Autocad Productivity Study Highlights Architecture

The document summarizes a study comparing basic AutoCAD to the AutoCAD Architecture toolset. The study found that the Architecture toolset provided up to 60% overall productivity gain compared to basic AutoCAD for common design tasks like floor plans, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, sheet layouts, details, schedules, project modifications, and coordination & publishing.

Productivity Study Highlights:

AutoCAD Architecture toolset


®

STUDY SUMMARY 60% overall


productivity gain*
Autodesk recently commissioned a study
comparing basic AutoCAD to the Architectural basic AutoCAD

toolset (previously known as AutoCAD Architecture)


for performing 9 common design tasks. Architecture
toolset
Results showed that the Architecture toolset
provided up to 60% overall productivity gain* 1000 400
HOURS HOURS
compared with basic AutoCAD, when these tasks
were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user. Time to complete sample project
Benefits of the Architecture Toolset
AutoCAD 2019 includes access to all AutoCAD vertical industry functionality as specialized toolsets.
Take your work with you with the AutoCAD mobile app and the new AutoCAD web app.

The Architecture toolset brings dramatic time savings and boosted productivity to common
AutoCAD architectural design tasks.

Floor Plans (time savings = 50%)


1 Provides a huge library of pre-built architectural components that eliminates
the need to manually develop symbols and styles such as windows, doors, etc.

Elevations (time savings = 75%)


2 Uses the 3D model to generate elevations without the need to project lines
from the floor plan, saving tedious 2D editing time required in basic AutoCAD.

Reflected Ceiling Plans (time savings = 25%)


3 Creates rooms and spaces from the 3D model, automatically creating outlines
for rooms that also allow for the automatic creation of ceiling grids.

Building Sections (time savings = 65%)


4 Uses the 3D model to generate building sections in the same way that elevations
are quickly created, without the need to project lines from the floor plan.

Sheet Layouts (time savings = 71%)


5 Uses the 3D model so no extra drafting is required to create sheet views.
The Architecture toolset contains additional sheet set tools that improve productivity
and save time on sheet set creation.

Details (time savings = 70%)


6 Provides substantial time saving through its use of the 3D model and
pre-designed multi-level blocks in the content library.

Schedules (time savings = 65%)


7 Necessary scheduling information is already in pre-drawn content library
blocks. Schedules are thus easily created and refreshed after attribute
information changes.

Project Modifications (time savings = 42%)


8 Intelligent objects maintain their relationships, and design changes can be
implemented quickly and easily with updates also reflected in elevations,
sections, and details.

Coordination & Publishing (time savings = 36%)


9 Contains additional built-in publishing tools that speed up the DWF
publishing process. The DWFs published also contain all the necessary
callouts required to link to the elevations, sections, and details in the project.
