Autodesk AutoCAD (LT) 2026.0.1 Update with Offline Help Win x64

Speed Up Design Time with Performance Enhancements and Autodesk AI
Experience significant performance enhancements and innovative features that save you time on every drawing. This is the fastest release of AutoCAD yet, with 2D and 3D files opening up to 11 times faster compared to AutoCAD 2025 and the application itself starting up 4 times quicker. And with the power of Autodesk AI, you can enhance your design processes by leveraging information contained in every design file to build a greater understanding of how your team works, letting you unlock new insights and automations. These performance enhancements mean you can spend more time designing, and less time waiting.
New Time Savings and Efficiencies with Smart Blocks and Activity Insights
Powered by Autodesk AI, enhancements to Smart Blocks: Search and Convert and Smart Blocks: Detect and Convert Tech Preview (formerly "Smart Blocks: Object Detection Tech Preview") help improve design efficiency and standardization across your drawings, letting you enhance drawing clarity and organization by detecting objects that could be converted into blocks.
With Smart Blocks: Seach and Convert Tech Preview, you can quickly search your drawings for matching objects, matching text, and variable text to convert into instances of a newly defined block, an existing or recently used block, or a suggested block from your Block Libraries with the help of Autodesk AI.
While Smart Blocks: Search and Convert helps you find instances of exact geometry matches one case at a time, Smart Blocks: Detect and Convert scans your whole drawing at once. Using the power of Autodesk AI, Smart Blocks: Detect and Convert Tech Preview makes intelligent inferences to determine all instances that you may want to convert into blocks.
Detecting these potential blocks all at once is especially helpful in situations when extensive cleanup is required or when geometry may vary slightly, such as for imported drawings. And in AutoCAD 2026, there are additional controls to refine and modify result with the new review toolbar and edit primary capabilities.
The latest updates to Activity Insights in AutoCAD 2026 allow you to stay informed throughout the project cycle with, ensuring that you are always up to date with project progress and changes.
Activity Insights in AutoCAD 2026 now includes the "What's Changed" insight, giving you a detailed breakdown of activity during an editing session across collaborators. Enhanced search and filter capabilities make it even easier for you to find the drawing activity information you need in seconds.
Autodesk Docs Integrations for Connected Support Files, Markup Import, and Markup Assist
Manage consistent project standards and settings across all collaborators with the new Connected Support Files feature. CAD managers can now define project-aware support files that are unique to a specific Autodesk Docs project, meaning a user can have multiple DWGs from different projects open in AutoCAD each with their own set of support files at the same time! This allows teams to view and edit DWG files with the intended support files without additional configuration. This enables everyone to work with the correct files and settings, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
Markup Import now supports Issues on PDFs from Autodesk Docs. You can see high level issue content with Markup Assist and launch further details in Autodesk Docs.
Multi-User Markups
Streamline collaboration on Autodesk Docs projects with multi-user markups. Collect and share feedback directly on drawings using intuitive Autodesk Docs markup tools-now available in early access with AutoCAD on the web.
The updated SHARE command lets you create markup links for simultaneous access to designs, facilitating efficient collaboration without duplicating or locking files. TRACE layers enable users to markup files that continuously sync back to the designer, providing flexibility for teams to review and markup changes together. This collaborative approach enables all feedback to be captured and addressed, leading to better project outcomes.
Tailor Workflows to Your Needs
Customize AutoCAD with specialized toolsets for discipline-specific features, functionality, and parts, including architectural, mechanical, and electrical design components. Make informed decisions with geographical information from ArcGIS® Basemaps, which can provide critical context for your designs.
Create and run custom automations with AutoLISP routines and access over a thousand third-party apps with the ability to build your own using the AutoCAD API. This level of customization enables AutoCAD to be tailored to meet the unique needs of your projects, improving efficiency and productivity.
Stay Connected Anywhere, Anytime
With AutoCAD 2026, you can stay connected to your designs no matter where you are. Use AutoCAD on desktop, web, or mobile to capture, share, and review ideas on the go. This flexibility allows you to more efficiently manage your projects, whether you're in the office, at home, or on a job site. And with the latest enhancements to AutoCAD on the web, you can view and markup 2D and 3D DWG files, as well as visualize DWG files authored in architectural toolset.
