Since the late 1990s, AutoCAD® Land Desktop software has been the design and documentation solution of choice for more than 100,000 civil engineering and surveying professionals around the world. We want to thank those customers that have made Land Desktop a critical part of their workflow over the years and we look forward to continuing to provide solutions that meet your challenges in the future.

As technology has advanced and the challenges facing engineering organizations have become increasingly complex, we have decided it is time to look beyond Land Desktop to technology that better addresses the demands of today’s engineering organizations. As a result, AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 will be the last release of Land Desktop.

AutoCAD® Civil and AutoCAD® Civil 3D software are Autodesk’s next generation of model-centric civil engineering software. They provide project teams with a more comprehensive surveying, design, analysis, and documentation solution to deliver land development, transportation, and environmental projects faster and with improved accuracy.
