- So here we are in AutoCAD 2023.
And you can see we've got a floor plan open.
Open it up in your version of AutoCAD
to check out what a 2D floor plan drawing
actually looks like when you're working on it.
So what are the advantages of AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is the world's most well known
computer-aided design application.
Computer-aided design is often known as CAD for short.
And with its file format DWG, being supported
by many other third party applications all over the world,
AutoCAD is one of the world leaders when it comes to CAD.
The full version of AutoCAD supports both 2D and 3D design,
allowing for the creation
of 2D drawings and plans and 3D models.
AutoCAD supports many output formats.
So your designs and models can be exported and imported
into other applications in the design workflow.
Your 3D designs can even be 3D printed if required.
AutoCAD also supports many other file formats,
allowing third-party designs and models
to be imported into AutoCAD,
which can then be converted to the DWG file format
in your AutoCAD workflow and processes as well.
AutoCAD is subscription-based too.
So you can set up a subscription to suit your usage
and financial requirements,
which can then be easily managed via your Autodesk account.
The AutoCAD DWG format is highly established
in the design world, allowing for easy collaboration
with your CAD team and other stakeholders and collaborators
on projects you're working on.
AutoCAD is also available in a browser-base version
and a mobile version.
This gives your designs full mobility
in the DWG file format.
Imagine being able to jump quickly into a browser
to show a client a new design.
Or work with your tablet on a construction site
instead of using paper drawings.
AutoCAD comes in many shapes and forms, known as toolsets,
ranging from architectural to electrical,
and mechanical, and more.
So take advantage of AutoCAD, the world's leader
in computer-aided design,
and learn everything you need to know to get started.
