Seven specialized toolsets included with your AutoCAD subscription offer a world of time savings and new ways to automate your work. Recent studies show an average productivity gain of up to 63%* for AutoCAD tasks completed with the help of a specialized toolset.
The opportunities to take advantage of the specialized toolsets are pretty incredible. Did you know the Electrical toolset comes with more than 2,000 standards-based schematic symbols along with a simple pick-and-place workflow? And you can access thousands of predefined building objects—such as windows, doors, wall styles, beams, and more—with the Architecture toolset?
That’s just the beginning of what awaits when you use any of the seven specialized toolsets for architecture, raster design, MEP, electrical, mechanical, and more. Be sure to check out the upcoming webinar series and register to learn more!

* Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the percent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine, operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice.
