Autodesk AutoCAD

📢 Help Shape the Future of AutoCAD at Autodesk University 2026! Are you passionate about where CAD, AI, and connected design are headed? We'd love to hear your perspective. The AutoCAD Customer Advisory Board (CAB) is a year-round community of customers who provide feedback and insights directly to AutoCAD product, engineering, and design leaders. At Autodesk University 2026, we're hosting a special AU Day 0 session where prospective members can connect with the team, share their experiences, and learn more about participating in the program. 📅 Monday, September 14, 2026 📍 The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas Discussion topics include: • The Future of AI for CAD – How automation is transforming design workflows and what it will take to scale AI successfully. • The Future of Connected Design – Improving collaboration and digital project delivery across AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Forma, and connected workflows. • Web AI – Explore emerging AI-powered web experiences and help prioritize future investments. If you're attending AU 2026 and are interested in participating, we'd love to hear from you. Please visit the AutoCAD CAB nomination page and submit a nomination for yourself or recommend a colleague who would be a great fit. 👉 AutoCAD CAB Nomination Page: https://lnkd.in/g7tPu74s Your feedback directly influences the products you use every day. If you're attending AU 2026 and want to help shape what's next for AutoCAD, we encourage you to submit a nomination. #AutodeskUniversity #AU2026 #AutoCAD #CustomerAdvisoryBoard #CAD #AI #ConnectedDesign #AEC

Curious about how Forma can connect to your existing AutoCAD workflow (so nothing downstream changes)? 🤔🔗 Check out the post below and register for the upcoming webinar on July 23rd at 8:30 AM (PST) to learn more!

Design workflows shouldn’t have to be confined to a single desktop or location. 📍 AutoCAD 2027 connects desktop, web, and cloud experiences to support the way teams collaborate today, whether they’re reviewing files, resolving issues, or coordinating changes across environments. With integrations like Forma Board and improved web capabilities, design and collaboration stay aligned from early concepts through final delivery. See what a more flexible, connected project lifecycle looks like:

Even the smallest geometry errors can create massive delays down the line. Geometry Cleanup automatically identifies common issues like gaps, overshoots, and misalignments and recommends targeted fixes as you work. By reducing the amount of time spent on manual correction, teams can improve drawing quality while keeping projects on track. It’s a simple shift that makes everyday work more efficient and reliable, and one of our favorite features of AutoCAD 2027. Take a look ⬇️

Collaboration doesn’t have to come with extra complexity. With Forma Data Management Essentials now included in AutoCAD 2027, teams can move beyond fragmented file sharing to a centralized, cloud-based environment built for managing DWG files. What this means: ✔️ Clearer version visibility ✔️ Structured access control ✔️ Ability to review, edit, and track changes Forma is no longer a future vision: it’s now here, across the AutoCAD features you and your team use every day. Here’s a closer look:

Are your teams using AutoCAD LT, web, or mobile, but unsure where each works best? 🤔 Join our upcoming Virtual Meetup on Tuesday, June 30th, for a practical discussion on how small and midsize teams use AutoCAD across desktop, browser, and field workflows. From quick edits and markups to review and coordination. What you can expect: -Where AutoCAD LT, web, and mobile are most useful -Practical examples for review, markup, field coordination, and quick edits -Breakout rooms for peer discussion and workflow-specific questions -Guidance on when to consider more advanced Autodesk workflows Register here today: https://lnkd.in/g2YSXwr6

One of the biggest workflow bottlenecks in design hasn’t changed in years: file locking. 🔒 AutoCAD 2027 takes a major step forward with Checkout, allowing multiple contributors to work on the same DWG at the same time by editing only the geometry they need. Instead of locking entire drawings, this lets you make changes in an isolated editing environment and safely merge them back when you’re ready. See how it works:

What if your CAD tools could help you catch issues before they become problems? The new Autodesk Assistant in AutoCAD 2027 (Tech Preview) provides intelligent, real-time contextual guidance as you work. Teams can compare drawings against CAD standards, identify inconsistencies, and catch issues earlier in the design process. 🚫Less manual checking. ✅More confidence in every drawing.
