I notice you're asking about "AutoCAD 2028" — but as of my current knowledge (early 2026), Autodesk has not announced or released AutoCAD 2028. The latest versions available are typically AutoCAD 2025, 2026, and perhaps betas of 2027.
However, I can still help you prepare something useful:
Here’s a simple AutoLISP routine that works in recent AutoCAD versions (and should still work in any hypothetical 2028):
(defun C:QUICKDIM (/ ss pt)
(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LINE,ARC,CIRCLE"))))
(if ss
(progn
(setq pt (getpoint "\nPick dimension placement point: "))
(command "_.DIM" "_ALIGNED" ss pt "" "" "_EXIT")
(princ "\nDimensions added.")
)
(princ "\nNo valid objects selected.")
)
(princ)
)
This selects lines/arcs/circles and adds an aligned dimension.
Could you clarify what exactly you mean by "prepare a piece"? For example:
If you actually meant another software or version (e.g., AutoCAD 2025, 2026, or Civil 3D), let me know and I’ll give you the correct info.
Perhaps the most groundbreaking feature in AutoCAD 2028 is the departure from pure 3D into the fourth dimension: Time.
While BIM (Building Information Modeling) has always been about spatial data, AutoCAD 2028 bridges the gap between pure drafting and construction sequencing. The new 4D Timeliner allows a designer to assign temporal data to 2D blocks and 3D solids.
For example, you can draw a wall, select it, and assign a "phasing parameter" (Phase 1: Foundation, Week 2). The software then animates the drawing sheet. As you slide a timeline scrubber, lines fade in and out, hatches change color based on completion status, and schedules update dynamically. autocad 2028
This turns a static set of construction documents into a living Gantt chart. Contractors can open the DWG file and see when to build it, not just how.

For over four decades, AutoCAD has been the lingua franca of the design world. From the floppy disks of the 1980s to the cloud-powered collaboration of the 2020s, each iteration has attempted to solve the friction between what an architect imagines and what a contractor builds. But with the anticipated release of AutoCAD 2028, Autodesk is not just releasing a version update; it is unveiling a philosophical shift.
This is not your predecessor’s CAD software. As we look toward the 2028 release (expected late March 2027), we see a product that has finally broken free from the shackles of legacy input methods, entering an era of Generative AI, Neural Snapping, and 4D time-based modeling.
Here is everything we know about the upcoming AutoCAD 2028.
AutoCAD 2028 focuses on speeding drafting with AI, enabling rapid exploration through generative layouts, and modernizing collaboration with cloud-native workflows and AR/VR previews—while also improving performance and security. For most teams, a staged upgrade with testing of plugins and workflows will deliver productivity gains without disrupting ongoing projects.
