AutoCAD Design Suite is a complete design solution that includes powerful, flexible AutoCAD software with enhanced design and visual communication tools.

AutoCAD^® Design Suite is a single cost effective package for sketching, conceptual design, presentation, and visualization. This package helps designers quickly create and communicate ideas with greater clarity. The functional design flow created by the interoperability of these products saves designers time in all phases. It also helps to establish a path to innovation, a top concern for many design companies, so that great designs can be consistently achieved. This Suite will help you win more business and do it in a more efficient and consistent way.



This Suite comes in three levels: Standard, Premium, and Ultimate, each designed to match your level of design. Premium and Ultimate have additional functionality for advanced visualization and industrial design. Purchasing as the suite saves from 31% to 56 %  off of standard individual pricing. This suite is a great way to extend an AutoCAD^® workflow and will enhance design and visual communication abilities for users of all levels.

Benefits:

• Save time with simplified interoperability between tools
• Create quality visualizations in-house to save money and increase control imagery
• Market designs before they are real by using photo-realistic 3D digital prototypes
• Exceptional value versus purchasing products individually

	Hybrid Paint and Vector Illustration Autodesk® SketchBook® Designer helps create concept designs for direct use in AutoCAD Software. Hybrid Paint and Vector Illustration Autodesk® SketchBook® Designer helps create concept designs for direct use in AutoCAD software.   It allows designers to tap into a unique, hybrid paint and vector illustration workflow to explore creative design concepts and communicate ideas graphically.
	Create Compelling Imagery Autodesk® Showcase® quickly and easily transforms your AutoCAD designs into compelling imagery, movies, and interactive presentations for design reviews and sales pitches. Create Compelling Imagery Autodesk® Showcase® quickly and easily transforms your AutoCAD designs into compelling imagery, movies, and interactive presentations for design reviews and sales pitches. Evaluate design variations and accelerate feedback by reducing the need for physical prototypes and long rendering times.
	Capture Ideas and Design Intent Autodesk® Alias® Design software helps capture ideas digitally, create production-quality geometry, rapidly iterate concepts,... Capture Ideas and Design Intent Autodesk® Alias® Design software helps capture ideas digitally, create production-quality geometry, rapidly iterate concepts,... and deliver designs that address both aesthetic and functional requirements. With the comprehensive conceptual modeling and surfacing capabilities, Alias design is a great way to start any project. Alias is tightly integrated to Autodesk® Inventor® so once the initial concept is created it can be easily passed to engineering. This seamless interoperability prevents design intent from being lost in translation. It improves the editing and validation process since the design can be passed back and forth while functional and aesthetic details are finalized.
	Cinematic-Quality 3D Visuals Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design creates cinematic-quality 3D visuals with its animation, character, effects, and point-and-shoot rendering and lighting analysis tools. Cinematic-Quality 3D Visuals Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design creates cinematic-quality 3D visuals with its animation, character, effects, and point-and-shoot rendering and lighting analysis tools. Convey the story behind your design for design reviews, marketing materials, or public outreach—before it’s real. 3ds Max Design is the tool of choice for many designers because of its ability to generate hyper-realistic scenes. 3ds Max is implemented in a variety of industries from architecture to arts and entertainment.
