The new AutoCAD 2007 platform is sophisticated enough for complex projects, yet beginners will find it accessible.
The AutoCAD 2007 platform delivers a powerful and intuitive interface for quick and easy shape creation and modification, as well as new features that enable customers across multiple industries to fully explore their design during early project phases, providing faster feedback and more opportunities for design exploration.
More than 1,000 beta customers around the world have tested and helped shape this latest version.
"It is amazing how Autodesk continues to add more features and greater ease of use into AutoCAD.
Having focused on greater 3D design productivity with AutoCAD 2007 they have fulfilled my needs as a CAD Manager by extending and enhancing the existing features," said Doug Barense, CAD discipline leader and senior job captain at Progressive AE.
"With AutoCAD 2007, we can create the designs our clients expect without additional software, saving time and money." Autodesk's vertical products will also take advantage of AutoCAD platform improvements and deliver marked improvements to the already robust 3D modelling environments.
For customers who use multiple Autodesk design tools, such as AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit or Autodesk Inventor software products, data exchange and interoperability have been significantly improved.
By standardising technologies across the product lines, clients can take advantage of these vertical-specific applications and take the 3D environment to the next level by adding intelligence to the data, as well as interconnectivity of the design elements.
"For more than two decades, we have evolved AutoCAD software to meet the demands of our customers and take them one step further".
"Our customers have told us they want sophisticated yet easy-to-use tools integrated into their familiar AutoCAD environment".
"With AutoCAD 2007, we now have a comprehensive tool that addresses the entire design process, from conceptualisation all the way through documentation," said John Sanders, vice president of Autodesk's Platform Technology Division. Request a free brochure from Autodesk ...
