Design, Visualize, Document, Share

Realize your ideas with efficiency and clarity, from conceptual design through drafting and detailing. Whether you’re creating solids and surfaces, studying the effects of lighting on your design, exploring design alternatives with walk-through animations, or producing an entire sheet set, AutoCAD® 2007 software has the tools to make it happen quickly and accurately.






Give It Shape

An idea is only an idea until you do something with it, and with AutoCAD 2007, you can take your ideas to new heights, crafting and creating until what you’ve imagined is what you see. Combining your familiar AutoCAD with an up-dated conceptual design environment, AutoCAD 2007 helps you quickly create, edit, and navigate solids and surfaces. Visualize your model while you draw with dynamic input, easily create solids by taking advantage of familiar 2D design tools, and quickly extrude 2D geometry to produce solids. Whether you’re creating and editing com-plex solids or surfaces, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to design your idea to match your vision.


Give It Impact

Once you’ve shaped your idea, it’s time to make it real. AutoCAD 2007 allows you to manipulate lighting effects by quickly and accurately placing lights in a drawing to see their effect on shadows in real time without having to render the image ? rst. Drag materials from a prede? ned library onto any solid face or surface, which then scale automatically, or edit the materials to create your own customized library. You can also create intui-tive walk-throughs with the Walk and Path anima-tion tools, enabling you to easily explore and ? ne-tune design alternatives. And by incorporat-ing the mental ray® rendering engine, the very latest in rendering technology, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to communicate your vision clearly and effectively to clients and customers without having to get technical.


Give It Precision

Use the new Section and Flatten tools to quickly extract drawing information from your conceptual model. Create an elevation or plan view that’s ready to be dimensioned and an-notated as part of the drawing creation process with the Section tool, or automatically project your model down to a 2D illustration with the Flatten tool. You can also access multiple varia-tions on a single block and dramatically reduce cumbersome block libraries with Dynamic Blocks, all while pumping up productivity by ac-cessing dimensions and command options right at the cursor with Dynamic Input. When it comes to documentation delivery, nobody does it better than AutoCAD 2007.


Give It Life

And what good is a great idea if you can’t share it? No matter what your business, the new technology enhancements in AutoCAD 2007 can help you be more productive by making it easy to exchange data seamlessly with Autodesk’s industry-speci? c applications, such as Autodesk® Revit® Building, Autodesk Inventor®, Autodesk Map® 3D, and Autodesk® Civil 3D® software products. AutoCAD 2007 is the perfect way to get your feet wet before moving on to more ad-vanced Autodesk 3D modeling applications. And if you’re looking to share data with the extended design team, use DWFTM technology—the perfect way to securely exchange rich 2D and 3D design information.


So come explore your ideas with the newest release of AutoCAD. Because in the end, a great idea is only as good as how you realize it. And with AutoCAD 2007, you’ve never had a better partner.
