Autodesk offers Drawing Automation in Autodesk Fusion, an AI-powered feature that automatically generates 2D manufacturing drawings from 3D models, including views, dimensions, and annotations. The feature became available in early 2024 and was enhanced with AI in late 2024.
Details
Drawing Automation in Fusion takes a 3D model as input and generates the 2D manufacturing drawings needed to produce a part, including layout, dimensions, and style. The AI enhancement added in 2024 makes intelligent decisions about which drawing details are necessary — for example, identifying fasteners that do not need to be included in drawing sets. The AI also lays out drawing sheets for each component automatically. Autodesk's blog describes the prior process as 'time-consuming.'

Other practices by Autodesk
Creative GenAutodesk tested Project Bernini, an experimental generative AI model that creates 3D shapes from inputs such as text prompts, 2D images, sketches, point clouds, and voxels. As of 2024, the project was strictly in a research phase and not available for public or commercial use.Creative GenAutodesk offers MotionMaker in Maya, a machine learning-based animation tool that generates character motion from high-level user directions such as a motion path or key targets, rather than requiring animators to set keyframes for every movement. MotionMaker was introduced in 2025.Customer SvcAutodesk offers the Autodesk Assistant, an AI-powered chatbot built into select products that answers user questions about product features and guides users through support workflows. Initially launched in AutoCAD 2024 and later expanded to Fusion and Construction Cloud, it has since evolved into what Autodesk describes as an 'agentic AI partner' capable of automating tasks through natural language.
