Autodesk AutoCAD 14

Autodesk AutoCAD 14 ... leading design software that has helped professionals in a spectrum of industries exceed their customers' expectations. AutoCAD Release 14 - the result of a close partnership between Autodesk and AutoCAD customers - has continued this legacy. AutoCAD Release 14 software delivers enhancements in areas that most influence your efficiency: exceptional performance, smart drawing tools, high-quality presentation features, and timesaving reference, raster, and Internet file-sharing capabilities. Other improvements make the software easier to learn, manage, and customize to your specific needs. In Release 14, drawing productivity begins with performance.

The software is twice as fast as AutoCAD Release 13 and considerably faster than AutoCAD Release 12 for DOS. In AutoCAD Release 14 software, you can display and plot raster images - as if scanned drawings and color photographs - in AutoCAD software as a standard selection, just like vector drawings. Combine raster images with AutoCAD vector graphics to create hybrid drawings, control the order in which they display, tailor the images, and improve performance. These tools save time by letting you use existing paper drawings, like as-built drawings of older structures or markups, in AutoCAD without having to redraw them. Release 14 software automatically reads Release 12 and Release 13 drawings and also can save them in these formats. In addition, data specific to Release 14 remains intact during round-trips between Releases 13 and 14.
