All 7 Toolsets Configured

AutoCAD includes seven discipline-specific toolsets — Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, MEP, Plant 3D, Map 3D and Raster Design. Accienta activates every toolset relevant to your disciplines, loads your company standards, builds your layer templates and configures your sheet sets before your team opens the software for the first time.

CDE Integration from Day One

Accienta integrates your AutoCAD environment with Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 — setting up project folder structures, access permissions, transmittal workflows and document versioning so your team is issuing drawings through a controlled, auditable system from the first project day.

GCC Authority Standards Built In

Accienta pre-loads UAE, Saudi and Qatar authority drawing standards — Dubai Municipality, Abu Dhabi DM, MOMRA, Ashghal — including approved layer naming conventions, title block formats, drawing scales, annotation styles and plot configurations. Your team submits authority-ready drawings from day one.

Discipline-Specific Training

Accienta trains your team on the specific toolset their discipline uses — MEP engineers on the MEP toolset, structural teams on detailing workflows, civil teams on Map 3D. Training is delivered on your own project files, your own templates and your own standards so every team member is competent on work that matters immediately.

Licence Management and Renewals

Accienta manages your AutoCAD licence lifecycle — alerting you ahead of renewal deadlines, advising on seat count adjustments and ensuring your team is never working on an expired licence on a live project. We also track Autodesk product updates and advise when toolset changes affect your configured environment.

Ongoing Support — Not a Helpdesk Ticket

After deployment, Accienta provides direct support — not a global helpdesk queue. AutoCAD performance issues, toolset configuration errors, CDE sync problems and plotting failures are resolved by the same team that deployed your environment. Our GCC-based team understands your project context and configured setup — issues resolved in hours, not days.

Our Process

How Accienta Deploys AutoCAD

Buying AutoCAD is the easy part. Getting your team productive on it — with the right toolsets, templates and workflows configured for your specific disciplines and GCC project standards — is where most implementations fail. Accienta's three-step deployment ensures your environment is built correctly before your team opens the software on a live project.

01

Toolset and Discipline Analysis

Before any configuration begins, Accienta maps your team by discipline and project type. We identify which of AutoCAD's seven toolsets — Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, MEP, Plant 3D, Map 3D and Raster Design — each team member requires, and which GCC authority standards their drawings need to comply with.

02

Template and Standards Configuration

Accienta builds your AutoCAD environment from the ground up — company title blocks, drawing templates, layer naming conventions aligned to Dubai Municipality, Abu Dhabi DM, MOMRA or Ashghal standards, annotation styles, dimension standards, plot configurations and sheet set structures.

03

CDE Connection and Team Enablement

Accienta connects your configured AutoCAD environment to your Common Data Environment — Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 — establishing project folder structures, transmittal workflows and role-based training on your own templates and project files.

Built for Every Discipline

AutoCAD Across Every Role on Your Project

Whether you are running concept design, authority submissions, MEP coordination or site construction — AutoCAD and its seven discipline toolsets cover every stage of delivery. Accienta configures each role's environment to the exact standards, templates and workflows that discipline runs on GCC projects.

Common Questions

AutoCAD — Every Question GCC Teams Ask Before Buying

Everything UAE and Saudi construction, infrastructure and engineering teams need to know about AutoCAD licences, toolsets, configuration and GCC project requirements.

AutoCAD is the base 2D and 3D drafting platform. The AEC Collection is an Autodesk subscription bundle that includes AutoCAD plus Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, InfraWorks and other tools — giving every discipline in a GCC construction team access to the full Autodesk AEC toolset under one licence. For most UAE and Saudi AEC firms, the Collection offers significantly better value than individual AutoCAD seats alone.
Yes — every AutoCAD subscription includes all seven industry toolsets at no additional cost: Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, MEP, Plant 3D, Map 3D and Raster Design. Accienta activates and configures the specific toolsets your disciplines use before your team opens the software — so your architects, MEP engineers and infrastructure teams each have their correct environment on day one.
Yes — AutoCAD-based drawing formats, layer standards and file naming conventions are either mandated or strongly preferred on NEOM, Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, Dubai Municipality and most major GCC government and developer programmes. Accienta configures your AutoCAD environment to meet the specific drawing submission standards of each authority — including layer naming, title block format, plot styles, annotation scales and drawing register integration — before your first submission.
Each named-user AutoCAD subscription can be installed on up to three devices — desktop, laptop and mobile — but can only be active on one device at a time. This means your team member can work in the office, on site and from home on the same licence. Accienta manages licence assignment, user provisioning and device setup as part of the implementation so your team is never blocked waiting for access.
Yes — AutoCAD connects natively to Autodesk Forma Data Management (formerly BIM 360 Docs) through the Autodesk Desktop Connector, allowing your team to open, edit and save drawings directly to the CDE without manual file transfers. Accienta establishes your project folder structure, drawing register, transmittal workflows, access permissions and ISO 19650 naming conventions so your CDE is operational from the first drawing issue.
AutoCAD LT is a 2D-only drafting tool with no 3D capabilities, no API access, no industry toolsets and no automation. Full AutoCAD includes 2D and 3D drafting, all seven industry toolsets, LISP and API customisation, and full Autodesk Forma integration. For GCC AEC teams working on projects that require BIM coordination, 3D documentation or authority submissions, full AutoCAD is always the correct choice. Accienta advises on the right licence for each role in your team.
Yes — Autodesk ended perpetual licence sales and all GCC teams now use subscription. Accienta manages the full migration — assessing your current licence inventory, right-sizing your subscription to the number of active users, provisioning named-user access and transferring your existing standards, templates and customisations to the new environment. Your team continues working without interruption during the transition.
Yes — Accienta delivers role-specific AutoCAD training for architects, MEP engineers, structural engineers, drafters and infrastructure teams across UAE and Saudi Arabia. Training is delivered on your configured environment — your templates, your standards, your project folder structure — not a generic out-of-the-box AutoCAD setup. Accienta is also the exclusive UAE reseller for Eagle Point Pinnacle Series, the AEC industry's leading competency management platform, which allows you to assess, track and benchmark AutoCAD competency across your entire team.
Licence provisioning takes 24–48 hours from purchase confirmation. Accienta's configuration — toolset activation, GCC authority drawing standards, title blocks, CDE connection and user training — is completed within 5–10 business days depending on team size and project complexity. For teams with an urgent project start date, Accienta can prioritise same-week deployment. Book a discovery call and tell us your go-live date.
Buying directly from Autodesk gives you a licence key and a getting-started guide. Buying through Accienta gives you the same licence — at the same authorised price — plus toolset configuration, GCC drawing standards, CDE integration, team training and ongoing support from a team that knows your specific project environment. Accienta is an Autodesk Gold Partner, the highest verified partner tier in the GCC, which means our team holds the certifications Autodesk requires to configure and support the full product at this level.
