The AutoCAD® 2022 software offers industry-specific toolsets, a more connected experience across different platforms and Autodesk products, as well as innovative automations like Count. You can conveniently review and provide feedback directly on a DWG file without modifying the original drawing. Share a controlled version of your drawing with teammates and colleagues, enabling them to access it from any location. Additionally, you can detach drawing windows to view them side by side or across multiple monitors within the same AutoCAD session. Enjoy improved performance, particularly in plotting and 3D graphics, and easily export your CAD drawing sheets as PDFs to Autodesk Docs directly from AutoCAD, enhancing collaboration and efficiency. With these advancements, your design process can become not only quicker but also more precise and user-friendly.
