Is there a way to make AutoCAD for Mac look like AutoCAD for Windows, without having to install Bootcamp or Parallels? Revit Architecture would be a fine choice.

Subscribe to AutoCAD and get access to specialized toolsets, an all-new web app, a mobile app, new features, and more. Speed up your work with specialized features and libraries for mechanical design, architecture, 3D mapping, and more; enjoy greater mobility with the new web and mobile apps; and take advantage of new features and performance enhancements, included with new subscriptions to AutoCAD 2019 including specialized toolsets, available starting today, March 22, 2018. Increase Productivity With Specialized Toolsets With access to 7 specialized toolsets, subscribers have more than 750,000 intelligent objects, styles, parts, features, and symbols to choose from when drawing. Designers can automate floorplans; quickly draw piping, plant equipment, or electrical panel layouts; incorporate GIS data into the planning process; edit scanned drawings and convert raster images into DWG objects all while working in a familiar AutoCAD interface. The toolsets now included in AutoCAD offer intelligent features that will help users work faster and be more efficient. For example, by using the Architecture toolset to model a design, you’ll save a significant amount of time incorporating real architectural elements such as doors, walls, and windows, instead of starting from lines and circles; creating a wall in AutoCAD requires 5 steps, whereas the same outcome in the Architecture toolset requires only 3 steps. Now imagine how productive you could be with all of the industry-specific toolsets at your fingertips.

When you subscribe to AutoCAD 2019, you will gain access to the following toolsets: Architecture Toolset: Use specialized building design features and 8,000+ intelligent architectural objects and styles to speed architectural drawing and documentation. Mechanical Toolset: Use specialized mechanical design features and 700,000+ intelligent manufacturing parts, features, and symbols to speed product design. Electrical Toolset: Use specialized electrical design features and 65,000+ intelligent electrical symbols to boost productivity for creating, modifying, and documenting electrical controls systems. MEP Toolset: Use specialized MEP engineering features and 10,500+ intelligent mechanical, electrical, and plumbing objects to draft, design, and document building systems. Plant 3D Toolset: Use the specialized plant design and engineering toolset to efficiently produce P&IDs and then integrate them into a 3D plant design model. Map 3D Toolset: Use specialized mapping features to incorporate GIS and CAD data to support planning, design, and data management.

Access spatial data stored in files, databases, and web services, and aggregate it with your AutoCAD design data. Raster Design Toolset: Use raster to vector tools to help you edit scanned drawings and convert raster images into DWG objects. Starting March 22, 2018, when you subscribe to AutoCAD 2019 including specialized toolsets you will be able to download AutoCAD and the Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, Map 3D, MEP, Raster Design, and Plant 3D toolsets from the portal or from the Autodesk Desktop App. AutoCAD Available Anywhere With Web and Mobile Apps An AutoCAD 2019 or AutoCAD LT 2019 subscription also includes access to the all-new AutoCAD web app and the AutoCAD mobile app. We’re excited to launch the AutoCAD web app enabling you to access AutoCAD directly in your web browser via. And there is nothing to download or install. Simply log in to your Autodesk account and quickly access Trusted DWG files, core 2D drafting and editing tools (ex: Arc, Circle, Rectangle, Offset, Trim, and more), including Xref support, and layer management.

An early tester of the AutoCAD web app and owner of Mechanical CAD Design and BIM firm Point to Point CAD Services, Clifton Schnarr explained “The detail in the AutoCAD web app is just superb! You can see the dimension, the contrast, the color, just all the depths to be seen on a 2D drawing. The resolution is just excellent.” Make edits on the go and wow your clients without carrying heavy blueprints in the field. With the AutoCAD mobile app, you can view, edit, create, and share CAD drawings anytime, anywhere. Download DWGs to your device to access them even when you’re without WiFi. Available across Windows, Android, and iOS devices, AutoCAD mobile app is also optimized for the iPhone X, iPad Pro, and Windows Surface.

Work Flexibly Saving to Web and Mobile A new feature that enables you to work seamlessly across the desktop, web, and mobile platforms is the capability to “Save To Web & Mobile” and “Open From Web & Mobile” from desktop AutoCAD. While in the field, view and edit any drawing on the AutoCAD web or mobile app and save it back to your local network drive to continue working at your office in AutoCAD 2019 or AutoCAD LT 2019. Identify Drawing Differences With DWG Compare The new DWG Compare feature in AutoCAD 2019 and AutoCAD LT 2019 helps you easily identify graphical differences between two revisions of a drawing or Xref. Quickly view changes, see clashes, review constructability, and more.
