AutoCAD® software lets you design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently. With AutoCAD 2009 you’ll move to new highs of productivity. New features help conceptualize and visualize designs, accelerate tasks, and allow commands to be easily found.

If you haven’t looked at it in a while, now is the time to check out AutoCAD software. From powerful 3D modeling through robust documentation and visualization tools, AutoCAD 2009 is packed with 2D and 3D CAD functionality to help you shape, expand, and visualize your ideas.

Some Features:

Solid and Surface Modeling and Visualization
Robust modeling capabilities enable you to shape and visualize your ideas unlike ever before. The redesigned interface uses a single, easy-to-learn environment for creating both solids and surfaces. Users can now create solid objects that have faces defined by complex surfaces. Applying materials to a model is a simple task. Just drag materials from a predefined library onto any solid face or surface defined in their model.

Users can now make highly accurate, photorealistic rendered images available for any purpose. Use these images to win contracts, meet planning requirements, or study the effects of changes on the design.

User Interface
With the ribbon interface, overall drafting productivity is increased as the number of steps to reach a command is decreased. The ribbon is both customizable and expandable so that it can be optimized for each user and can meet each company’s standards.
