Text settings: Create single or multi-line text (mtext) as a single text object. Format the text, columns and boundaries.

Dimensions: Create dimensions automatically. Pass the cursor over selected objects to get a preview before you create it.

Leaders: Create leaders with a variety of content, including text or blocks. Easily format leader lines and define styles.

Centrelines and centre marks: Create and edit centrelines and centre marks that automatically move when you move the associated objects.

Tables: Create tables with data and symbols in rows and columns, apply formulas and link to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Revision clouds: Draw revision clouds around new changes in a drawing to quickly identify your updates.

Views: Save views by name to easily return to a specific view for quick reference or for applying to layout viewports.

Layouts: Specify the size of your drawing sheet, add a title block and display multiple views of your model.

Fields: Use fields in text objects to display text that can be updated automatically as the field value changes.

Data linking: Enable simultaneous updates by creating a live link between a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and a table in your drawing.

Data extraction: Extract information from objects, blocks and attributes, including drawing information.

Dynamic blocks: Add flexibility and intelligence to your block references, including changing the shape, size, or configuration.

Arrays: Create and modify objects in circular or rectangular patterns, or along a path.

Parametric constraints; Apply geometric and dimensional constraints to maintain relationships between drawing geometry.

Express tools: Extend the power of AutoCAD with a collection of productivity tools.

Solid, surface and mesh modelling: Create realistic 3D models of your design using a combination of solid, surface and mesh modelling tools.

3D navigation (orbit, ViewCube, wheel): Use 3D viewing and navigation tools to orbit, swivel, walk and fly around a 3D model to showcase your design.

Visual styles: Apply visual styles to control the display of edges, lighting and shading of your 3D model.

Section planes: Create section planes to display cross-sectional views through solids, surfaces, meshes, or regions.

Rendering: Apply lighting and materials to give your 3D models a realistic appearance and to help communicate your designs.

Point clouds" Attach point cloud files acquired by 3D laser scanners or other technologies to use as a starting point for your designs.

Model documentation: Generate 2D drawings including base, projected, section and detail views from 3D models.

Print Studio: Print Studio provides the tools needed to prepare models for supported 3D printers and materials.

PDF files: Share and re-use data from PDF files by importing, exporting, or attaching them as underlays.

DGN Files: Share and re-use data from DGN files by importing, exporting, or attaching them as underlays.

DWG references: Attach DWG files to your current drawing as externally referenced files.

Image references: Attach image files to your current drawing as externally referenced files.

Sheet sets: View, access, manage and plot multiple drawings as sheet sets.

Model references and import: Attach Navisworks models as underlays to your drawings and import models from other applications.

Geographic location and on-line maps: Insert geographic location information into a drawing and display a map in the drawing from an on-line map service.

TrustedDWG technology: TrustedDWG™ technology alerts you to a possible incompatibility when a file was not last saved by Autodesk software.

CUI customisation: Customise the user interface to improve accessibility and reduce the number of steps for frequent tasks.

Secure load: Specify security restrictions for running executables in AutoCAD to help protect against malicious executable code.

Action recorder: Record commands and input values that can be played back as an action macro.

Multi-user (network) licence sharing: Pool licences on a server to reduce costs when not all licences are in use at the same time.

System variable monitor: Monitor current system variables against a preferred list of values. Notification balloons alert you of deviations.

CAD standards checker: Define and monitor CAD standards to maintain consistent styles for layers, linetypes, text and dimensions.

Application Programming Interface (API): Control drawings and databases with ActiveX, VBS, AutoLisp, Visual LISP, ObjectARX, JavaScript and .NET.

Autodesk App Store: Customise your software with Autodesk-approved extensions.

Autodesk desktop app: Get alerts and install software updates without disrupting your workflow. View tutorials about new features.
