Building Design Suite - Free Migration Offer

For clients with a current Subscription contract for AutoCAD MEP or AutoCAD Architecture, Autodesk is now offering the Building Design Suite at no charge.* This limited-time offer provides you with the ability to gain access to new tools like Autodesk Showcase and AutoCAD Structural Detailing. Learn how the Building Design Suite can improve your workflow.

As an Autodesk Subscription client you'll receive notification from Autodesk when this upgrade is available for download from the Autodesk Subscription Center. You will automatically be upgraded unless you decline the offer.

This is a one-time special upgrade offer that clients are free to decline. Visit the Autodesk opt-out form if you'd prefer not to receive the Building Design Suite. We encourage you to talk with your IMAGINiT representative if you have any questions about this program or are looking for training on the new tools the Building Design Suite offers.

*If you accept the offer and upgrade from AutoCAD Architecture or AutoCAD MEP to Building Design Suite Standard, there may be an increase in the price of your Subscription. However, Subscription clients do not have to pay any change in price until they renew their contract or purchase additional licenses.
