2D Drafting & Annotation
Comprehensive tools for producing precise technical drawings, layouts, sections, and construction documents with industry-standard linework, hatching, and dimensioning.
About AutoCADAll Autodesk products
What it is, and why teams use it.
What AutoCAD is
The world's most widely used CAD software. Precision 2D drafting and 3D design for every discipline. AutoCAD is the global standard for computer-aided design and drafting, used by architects, engineers, surveyors, and designers across virtually every built environment discipline.
Decades of development sit behind it, plus a vast library of discipline-specific toolsets: Architecture, MEP, Mechanical, Electrical, Plant 3D and more. AutoCAD handles precise 2D documentation and 3D conceptual design. Its web and mobile apps allow teams to view and annotate drawings from any device, keeping projects moving regardless of location.
Where it fits
Storm FX supplies AutoCAD to AEC & archviz and education teams across Australia and New Zealand. We'll talk through licensing, hardware and pipeline fit before you commit.
Key features
What AutoCAD brings.
3D Modelling
Solid, surface, and mesh modelling for creating conceptual and detailed 3D designs, with visualisation tools for client presentations.
Specialist Toolsets
Industry-specific extensions for Architecture, MEP, Mechanical, Electrical, Plant 3D, Raster Design and more. Each adds purpose-built tools for its discipline.
Collaboration & Cloud
AutoCAD web and mobile apps allow teams to access, edit, and mark up drawings anywhere. DWG file compatibility ensures seamless sharing across the industry.
Automation & Customisation
AutoLISP, AutoCAD API, and script automation allow repetitive tasks to be automated and workflows to be customised to studio standards.
Sheet Set Manager
Organise, manage, and publish multi-sheet drawing sets with consistent title blocks, numbering, and revision tracking.
Use cases
How it plays out in practice.
Architecture & Construction: Australia
Architectural practices across Australia use AutoCAD for concept sketches and detailed construction documentation. The Architecture toolset handles wall, door and window automation.
Engineering Design
Civil and structural engineers rely on AutoCAD's precision drafting and 3D capabilities for infrastructure design, with Plant 3D used extensively in industrial facility planning.
Surveying & Land Development
Surveyors use AutoCAD with coordinate geometry tools to produce accurate survey plans, subdivision layouts, and land development documentation.
