This standard suite incorporates the basic tools for design and visualisation in a single package. The AutoCAD Design Suite offers a winning combination of flexible Autodesk AutoCAD software with the familiar user-friendly design, visualisation, sketching and presentation tools suitable for users at all levels.

Autodesk AutoCAD Design Suite 2016 contains intuitive solutions for conceptual design, sketching, visualisation and presentation in a single, basic package. The programs in this edition of the AutoCAD Design Suite are fully interoperable, so you can switch to another program as and when you want without having to convert files.

Beginning 1 August 2016, this suite will no longer be available for purchase. When you purchase a licence for the Architecture Engineering Construction Collection 2019, you also have the right to use the AutoCAD Design Suite. This is the only way, in the new licensing structure, to "buy" AutoCAD Design Suite Standard 2016 (further information on licensing).
