Autodesk® Architectural Studio and the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display allow digital working in the same way that architects and designers are used to from pen and paper.

Architectural Studio and the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display are ideal tools for architects and designers who are involved in investigative, collaborative or conceptual design activities during all project phases, but especially during schematic design and design development. Autodesk Architectural Studio provides a very simple and effective interface that replicates the designer’s desktop, complete with transparent tracing paper and easy-to-use digital tools such as pens, markers and erasers. Use of the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display makes these digital tools much more intuitive, especially when creating designs.

The pen-based solution allows direct creation of conceptual sketches and 3D models, integrating them with photographs and imported CAD drawings into presentations and working on them with others over the Internet. For sharing ideas in real time, an optional Design Site service provides an Internet-based crit room. Complete working processes from idea to planning, including the presentation, are developed directly in digital form with the pressure-sensitive Cintiq Pen on the full-colour display. This direct and intuitive method provides an optimised and more efficient workflow, and also enables perfect hand-eye coordination for architects and designers. Whether the user is sketching, modelling, presenting or collaborating, Autodesk Architectural Studio and Wacom’s Cintiq Interactive Pen Display are the ideal solution that feels just the way it should: familiar, simple and intuitive.

Cintiq Interactive Pen Display for a direct visual feedback

The Cintiq Interactive Pen Display is much more than an input device, it is `digital paper`. With a natural, intuitive feel and the ability to effortlessly tilt and rotate* the display, the Cintiq is far more ergonomic than anything that architects and designers have been used to. The Cintiq Pen allows users to select tools such as marker, pen or eraser directly on-screen and sketch right away on the full-colour LCD. The Cintiq functions as the architect’s digital drawing board, always giving the user ultimate hand-eye-coordination.
