Autodesk AutoCAD 2025

Leverage Autodesk’s advanced AI capabilities to efficiently scan your drawings for potential block candidates. Instantly transform selected objects into newly defined blocks, existing or previously used blocks, or recommended options from your Block Libraries—all with minimal manual intervention. This intelligent approach ensures consistent use of standardized components, cuts down on repetitive editing tasks, and streamlines your overall drafting workflow.

Accelerate design workflows and optimize project efficiency using an AI-driven feature that automatically identifies and converts recognized objects into blocks. By minimizing manual intervention, this approach helps maintain consistent drafting standards and frees up valuable time for more critical design tasks. As a technology preview, this functionality is still in active development, ensuring ongoing improvements in accuracy, speed, and user experience as it evolves.

Maintain complete oversight of your project’s design data with detailed multi-user event logs, capturing more than 35 distinct activity types—ranging from version history to file comparisons. Whether files are managed through Autodesk Docs, stored locally, or hosted on third-party cloud platforms, Activity Insights consolidates critical information to keep stakeholders informed. This real-time tracking supports smoother collaboration, fosters design transparency, and ensures data integrity across diverse storage environments.

Seamlessly integrate PDF markups from Autodesk Docs into AutoCAD, ensuring that feedback remains visible and actionable. Once synchronized, ongoing markups in Autodesk Docs automatically update within a dedicated Trace layer, letting you review and address comments without juggling multiple applications. This streamlined workflow enhances design clarity, minimizes oversights, and significantly accelerates iteration cycles.

Enhance design clarity and visual impact with modernized updates to the time-tested HATCH command. Effortlessly apply patterns, fills, and paths—without depending on pre-defined shapes or enclosed boundaries—to lend texture and depth to your drawings. By eliminating restrictive constraints, this feature streamlines drafting workflows, allowing for more intuitive, creative control while maintaining precision and consistency throughout your designs.

Receive rapid technical guidance and creative solutions through a user-friendly, AI-powered interface. Ask questions about specific features or design hurdles right within AutoCAD, and obtain concise, actionable responses alongside relevant learning resources. This conversational assistant streamlines troubleshooting and fosters on-the-job learning, keeping your design process uninterrupted and ensuring you stay focused on delivering top-quality work.

Elevate site plans with precise geographic context through direct integration of Esri’s ArcGIS Basemaps. Choose from five distinct map styles—ranging from high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery to OpenStreetMap data and monochromatic light or dark gray basemaps—to visualize your project against an accurate real-world backdrop. This enriched spatial insight supports informed decision-making, streamlines planning, and boosts overall design clarity.
