Revit Architecture Suite 2009.1 - FINALLY!

Autodesk released Revit Architecture Suite 2009.1 as of Septemeber 15, 2008.  This new release bundles Revit Architecture, AutoCAD Architecture (formerly know as Architectural Desktop), and AutoCAD under one license.  The best part of all of this - no increase in price or subscription fee (for now anyway).  Please note: there are NO feature enhancements to any of the applications in this 2009.1 release.  All I have to say is "it's about time guys"!


Under the Previous Use Policy with the Subscription program, you have access to the following versions:

  • Revit Architecture Suite 2008
  • Revit Series Building 9.0 & 9.1
  • Revit Series Building 8.0 & 8.1
  • AutoCAD Architecture 2008
  • Architectural Desktop 2007
  • Architectural Desktop 2006

DWF versus PDF

DWF is Autodesk's version of PDF - but it is way better!


Built in to all Autodesk products, DWF publishing helps you enhance collaboration and easily exchange project information with extended teams. Download the FREE Autodesk DWF Writer to securely share 2D and 3D data as DWF files—no matter what design application you’re using.

  • Publish portable, secure 2D and 3D DWF files.
  • New Plug-ins for SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and CATIA software applications.
  • One-click DWF files from Microsoft applications (Internet Explorer 7 supported).
