AutoCAD Architecture user interface has now undergone optimization to cater for high-resolution displays and scale accordingly Wall Style, Curtain Wall, Callout, Plumbing Line, MvPart and Cable Tray dialog boxes as user increases the text size via properties of Windows display.
AutoCAD Architecture 2020 has undergone significant changes in terms of overall look based on multiple comments from users, to enhance crispness and clarity of the dark theme. The changes have been applied both, to dark and light theme as well. The background and icon colours have been changed in order to generate the optimized contrast while not distracting the drawing area, which is usually the zone of main focus.
In addition, the latest version has also received around 150 new MVBlocks and block references, both US Imperial and US Metric to broaden Design Centre capabilities. Take note, that the added content is applicable for English language only and contains Residential, Vehicles, Food Service, Sustainable Design, Furnishing, Site, and others.
Doors in Xref drawings can be selected from the Door Schedule as well as Schedule table and updated further with Door details. The overall area of zones and spaces is being correctly round off in 2020 version. IFCEXPORT is now able to handle layers visibility for nested blocks.
Drawings can be developed via element parts and keynoting instruments. Users can design and develop renovations faster and more precisely. Latest drawing symbols provide guidance throughout entire work and develop smooth execution. One of the new features in AutoCAD Architecture 2020 is operated robotically and can detect openings in partitions, flooring, and ceilings as well.
Conclusion
In overall, AutoCAD Architecture 2020 demonstrates signification improvements to key workflows and software structure, which results in more precise engineering designs, reduced time to complete tasks and complete software reliability and stability.
I've been using Maya since 2000, a year after it came out. It's disgustingly obvious at this point that now that we're all forced onto subscriptions for many years, the features they add each year are clearly not worth the tens of thousands of dollars we have to pay for 5 to 10 licenses. Those of you who haven't been around long enough on the 3D scene don't understand how much you're paying for so very little. Autodesk no longer have any motivation to give us anything substantial because if we don't pay them, then they terminate our ability to use their software. They cooked up this idea back in 2017, and it's been down hill ever since. We have no way to retaliate, other than to revert back to using version 2018 (the last perpetual license version). We now live in the age of software hell.

I just got my hands on Civil 3D 2024, and it's a game-changer! The advanced features and intuitive interface have made my job much easier. So glad I made this purchase!

I have been working with Revit for several years now, we use it to effectively interact with different departments. Among the advantages, I want to note an excellent rendering engine. And, for example, in this program, stairs can be quickly and easily modeled. Try all the features of Revit 2021 and make sure it's really effective!
