Toolset Productivity Guides

Save time with specialised toolsets 

Find out how you can do the same job in a fraction of the time! Take advantage of the specialised toolsets included when you subscribe to AutoCAD.  You can find out more about each of the available toolset below and download the available eBook's at the bottom of this page.

The Benefits of using the Architecture Toolset in AutoCAD

The Architecture toolset (previously referred to as AutoCAD Architecture) is now included with AutoCAD as a specialised toolset. It is built specifically to create and modify software-based design and documentation productivity for architects. Purpose-built architectural design tools help eliminate errors and provide accurate information to the user, allowing more time for architectural design. This study details the productivity gains that users may experience when using AutoCAD with the Architecture toolset rather than just basic AutoCAD when designing and documenting a building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits of using the Map 3D Toolset in AutoCAD

The Map 3D toolset (previously referred to as AutoCAD® Map 3D), now included with AutoCAD as a specialised toolset, is built specifically to create and modify software-based design and documentation productivity for users working with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Purpose-built data management and mapping tools minimise errors and provide accurate information to the user, allowing more time for mapping geographical data. This study details the productivity gains that users may experience when using AutoCAD with the Map 3D toolset rather than basic AutoCAD when working with maps and survey data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits of using the Mechanical toolset in AutoCAD

The Mechanical toolset (previously referred to as AutoCAD Mechanical), now included as part of the AutoCAD including specialised toolsets offering, can help save many hours of design and rework by automating many common tasks. This productivity study details the productivity gains that users may experience when using AutoCAD with the Mechanical toolset rather than just basic AutoCAD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits of using the MEP Toolset in AutoCAD

The MEP toolset (previously referred to as AutoCAD MEP) is now included with AutoCAD as a specialised toolset. The MEP toolset contains tools geared to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing professionals in the building industry. The various workspace environments (electrical, HVAC, piping, plumbing, and schematic) include individual palettes and domain-specific ribbons to optimise specific workflow tasks. The MEP toolset is built specifically to create and modify software-based design and documentation productivity to help eliminate errors and provide accurate information to the user, allowing more time for MEP design. This study details the productivity gains that users may experience when using AutoCAD with the MEP toolset rather than basic AutoCAD when designing and documenting a building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits of using the Plant 3D Toolset in AutoCAD

The Plant 3D toolset, included as part of the AutoCAD specialised toolset offering, helps plant designers create and edit Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). It is used to generate and modify process plant models in order to produce piping isometrics and piping orthographic drawings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits of using the Raster Design Toolset in AutoCAD

The Raster Design toolset (previously referred to as AutoCAD Raster Design) is now included with AutoCAD as a specialised toolset, and provides raster design tools to edit scanned drawings and convert raster images to DWG™ objects. It is built specifically to allow users to insert raster images into design drawings. Purpose-built raster and vector tools help with image clean-up and editing, allowing more time for design. This study details the productivity gains that users may experience when using AutoCAD with the Raster Design toolset rather than just basic AutoCAD when working on a drawing that requires the use of raster images to convey design intent.
