July 5, 2002—Autodesk, a design software and digital content company, has released in North America its Autodesk Architectural Studio 2, a conceptual design creation and multimedia communication tool for architects and other building industry professionals.
The second release of this digital design environment offers designers an expanded range of commonly used architectural tools, like the PANTONE color-matching system, to enhance their ability to sketch and model design concepts on a pen tablet or computer, as they would in a traditional design studio. Overall performance, including application launch speed, is significantly improved, and support for metric units enables use of Architectural Studio on international projects.
Architectural Studio 2 works with a wide range of other Autodesk design solutions, so designers can export their work into Autodesk Architectural Desktop, AutoCAD, Autodesk VIZ, or Autodesk Revit software for further development. The “Publish to Architectural Studio” command also enables users to easily import drawings into Architectural Studio workspaces for markup or iterative conceptual design problem solving.
Current Architectural Studio subscribers will receive notification from Autodesk to download their copy of this software release from the Web free of charge. For more information contact an Autodesk authorized reseller, visit Autodesk, or call 800/964-6432.
