Overview

Here's a quick look at what AutoCAD® 2008 software can do for you.

It's What Your Ideas Have Been Waiting For

From conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2008 is all you need to create, visualize, document, and share your ideas. AutoCAD 2008 combines the familiar AutoCAD commands and user interface that you already know with an updated design environment, giving you the power to shape and explore your ideas like never before.

Conceptual Design

An updated conceptual design environment makes the creation, editing, and navigation of solids and surfaces simple and intuitive. With all the tools in one place, turning your thoughts into designs comes easily. Improved navigation tools enable designers to directly interact with their models during creation and editing, making design alternative exploration more productive.

Visualizations Tools

No matter where you are in the project lifecycle, AutoCAD enables you to convey your vision of the design with powerful visualization tools like walk-through animations, and realistic rendering. New animation tools mean you can expose any flaws early in the design process-before they can become problematic.

Documentation

At some point your design has to be built, and AutoCAD enables you to quickly and easily turn your design models into a set of construction documents that clearly and accurately depicts what is to be built. Sectioning and flattening tools enable you to work directly from the design model to create sections and elevations that can then be incorporated into your drawings. By eliminating the need to re-create model information for the design document package, you'll save time and money, and avoid any errors that might occur during manual re-creation.

Sharing

AutoCAD 2008 expands the already powerful tools for sharing-like exporting current DWG files to older versions of DWG and exporting and importing DWFT files with redline and markup information-as well as improves the ability to import and work with a DWF file as a drawing underlay. Plus, it has now the ability to publish drawing files as in Adobe® PDF format.

System Requirements

System requirements for users who are focusing on 2D drawing creation are as follows:

Intel® Pentium® IV processor recommended
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional or Home Edition (SP1 or SP2), Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (SP2), or Windows 2000 (SP3 or SP4)
512 MB RAM
750 MB free disk space for installation

Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP1 or higher)

System requirements for users who are taking advantage of the new conceptual design capabilities are as follows:

Intel® processor 3.0 GHz or greater
Windows XP Professional (SP2)
2 GB RAM or greater
2 GB of disk space available, not including installation
1280x1024 32-bit color video display adapter (true color)
