1. App Store 

“There’s an app for that.” Explore the Autodesk App Store for hundreds of Autodesk-approved plug-ins, extensions, and standalone applications to make your AutoCAD experience more productive.

You can access the Autodesk App Store from within AutoCAD in two ways. From the Ribbon, click on the Featured Apps tab, then the App Store panel and select Connect to App Store. You can also simply click on the shopping cart icon next to your login name. Either method will take you to the App Store website in your default web browser.

The featured apps banner at the top scrolls through Autodesk recommended apps, so you can easily stay up to date. If none of the featured apps fits your current needs, you can continue your search by either keyword or your favorite publisher.

Once you’ve added your favorite apps, you can view, update, or uninstall them from the Manage Apps tool found in the Add-ins tab.

2. Specialized Toolsets

The quickest step towards drastic time savings: Download any included AutoCAD toolset and get thousands of intelligent objects, specialized tools, and automated processes built specifically for your industry.

All seven toolsets are included with your AutoCAD 2019 including specialized toolsets subscription.

Each toolset must be downloaded individually, via either the Autodesk Account or the Autodesk desktop app. Go to accounts.autodesk.com to sign in. From there you will be able to pick and choose what toolsets to download.

3. AutoCAD Web App

When you don’t have access to your office workstation, the AutoCAD web app can save you in a pinch. Just go to web.AutoCAD.com using Google Chrome browser – there’s nothing to download or install.

Log into the web app with your Autodesk ID (the same ID as your AutoCAD subscription ID). To easily save a drawing from your desktop up to the AutoCAD web or mobile apps, you can select “Save to Web & Mobile” from the AutoCAD desktop App Menu’s Save As command. Conversely, selecting “Open From Web & Mobile” in the App Menu’s Open option lets you access the latest drawings created or edited on the AutoCAD web or mobile app.

BONUS: Take advantage of a familiar AutoCAD desktop feature – the Command Line! 

4. AutoCAD Mobile App 

Make edits on the go and wow your clients without carrying heavy blueprints in the field. Next time you’re in the field and need to access the latest drawings immediately, just reach for your mobile device to view, edit, create, and share DWGs.

Simply download the AutoCAD mobile app to your device via your device’s app store. Log into the app with your Autodesk ID (the same ID as your AutoCAD subscription ID). Access drawings from a free Autodesk cloud storage account or other cloud accounts, including Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.

BONUS: The AutoCAD mobile app can connect directly with a Leica DISTO device. Create a line in your drawing, take a measurement with a DISTO, and the length will update automatically.
