A subscription to AutoCAD including specialised toolsets gives users access to seven industry-specific toolsets.

Autodesk Inc., the global multinational software corporation that makes software services for the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, education, and entertainment industries, has released AutoCAD 2021. AutoCAD 2021 is full of new features built for the way professionals work and automation to boost productivity in the process. A subscription to AutoCAD including specialised toolsets gives users access to seven industry-specific toolsets, such as Architecture and Electrical, which can automate tasks and save hours, even days, of valuable time. With state-of-the-art AutoCAD web and mobile apps included with an AutoCAD subscription, users can access AutoCAD on virtually any device to design and draft with the most up-to-date files, in the field and on the go.

There is so much to experience with AutoCAD 2021. The new Drawing History feature can be a game changer for workflow, giving you insights on the evolution of drawings. Now, one can use the popular DWG Compare feature for external references (Xrefs) attached to drawing. Graphics performance is further enhanced. And one can stay connected to block content anytime, anywhere.

There is a brand-new integration with Google Drive. Anyone can now open DWG files stored in Google Drive directly in the AutoCAD web app using their Autodesk ID. AutoCAD subscribers are also able to edit and save those files back to their Google Drive, enabling customers to work from anywhere. Of course, one can also view, edit, and save DWG files and Xrefs with the AutoCAD web and mobile apps using Autodesk’s cloud.

“Our subscribers will really appreciate what our development teams have been working on to modernize AutoCAD based on their feedback,” says Marcus O’Brien, Director of AutoCAD product management. “This new release delivers enhancements and features that will make a difference in efficiency and productivity right away.”
