Get all the functionality of AutoCAD software, plus tools 
designed specifically for architectural drawing, design, 
collaboration, and documentation.
Drawing Compare
The Drawing Compare feature enhances 
collaboration by using color-coded displays to 
show items on a drawing that have been changed, 
added, or deleted by other members of the 
design team. Changes to items such as styles, fire 
ratings, or other nongraphical properties are also 
tracked. Combined with redlining features, such 
as revision clouds, Drawing Compare helps clarify 
communication across the design team.

Suite software allows you to transition to building 
information modeling (BIM), while protecting 
your legacy software, training, and design data 
investments. Purpose built for BIM, Autodesk 
Revit Architecture delivers a powerful competitive 
advantage by speeding creative design work, 
facilitating analysis for sustainable design, and 
automatically delivering coordinated, consistent 
documentation. Support ongoing work in either 
AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture while you make 
the switch to BIM with Autodesk Revit Architecture, 
at your own pace.
AutoCAD Architecture 
Success Story
Whitney Architects, Inc.
Since 1984, interior architecture firm 
Whitney Architects has delivered a broad 
range of technical and design services for 
large corporations, financial services firms, 
and hospitality providers. Whitney adopted 
AutoCAD Architecture software to better 
provide this diverse blend of services and to 
foster improved collaboration. 
Before moving to AutoCAD Architecture, 
Whitney experienced difficulty sharing files 
with consultants, and required a great deal 
of support from their previous CAD vendor. 
Additionally, says Stephen Bures, president 
of Whitney Architects, “We consistently ran 
into trouble training new employees. They 
were familiar with AutoCAD, but none of them 
knew our previous CAD application, resulting 
in a steep learning curve and increased costs. 
That was a big part of our decision to make  
the switch.”
Since adopting the software, Whitney has 
completed almost 600 major construction 
projects more productively and accurately 
than possible with their previous CAD 
software. “Right out of the box,” says Bures, 
“AutoCAD Architecture helped us save roughly 
35 percent in time spent on drawings.”
Collaboration with mechanical, electrical, 
and plumbing engineers as well as structural 
engineers and other consultants has improved 
significantly, too. According to Bures, “Our 
drawings are much better with AutoCAD 
Architecture, not only because the quality 
control process is easier, but also because the 
interface with all of our consultants and clients 
is easier and more exact. As a result, we save 
time on projects.”
Scheduling
Whether you are customizing the appearance of 
out-of-the-box schedule styles to meet company 
standards or creating new schedules from scratch, 
complete with required calculations, you can do so 
with ease. Since schedules are linked directly to your 
designs, you can update them to reflect any design 
changes at the click of a button.
Rendering
Bring designs to life for client presentations at 
any stage of the design with integrated rendering. 
The streamlined visualization capabilities are fully 
integrated into the AutoCAD Architecture workflow. 
Make your presentations stand out by visually 
communicating richer design information.
Dimensioning
With even greater flexibility in AutoCAD 
Architecture, you can now dimension any wall—and 
all its components, including wall stud centerlines 
and faces—according to your own dimensioning 
standards. And since the dimensions are associative, 
they automatically update as your designs change, 
eliminating the tedium of many manual updates.
