AutoCAD 2027: What's New and What Changed

Apr 7

What's new in AutoCAD 2027

With Autodesk AI-powered guidance, automated geometry cleanup, and cloud-connected workflows through

Forma Data Management, AutoCAD 2027 helps you coordinate changes more easily and keep projects moving forward.

Autodesk Assistant

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.

Geometry Cleanup

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.

3D visualization with GSF enhancements

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.

AutoCAD on the web: Plot Improvements

Improved Forma Data Management integration, allowing you to save plots to the cloud, rename files, choose locations and preview PDFs.

Forma Data Management Essentials

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.

Connected References

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

AutoCAD on the web: Forma Data Management Issues

Create, view, and resolve Forma Data Management Issues directly in AutoCAD on the web to improve communication and keep teams aligned.

AutoCAD on the web: Integration with Forma Board

View and edit DWGs in Forma Board with AutoCAD on the web to connect detailed CAD drafting with collaborative early-design workflows.

Checkout

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.

Connected Support Files

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