Architectural Desktop 2007 Student Portfolio 1-Year License

Architectural Desktop provides the best AutoCAD–based design and documentation productivity for architects. With its easy-to-use features and flexible implementation options, drafting and construction document production is easier, faster, and more accurate.

Autodesk Architectural Desktop enables you to create your architectural documentation faster. The software also gives you more tools that automate tedious drafting tasks, making document coordination even easier.

Features include:

Details
Do documenting and annotating designs consume too much time? Complete these tasks faster with Architectural Desktop's robust library of detail components and powerful keynoting tools. Automate the creation of details and maintain consistent annotation. And when your details are complete, generate keynote legends with just a few clicks.

Walls, Doors, and Windows
Looking for a faster way to create and modify floor plans? Take advantage of architectural objects, such as walls, doors, and windows that behave like their real-world counterparts. Automatically insert a door or window into a wall with complete placement control. Move a wall, and connected walls and spaces will automatically update. To describe more complex design conditions, walls have improved interaction with other objects, even enabling you to show interference conditions with columns across external references (xrefs).

Scheduling
New graphic display and calculation tools help ensure that your schedules are accurate and adhere to company standards. Whether you are customizing the appearance of out-of-the-box schedule styles, or creating completely new schedules from scratch, complete with your required calculations, you can do so with ease. Since schedules are linked directly to your designs, you can update them to reflect any design changes at the click of a button.

Spaces
Looking for a more efficient and productive way to tag floor plans with room areas? With Architectural Desktop, you can now automatically tag every room in a drawing, complete with room areas. And, since you can update spaces as room boundaries change at the click of a button, tags and areas will update automatically, saving you time in maintaining accurate documentation.

Flexibility
Because Architectural Desktop is built on AutoCAD software, you can work the way you do today, integrating more powerful architectural-specific features at your own pace. This phased approach helps to reduce the downtime often associated with implementing new software. In addition, Architectural Desktop's file-based approach is consistent with the standards and practices of current AutoCAD users.

Dimensioning
Does a change in your design require manual updates to your dimensioning? Let Architectural Desktop's AEC Dimensions help. With even greater flexibility, you can now dimension any wall—and all its components—according to your own dimensioning standards, including wall stud centerlines and faces. And since the dimensions are associative they automatically update as your designs change, eliminating the tedium of many manual updates.

Integrated Rendering
Do you find it challenging to accurately and effectively convey design ideas and intent to clients? Bring designs to life for impressive client presentations at any stage of the design with integrated rendering. The streamlined visualization capabilities are fully integrated into the Architectural Desktop workflow. Make your presentations stand out by visually communicating richer design information.
