AutoCAD 2016: attention to detail at the service of graphic precision

Autodesk, Inc. announces the availability of AutoCAD 2016, the latest version of one of the most popular computer-aided design (CAD) applications in the world.

AutoCAD 2016 release includes several new features that speed up 2D and 3D design, project documentation and collaboration processes while enriching the visual experience to design almost any shape imaginable.

Additionally, users can share their work with confidence using TrustedDWG ™ technology, the most accurate way to store and exchange design data.

Improved CAD graphics experience

Advances to drawing boards in AutoCAD 2016 dramatically improve onscreen graphics accuracy. Better readability and sharper detail means smooth curves and arcs replace broken line segments. AutoCAD now takes full advantage of the latest graphics hardware to deliver richer and faster graphics accuracy. Users can expect to get more results and minimize the need to "clear" an order through "Order Preview". Other improvements include:

With AutoCAD 2016, the size of PDF output is smaller, while maintaining faithful graphics rendering. PDFs are now fully indexed, retain all hyperlinks, and can be attached to drawings faster.
The “smart sizing” feature automatically creates suitable measurements based on the selected object type, making it easy to accurately calculate measurements from the drawing context.

By combining new features for reality capture and coordination for BIM projects, the tools in AutoCAD 2016 help users dramatically increase efficiency and maximize productivity, paving the way for faster design and documentation and more. precise.

"AutoCAD 2016 makes getting descriptions and documentation faster, while fantastic graphics enhancements bring a new level of clarity and depth to every stage of the design," says Amy Bunszel, vice president of AutoCAD products at Autodesk. "Our users will also notice increased productivity through improved PDF output and closer coordination in Building Data Modeling (BIM) projects."

AVAILABILITY

Availability of AutoCAD 2016 products varies by country. In addition, several purchase options are possible. Users can choose between a perpetual license with or without Maintenance Subscription, or Desktop Subscription with pay-as-you-go billing on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. In addition to this subscription flexibility, Desktop Subscription gives users access to the latest updates, personalized technical support, and priority support on the forums.

"This product grows larger thanks to these improvements", explains senior architect Dr. Santi Maggio Savasta, M.Arch, Ph.D., of Santi Maggio Savasta Architect. "The improvements to text sizing and editing, not to mention all the drawing aids part, make you more efficient and faster, and give you real-time insight into what you're up to." in the process of achieving ”.
