Reality Computing (Point Clouds) got its fair share of loving too, including support for sectioning, transparency control, point cloud-specific object snaps, and Dynamic UCS support.Īny visualization changes? Oh yeah! The Render engine has gone, replaced with a new and improved version.

PDF support? Still there of course, but now it’s much more flexible, with its own publishing dialog and options. Its a one-stop, do-all dimension feature which actually previews the dimension before you make your selection. Think of it as Quick Dimensions but on steroids. The enhanced DIM command will make you seriously reconsider how you dimension from now on. Revision Clouds behave more like polylines, making modifications significantly easier and actually achievable now… no more deleting and redrawing. It lets you know that they have changed and allows for a reset directly from the status bar.ĭocumentation Enhancements? Yep, its got them… The new System Monitor is constantly watching those troublesome system variables that seem to have a mind of themselves. Layout tabs are drag-and-dropable (finally), the status bar automatically wraps to the next line, and the help makes it easier to find things. It is now known as the Start page and is persistent, but based on user feedback, can be disabled during installation. Take for example the File tab introduced in 2015.

The User Interface (UI) enhancements is a continuation of what they introduced with the darker / sleeker 2015 interface. Others might slice-and-dice it differently, but to me the new features and improvements fall into five categories Although nothing earth-shattering like last years user interface “refresh”, this years version still proves to be chocked full of enhancements that will make your day-to-day life easier, as well as adding new features and functionality to take your design and collaboration in new directions. This year is no different as the new version of AutoCAD is upon us. Spring always brings new beginnings, including the new releases from Autodesk.
