• Straightforward
  Straightforward drafting tools get you productive, and if you like 'Wizards' you'll feel at ease with being automatically stepped through the process of choosing the most appropriate symbols libraries, drawing scales, and tool sets for your drawing type.

• Comprehensive
  A comprehensive tool set is provided that includes:- Customisable grids and construction guidelines, Associative dimensioning, 3D special effects (not actual real 3D), including extrusion and transformation options, In-place text editing, Automatic snaps and locks that align objects precisely and hold them in position, pan and zoom capabilities for moving in, out, and around your drawing and drag and drop facilities.

• Predawn
  If you want to save time by using predawn material then you can use the Content Librarian. Content includes some Kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom symbols, Decks and landscaping icons, Architectural graphics, Mechanical parts, Plumbing and electrical symbols, Hatch and fill patterns.

• Getting Started Guide
  A series of tutorials show you everything from starting a new drawing to moving and rotating entities and adding dimensions. Customisable work environment is also included.

• Flexible File Management
  Open as many drawings as you want at one time, with multiple windows open for each drawing document.

• Customisable Tool bars
  Customise your workspace by turning on additional tool bars and creating your own tool bars. Add any command to custom tool bars. Tool bars can be docked or floated. When floating in the drawing area, tool bars can also be resized.

• Customisable Grids
  Use customisable rectangular, circular, and isometric grids to easily configure the drawing space to the drawing task. Create 2D isometric views with special drawing tools optimised for the isometric drawing grid.

• Guidelines
  Create geometry by snapping to user-defined construction guides. Turn the guides off and on to build on previous work.

• Drawing and Editing
  Selecting, moving, and copying are fundamental to any type of drawing. The variety of AutoSketch® selection tools gives you several ways to select anything, anywhere in the drawing. The familiar Microsoft® Windows® interface of these and other tools increases usability.

• AutoArray
  Dynamically populate any area with symbols or symbol groupings. As you move the cursor, the display shows a dynamically changing number of equally spaced symbols or objects in a selection set.

• 3D Effects
  Access tools for dressing up 2D drawings for presentations from the 3D Effects tool bar. These tools automatically take a top, front, or side view and skew it, turning it into an isometric view. Add 3D text as a final touch. An automatic extrusion tool not only extrudes at a changeable distance and angle but also automatically removes hidden lines.

• Content Librarian
  Drag a symbol, hatch pattern, or solid fill from the Content Librarian window wherever you want it in a drawing; the area automatically fills in with the pattern or colour. Drag a symbol from the Content Librarian and place in a prescribed location, using the symbol’s base point. AutoSketch software comes with 256-colour customisable colour palettes and more than 50 new symbol libraries.

• Picture Support
  Add photographs, scanned images, logos, or any other raster file to your drawings. You have complete control over the size and placement of images, including bitmapped images and annotations. Further enhance your drawings with textures or photorealistic images by adding bitmaps to enclosed areas. AutoSketch 9 supports BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, ICO, EMF, and WMF formats.

• Rich Text
  Rich text capabilities support different kinds of formatting in a single block of text. Change the colour, font, and formatting for individual sentences, words, or letters for visual consistency between CAD drawings and other documents. Spell Check verifies spelling for text, database information, and even dimensions.

• DWG Support
  Because AutoSketch drawings are DWG format compatible, you can create and view AutoCAD® drawings for enhanced collaboration with colleagues and clients.
