Description AutoCAD Architecture has all of the features that AutoCAD has, plus the addition of tools designed for Architects to enhance the workflow of construction documentation.
AutoCAD is used to convey design intent, by utilizing Lines, Arcs and Circles, to illustrate the design. But in AutoCAD Architecture, lines, arcs and circles are replaced by intelligent walls, doors and windows, known as AEC Objects. NOTE: AEC Objects are not backwards compatible, and just because you can save back an AutoCAD DWG file from, say 2013 format to 2010 format, you cannot save back AutoCAD Architecture components.
New Features- Room Documentation
The Roombook feature enables multiple finishes to be applied per surface, then calculates these surfaces (walls, floors, and ceilings), as well as room circumference and furnishing elements, for enhanced room documentation. You can create a detail schedule easily within AutoCAD Architecture for each surface and export the data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or export a DWF™ file to Autodesk Quantity Takeoff (QTO) software for cost estimating. - Layer Key Component Display
The Display Properties dialog has the capability to display all components and control the visibility of specific components in a drawing. Set the display component to inherit the layer name from the current Layer Key Style to get a cleaner, more organized set of documentation. - Transparency Integration
Easy-to-use transparency controls for individual display components enable you to determine how you want to define each component. - Schedule Table Enhancement
This powerful scheduling feature is now enhanced to enable grouping and subtotaling, so you can organize the schedule table based on your project needs. Group, format, and subtotal similar data at different levels, and export grouped and subtotaled schedules to Microsoft Excel. - Content & Catalog Browser Migration
The custom settings dialog enables you to more easily migrate the content catalog from previous releases to AutoCAD Architecture 2013 architectural software. Any new settings introduced into the catalogs in the latest release will automatically be added to legacy catalogs when they are migrated. - Hatch Display Components Enhancements
The hatch display component has a new annotative property that enables the scale of the hatch pattern to respond to the annotation scale. - Industry Foundation Class (IFC) Enhancements
AutoCAD Architecture 2013 continues to improve on Industry Foundation Class (IFC) file format support, including recertification from buildingSMART for importing and exporting version 2x3 IFC files. Toolkit enhancements make it easier to migrate changes from one release to another. - Geometry Sharing Performance Enhancement
This enhancement enables you to begin working while the drawing is still regenerating. You can work more efficiently, as you no longer have to wait for the entire drawing to finish regenerating to get started.
Compare Newer Features of AutoCAD Architecture 2014- COMMAND LINE SEARCH — ARCHITECTURE STYLES
AutoCAD 2014 has added more features to the Command Line search, and AutoCAD Architecture 2014 has extended this to allow faster and easier access to all architecture styles in a drawing. - WINDOW & DOOR JUSTIFICATION ENHANCEMENT
While adding a window you can now also set the offset and the justification for the window. Note the Offset and Center is available as a single option now. - VISION TOOLS TAB
AutoCAD Architecture 2014 introduces four new commands which you will find very useful.
Earlier there was a Tab, called Roombook, on the Ribbon in AutoCAD 2013. Now it is renamed to Vision tools but it contains Rombook panel, as well, and it has been enhanced by many new features - DISPLAY BY LAYER
Display By Layer allows you to set the order in which objects on layers are displayed on drawing - ESCARPMENT BLOCK
Escarpment creates linework to display differences in elevations in a 2D drawing. This Tool creates an AutoCAD block. - SET TO LAYER (0) ZERO
Change the layer of all drawing entities to layer zeros in a single click. Clean up drawings with objects on unused layers by moving them to layer zero. - PROPERTY SET DEFINITIONS
You can now attach existing property set definitions to newly created objects and their styles, and easily attach new or modified property set definitions to existing objects. - ANNOTATION AND UNIT SCALING
Change drawing units and object tags, text, and other annotation scaled objects keep the same relative appearance and size.
In addition, many AutoCAD settings, such as linetype scale, are now properly modified when units are changed
