Revit 2022 – What’s new in this version?

Lots of new toys for everyone

Autodesk has released Revit 2022, and it comes with many new features. Revit is the industry standard 3D design software for architects, engineers and designers. While AutoCAD is still leading the industry in 2D design, Revit takes it a bit further with 3D design. With Revit 2022, you will find improvements to tagging, schedules, annotations and grid displays. Architects can now make use of tapered and slanted walls. Engineers can now make use of the steel connections and enhanced rebar improvements. Other improvements include improved default color shame, enhanced RPC, improved compatibility with FormIt, and PDF export (yay!). Check out all the changes at the Autodesk website. We do offer both AutoCAD and Revit services. If you would like to get a quick quote, contact us.

AutoCAD 2021, new features we think you will love

AutoCAD 2021 features cloud storage, quick measure, drawing history, and more.

AutoCAD 2021 is here and has some robust new features. First released in 1982 by AutoDesk, it has remained the industry standard for architecture, engineering, and design. There are new features in 2021 that you should be aware of. We think you will be excited about many of of these updates. Here we will go over those.

New mobile and web apps. Now you can work from anywhere, on almost any device with new AutoCAD 2021 mobile and web apps.

Cloud storage connectivity. Seamlessly work from anywhere, because now your DWG files will be store remotely on the cloud. This is similar to Adobe’s Creative Cloud.

Version history. Now you can compare changes, throughout the life of a drawing.

Improved graphical performance. This update speeds up rendering and viewing of 2D and 3D graphics on your Windows and Macintosh computers. AutoCAD 2021 now takes full advantage of multi-core processors.

Blocks Palette. Now you can access your blocks from AutoCAD, or over the web. This feature also

There are many more features, but we are most excited about these. Some other new features include save to web and mobile, purge redesign, and Xref compare. For a full list of new features in AutoCAD 2021, check out this link. AutoCAD 2021 cost $1,690.00 for 1 year.

Autodesk also offers their 3D design software called Revit. Revit is a 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) software that is slowly eclipsing AutoCAD as the leading design software.

I am often asked about alternatives to AutoCAD. The long running computer aided design program (CAD) AutoCAD has been the standard for 2D design for over 30 years. It was created by AutoDesk in 1982, and took the design world by storm. One issue people have with it, is it’s hefty price. With a yearly price tag of over $1,500 a year, it’s easy to see why people would be looking for a cheaper alternative.

Many people ask me if there is any alternatives to AutoCAD? The answer is yes, there is. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear from you. Here’s a list of those programs below:

DraftSight – A free CAD program, with some features needing a paid license.
FreeCAD – A free open source 3D CAD design program.
SketchUp – Currently owned by Google, this program can help you work in 2D and 3D. It is free for non-commercial use.
BricsCAD – A professional design program, with paid licensing.
LibreCAD – Free, open sourced 2D CAD program.
SolidWorks – 3D CAD program with purchase tier options.
BRL-CAD – Free, open source modeling CAD.
SolveSpace – Free, open source 2D and 3D CAD for modeling parts.
NanoCAD – 2D and 3D design program that is fairly inexpensive.

We happen to use AutoCAD, and can help you with your design project. If you would like to have your PDF plans converted to AutoCAD DWG, submit them here for a free quote.
