Product Summary

AutoCAD Architecture 2009 is object-based design and documentation software for architects. It offers many of the benefits of building information modeling in the familiar AutoCAD environment.

Pros: Updated user interface; search bars for tools and help; integrated RSS feeds; more extensive tooltip support, instructive problem/solution tips; sophisticated navigation modes including ViewCube, SteeringWheel, QuickView, and ShowMotion controls; streamlined workflows with actions, object property matching tool, and property editing simplification; significant AEC object improvements related to walls, spaces, and multiline attributes.

Cons: Pricey, complex, and difficult to master, this enhanced AutoCAD vertical doesn't offer the full benefits of a true BIM system.
