For everyone in the review chain, sharing and collaborating on designs has never been this easy.

Faster turnarounds—No more waiting for paper designs to arrive
Lower costs—No shipping, faxing, or courier costs
Complete fidelity—All design information is built into the digital model

Autodesk Design Review for Manufacturing

Autodesk® Design Review software, the all-digital way to view, mark up, and track changes to 2D and 3D CAD designs, helps to dramatically accelerate time-to-market for new products by enabling faster, more accurate manufacturing design review and approval processes.

Get Reviews Done Quicker
Directly connect with customers, suppliers, planners, and purchasing professionals sooner to complete product design reviews faster and shorten product development lifecycles.

Track Markups and Annotations
Automatically track stakeholder comments and project status to reduce the loss of information and lessen time spent on error-prone data re-entry.

Accurately Communicate Digital Prototypes to Key Stakeholders
Even team members who don't have or are unfamiliar with complex CAD software can fully visualize digital prototypes created in Autodesk® Inventor® software and AutoCAD® software based applications—including detailed manufacturing design data, such as bill of materials information and animated assembly instructions.

Protect Your Intellectual Property
Protect your intellectual property by sharing manufacturing designs as DWF™ files, which provide complete accuracy and fidelity with password protection, encryption, and digital rights management capabilities.

Publish, Share, and View
Access animated assembly instructions directly from the shop floor.

Autodesk Design Review for Utilities & Telecommunications

Utilities and telecoms can use Autodesk® Design Review software—the free*, integrated solution for viewing, marking up, measuring, and comparing revisions of maps and designs—to accelerate design workflows. Adopting Design Review affords non-CAD users easy access to designs and reinforces the high-quality data use that AutoCAD® Map 3D software and AutoCAD® software deliver.

Communicate Changes
Easily review and mark up mapping and geospatial data, so information can be shared among planners, drafters, engineers, contractors, and field maintenance crews—even those unfamiliar with CAD software.

Eliminate Backlogs
Quickly share changes made in the field to expedite revisions and prevent paper backlogs before they happen.

Document Construction Change Orders
Automatically track reviews and their status to reduce the likelihood that information may be lost throughout the review process. Give workers in the field access to the latest map data containing coordinate information.
