Autodesk® Symbols 2000 is a ready-made library of design elements that will jump-start your design process. Just choose from more than 12,000 symbols through the AutoCAD® DesignCenter™ feature of your AutoCAD LT® 2000 or AutoCAD® 2000 software, then drag and drop them precisely into place. They scale automatically to your drawings units of measurement, U.S. or metric. You'll be completing drawings—even detailed floor plans and construction documents—in minutes, not hours.

You can extract information from these symbols for generating bills of materials and making estimates, just as you can with the symbols native to AutoCAD 2000 and AutoCAD LT 2000. You can modify their attributes, too. And because theyre listed right in the DesignCenter dialog box, the symbols are fully integrated into your design environment.

With your increased drawing speed, Autodesk Symbols 2000 will quickly pay for itself. So why wait?

The Autodesk® Symbols 2000 collection comes in three libraries—architectural, mechanical, and electronic—so you can use only the symbols you need for a particular industry. Each library has thousands of symbols that conform to common industry usage or official graphic standards.
