Autodesk Utility DesignAutodesk® Utility Design software, built on AutoCAD® Map 3D, enables a streamlined design process with true rules-based automation so you can design, engineer, and estimate costs for residential, commercial, and industrial gas and electric systems. Efficient DesignLeverage existing AutoCAD and AutoCAD Map 3D skills to become more productive, quickly and while directly affecting workforce training costs. - Reduce layout time—Create the graphical piece of distribution design, automatically gather material data for construction, and complete work orders faster, easier and accurately in one solution.
- Automate process—Integrate with work order management, materials ordering, and with downstream applications by leveraging proven data interoperability technologies. AUD is compatible with all peripherals and data exchange formats supported by AutoCAD Map 3D.
Intelligent DesignUse Autodesk Utility Design to transfer and preserve the knowledge of your veteran workforce. Ensure that valuable utility and service area knowledge is retained, while providing guidelines for your newer design staff to assure accuracy and efficiency in design projects. - Build in standards, design workflow rules, and symbology.
- Define your rules based on industry standards and utility specific needs.
Reliable DesignUtilities are required to design “right sized”, least cost, best engineered facilities for efficient networks and rate cases. - Keep operating costs low by making informed design decisions that will help assure the best engineered facilities are built at the lowest cost.
- Share design data with records management, to build a strong foundation for your infrastructure information to support initiatives such as intelligent Grid.
Arizona Public Service“Autodesk's full-scale solution is the first step toward creating an integrated system that leverages our engineering design information in the processes to build, operate, and maintain our assets.”
—Scott Gudeman, Arizona Public Service T&D Business Integration Manager
