The Architecture toolset gives you all the tools you need to complete your projects faster and scale your project pipeline. Boost architectural design and drafting productivity by up to up to 61%* with time-saving features and task automation:
The toolset creates multiple layers according to the current standard, using predefined layer standards and matching layer key styles. This lets you automatically generate layers as needed when you add objects to a drawing.
So far from the post-install, everything is working the same way as it did before: treating all the toolsets as if they were stand-alone products. Will Autodesk ever come around to integrate the toolsets as a switch in the ribbon tab or part of a command or lisp somehow to switch from one tool set to another? It's pretty annoying to deal with so many separate profiles or needing to load my profile to each toolset. Not to mention that it seems like a partial effort when there's like over 20 desktop shortcut icons to load Autocad in various ways. Couldn't this all be simplified as the idea implies "AutoCAD One" as in 1 desktop icon and make it so that the user interface loads up the proper or selected toolset without needing to open another session of AutoCAD using the respective to the "/product" AutoCAD.exe command?
but isn't this "AutoCAD One" the first step as a "bundle" offer?
I know with many people in the past have their opinions on it. but with now with the toolsets now available under 1 license, wouldn't it make sense to do away with the "/product" switch and have it as a button or pulldown menu of which tool set you want to use rather than relying on using desktop shorcuts or other methods to deploy the product and have it load up all respective stuff?
Being in a multi-discipline environment/company is the first item I have to keep in mind to work with.
Does anyone know how you can access the electrical toolset in AutoCAD 2021? As a student, I can no longer download AutoCAD Electrical 2021 onto my personal device, but the site says that all of the electrical features are included in AutoCAD 2021. However, I cannot figure out how to access those features. Could someone please lend some guidance on that end? Thanks!
My work machine was just upgrade from AutoCAD 2018 to 2021. It was my understating that toolsets, such as the Electrical Toolset, are now included with AutoCAD (no separate electrical version). The problem is neither myself or the IT guy who installed AutoCAD 2021 can figure out how to use/enable/install any toolsets. I am primarily interested in the Electrical Tool set.
I suspect the new scheme will affect the subscription price. But will it benefit you? Maybe. The question is will you use those toolsets? Will you actually get more? Share your opinion about the big change in the comment section.
AutoCAD is the leader in CAD drafting. AutoCAD Architecture is one of the toolsets available in one AutoCAD. Architecture adds a specialized toolset that allows architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals build more detailed construction drawings. Simple lines and arcs are replaced by intelligent windows, walls, and doors. Layer management is automated and simplified, and features like room tags and linked schedules make updates easy.
