvas in AutoCAD 2016 dramatically
improve the visual accuracy seen on screen. Enhanced readability
and detail means smooth curves and arcs replace jagged line
segments. AutoCAD now takes full advantage of the latest graphics
hardware to deliver a richer, yet faster, visual experience. Users
can predict more results and minimize the need to “undo” a command
with expanded Command Preview. Other enhancements include:
- AutoCAD 2016 also outputs enhanced PDFs
that are significantly smaller, while retaining visual fidelity.
PDFs are now fully searchable, maintain all hyperlinks and can be
attached to drawings faster.
- Improved Smart Dimensioning
automatically creates appropriate measurements based on the type of
objects selected, making it easier to accurately calculate
measurements based on the drawing context.
Together with new features for reality computing and BIM
coordination, the tools in AutoCAD 2016 help users significantly
increase efficiency and maximize productivity—clearing the way to
faster, more precise design and documentation.
