The Autodesk Assistant delivers intelligent, in-context guidance powered by Autodesk AI. With the introduction of Model Context Protocol (MCP), it now interprets drawing context and user intent, enabling CAD standards checking and allowing you to leverage enhanced AI chat and prompt-driven workflows.

Forma Data Management Essentials is now included with standalone subscriptions of AutoCAD, bringing cloud-based project data management directly into the tools you already use. Leverage advanced collaboration features like Checkout to support parallel work, improved coordination, and secure cloud-managed drawings.

Checkout introduces a new way of collaborating on shared DWG files by reserving only the geometry you need, allowing you to work in parallel within isolated editing environments and safely apply changes back to the source drawing via Forma Data Management, keeping you in control.

Geometry Cleanup identifies common geometry errors such as gaps, overshoots, undershoots, and misaligned angles and suggests targeted fixes. By streamlining error detection and correction in DWG files, it reduces manual cleanup, improves drawing quality and boosts drafting productivity.

Preserve Xref integrity for drawings stored in Forma Data Management by detecting moved or renamed references and suggesting automatic repairs.

Get centralized control over cloud-based support files. Project-aware tool palettes and CUI ensure the correct resources load automatically.

Expanded Graphics System Framework (GSF) support improves performance and reliability across AutoCAD’s 3D workflows, delivering smoother navigation, broader 3D coverage, and support for Realistic visual styles, materials, and lighting.
