Unlocking New Possibilities with AutoCAD 2019

Subscribing to AutoCAD 2019 opens the door to an array of specialized toolsets, a modern web application, and a mobile app, along with enhanced features designed to boost productivity and collaboration. Subscribers can harness their design potential using specialized libraries tailored for various fields such as mechanical engineering, architecture, and geographic information systems (GIS). This release not only promises user efficiency but also mobility, facilitating work in diverse environments—from the office to the field.

Access to Specialized Toolsets

Upon subscription, users gain entry to seven specialized toolsets, each equipped with a vast library of over 750,000 intelligent components. These resources enable seamless drawing and design, making complex tasks simpler and quicker. For instance, the use of the Architecture toolset allows users to implement architectural elements directly, significantly reducing the time and steps involved in the design process when compared to traditional methods. The boost in efficiency encourages users to create intricate designs with ease.

Comprehensive Toolsets Overview

The following toolsets are included in the AutoCAD 2019 subscription:

  • Architecture Toolset: Contains over 8,000 intelligent objects to expedite architectural drawing and documentation processes.
  • Mechanical Toolset: Features over 700,000 intelligent parts and symbols geared towards enhancing product design efficiency.
  • Electrical Toolset: Provides users with over 65,000 electrical symbols, accelerating the creation of electrical systems.
  • MEP Toolset: Incorporates more than 10,500 intelligent mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components for effective documentation.
  • Plant 3D Toolset: Facilitates the generation of piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) within a 3D model framework.
  • Map 3D Toolset: Optimizes mapping capabilities by integrating GIS data with AutoCAD for enhanced data management.
  • Raster Design Toolset: Offers tools to convert scanned images into CAD-ready drawings.

Increased Mobility with Web and Mobile Applications

Subscribers will also benefit from the revolutionary AutoCAD web and mobile applications. The web app allows access to AutoCAD functionalities directly through a browser without the need for installation, making it easier to work on project files from various locations. Meanwhile, the mobile app enables edits, sharing, and creation of drawings on the go. Users can download files to work offline, ensuring uninterrupted productivity in any setting.

Seamless Workflow Enhancements

The “Save to Web & Mobile” feature allows seamless collaboration across platforms. Users can initiate work on a desktop version of AutoCAD and switch to mobile or web applications without losing progress. This interconnectivity makes it easier to handle projects dynamically, catering to various working conditions.

Drawing Differences Simplified with DWG Compare

The DWG Compare feature enhances the review process, allowing users to easily spot differences between revisions of drawings. This assists in identifying clashes and reviewing constructability swiftly. Users can view revision clouds to make sure no detail goes unnoticed during assessments, significantly improving workflow accuracy.

Efficiency Boost with 2D Enhancements

A notable advancement in AutoCAD 2019 includes enhancements in 2D performance, enabling faster redraw and regeneration of graphics—this is particularly valuable for large drawings or those containing raster images. Users can now navigate and modify designs more swiftly, contributing to an overall smoother user experience.

Modernized Visual Experience with New Icons

The visual interface of AutoCAD has been revamped with updated icons designed for modern screens. These icons enhance usability and visibility, particularly on high-resolution displays, ensuring that users can navigate the software with greater ease.
