What's New in AutoCAD 2010
AutoCAD 2010: More Power, More Innovation
With AutoCAD 2010 computer-aided design software, you can tackle your most challenging problems with ease. Create almost any shape imaginable with free-form design tools, cut revision time and keep everything connected with parametric drawing, share your ideas as PDF, or bring them to life with 3D printing. Nothing takes you from idea to reality FASTER.

Learn more about the powerful new capabilities of AutoCAD 2010. Watch as AutoCAD guru Lynn Allen walks through new features, highlighting free-form design tools, parametric drawing, and many more new capabilities.
Cut Design Time with Parametric Drawing
Dramatically slash your design revision time with parametric drawing. By defining persistent relationships Between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centered, all automatically
Free-form Design
Users now have the power to design ideas in almost any shape that you can imagine. Simply push and pull faces, edges, and vertices to design complex shapes, add smooth surfaces, and much more.
Enhanced PDF Support
PDF Import, PDF Underlay and enhanced publishing features make communication with the extended design team easier than ever.
Parametric Drawing
Parametric drawing keeps everything aligned automatically, saving time and energy for more important challenges – by defining persistent relationships between objects, parallel lines remain parallel and concentric circles remain centred, all automatically.
3D Printing
3D printing capabilities make it easy for users to produce physical 3D models and prototypes by connecting directly to a 3D printer, either your own or a connected service provider.
Dynamic Blocks
With new enhancements to the Dynamic Blocks functionality, users have easier block authoring and editing capabilities, improved display of action objects, and can now test the blocks without closing the block editor.
New DWG File Format
AutoCAD 2010 uses an updated DWG™ file format. The built-in SaveAs function allows users to save drawings to and from AutoCAD releases using previous DWG formats. In addition, the SaveAs AutoCAD Release 12 DXF™ command supports releases prior to AutoCAD 98.
