Description

Autodesk AutoCAD is a complete computer-aided design and drafting solution that transforms the way professionals conceptualize, document, and deliver projects. Built for precision and creativity, AutoCAD supports 2D drafting and 3D modeling with intelligent tools for solids, surfaces, and meshes. The AutoCAD 2026 release integrates Autodesk AI, automating repetitive tasks like object placement, markup interpretation, and drawing comparisons to save hours of manual effort. Users can collaborate seamlessly using Autodesk Docs, ensuring consistent document management and version control across teams. With built-in AutoLISP, APIs, and the Autodesk App Store, the software is endlessly customizable for specialized workflows. Its seven industry-specific toolsets—including Architecture, MEP, and Plant 3D—optimize productivity and deliver specialized functionality for each discipline. AutoCAD’s cloud connectivity enables real-time co-authoring and access from any device. Whether for buildings, infrastructure, or products, AutoCAD remains the most trusted platform for professional design innovation.

Description

The new power tool for home improvements. Mobile 3D scanning is fast and easy for DIY professionals and home service professionals. Canvas is powered by the Structure Sensor, the world's first mobile depth scanner, making it easy to capture a 3D model. Tap scan, walk around the room and you'll see a scale-accurate model built right on your iPad. Canvas captures thousands of measurements at once and then assembles them into an interactive 3D model. Your 3D model can be saved to your iPad so you can return to any space at any time. You're only a few taps away from capturing a forgotten measurement or refresh your memory about a particular viewpoint. Professional-grade CAD output saves you hours. Our Scan to CAD service will convert your scan into a editable, professional-grade CAD file.
