Yay! The new AutoCad 2012 is now available to everyone. Download it for Free. Experience the perfect and genuine software only from AutoDesk. If you’re a student or Cad lover, you can have an awesome beta test and trial to try the newly released Autocad software. And if you want, you can download the complete ACAD 2012 version, too.

If you loved the older version AutoCad, it’s time to love the next spanking new advanced architecture and design software developed by Autodesk – the AutoCad 2012. I know it’s quite early but as we all know, the huge company is always ahead in the technology of construction and design so we better grab it and draw like it’s 2012. :)

AutoCad 2012 Amazing Features

Why we must grab AutoCad 2012. The world’s leading 2D and 3D CAD program provider, Autodesk, promises AutoCad 2012 users an incredible speed, power and flexibility in shaping and building the world around us. The software comes with updated tools and sophisticated features for conceptual design, model documentation and reality capture. It’s about time to go mobile and the web, now we can share our creations in the web and via mobile like the iphone, ipad, and Android. Wow! That’s just a warm up for the exciting features. Autocad 2012 a.k.a. ACAD 2012 comes with these new features:

Model documentation tools – comes with intelligent documentation for AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor software, and other models.

Associative array functionality – we can now array objects along specified paths, thus saving a lot of effort and time

AutCad WS – we can sync your designs over the web or from our mobile devices.

Extended multi-function grips – more CAD objects like lines, arcs, elliptical arcs, dimensions, and mleaders as well as 3D faces, edges, and vertices.

Command line enhancements – we can access commands easier and more efficient

Autodesk Inventor Fusion – easy to use 3D conceptual design features more professionally

Simplified migration settings – we can easily migrate our custom settings or reset Autocad

Blend tool – we now have the option to tangent or smooth continuity between two curves or make spline objects

Autocad 2012 let designs in sync to mobile and the web

AutoCad 2012 vs AutoCad 2011


AutoCad 2012 Compared to AutoCad 2011

AutoCad 2012 comes with plenty package of astounding features that are not available in the AutoCad 2011. They are:

  • Auto-complete command entry, delete duplicate objects function and project snap under the user interaction features.
  • Editable USC icon, 3D associative array, in-canvas viewpoint controls, and Inventor fusion under the design exploration features.
  • 2D associative array, copy array, blend curves, and model documentation under the documentation features.
  • DWG convert, IGES, CATIA, Rhiino, Pro/Engineer, and STEP Import and Autocad WS under the communication features.
  • Migration reset and multiple plot file search path under the customization features.

What more can we ask for?

Autodesk exchange for Autocad – we can definitely access help and support, forums, get tips and tutorials, getting started videos, and get downloadable plug-ins we need

Autodesk content explorer – we can quickly find our files when we search them. Reminds me of Google Desktop

3D associative array – guides us in selecting array objects when designing 3D

Citrix - Citrix Systems, Inc. and Autodesk have partnered to provide customers with greater efficiency and flexibility in their use of AutoCAD

Hi twentyfive, Great info on Auto CAD 2012. I'm pretty familiar with Auto CAD, but the question I was left with was the free download part because then you show what it costs. Is the download the full version, or just a sample trial version? Thanks for the input.

Hello Tom! It's a famous software used in architectural design. Before, drafting used to be manual. Doing perspective drawings takes a lot of time, now it's clickable :) And yeah, we can use that in the iphone and other devices too :)

It's a pleasure Kash! :) Now is the time for 3D :) Happy to see you.

Hi Ken! Yes it's the official free trial from Autodesk. The full version is available too from them but not free. As much as I wanted to put the links of the complete version free download from the other sites, I cant coz this website is not mine :) Thanks for dropping by :)

I'm not really familiar with this type of program, hope someone can help, and you don't mind what may be a stupid newbie question. I want a software program that will help me modify a design. For example, using a picture of an old basic 10 story office building, I want to picture it with added balconies (ornate railing or glass), add 2 or five floors, change the color or material, maybe a green rooftop terrace with trees/shrubs... Basically want to show what an old building could look converted for a hotel or condos. I'm not an artist so can't start from scratch, I'm thinking I could use pictures and just crop balconies, window grids, etc in somehow. Would an autocad program work? Thought of using a photoshop program but other than changing colors, brightening, removing shadows and stuff I don't see anything in Photoshop that would help do what I have in mind. -This isn't for any professional purposes, just want an easy way to express what I visualize something could be. Hope that made a little sense. Any suggestions -other than design school?

We dumped autocad 20 years ago. I try it every year-i'm turned off by its obscurity,everything is a guess work, you never give full info about its abilities and the program is a tease...to use it it's an expense that other programs do for less.
