The new experience

Discover the new interface of AutoCAD

2015. The darker theme reduces eyestrain

and allows fine lines, buttons, and text to

stand out. The refined appearance extends

to canvas, including grips and selection

highlighting. Repositioned buttons improve

functionality to help you workfaster.

The updated interface is better suited to

modern hardware‑accelerated 2D and 3D

graphics. 2D vectors paint on screen faster

and panning and zooming functions run

faster as well. The software truly takes

advantage of the graphics hardware

available in the latest computers.

The AutoCAD experience was completely

redesigned by incorporating user feedback.

The new interface is consistent with other

professional products and the response has

been overwhelmingly positive. All of the

buttons remain fully customizable, and you

can even revert back to a lighter theme.

Discover the new AutoCAD today.

Protect your designs with TrustedDWG

technology

You’ve invested thousands, if not tens of

thousands, of dollars in developing your

designs. Help retain the integrity of your design

data throughout the review process with

TrustedDWGtechnology.

Built into AutoCAD, TrustedDWG is the original,

most ecient, and most accurate way to store and

share design data. TrustedDWG files are created

using a complete technology that maintains

each element in a drawing, and the relationship

between elements, with data fidelity. With over

30 years of technology wrapped up in every

TrustedDWG file, it helps you preserve and protect

your invaluable designs.
