The AutoCAD subscription comes with specialized toolsets that enable the user to gain access to the industry-specific methods. The innovative features of AutoCAD 2020 provide you the flexibility to access the AutoCAD web and mobile apps. Some of the intriguing features of the latest AutoCAD 2020 are the dark theme for clear visuals, quick display for measurement, improved performance, block palette, and much more.

Dark Theme

AutoCAD 2020 now comes with a dark and fresh look to ease your eyes. The crisp and clean modern structure is designed to provide users a clear vision with sharper icons and contrast improvements.

High Performance

The system continues to provide high performing and a powerful engine to speed up work. Not more than half a second is required to save work each time.

A new special feature of AutoCAD has enabled the new generation saving approximately 80 working years collectively. Moreover, the installation time is 50 percent faster which is like a bonus!

Quick Display Measurements

Measuring distances have now become easy with the fresh AutoCAD Quick Measure Tool.

  • Measure 2D designs by just hovering over it
  • Hover your mouse between objects to see dimensions, angles, and distances
  • Site plans, elevations, and floor plans can be seen constantly

Block Palette

You can efficiently insert blocks with the block palette that comes with visual galleries. The feature also helps to find the exact block you are looking for. You can also drag and drop blocks effortlessly from the current drawing to the original drawing or any other drawing tabs. Searching and fixing numerous blocks or recently opened blocks is now easier with the feature of Repeat Placement for saving steps.

Clean Drawings Easily with Purge

The newly redesigned Purge feature is introduced to clean drawings in one go. It helps to get rid of unwanted objects easily and check the removed item with a visual preview section.

AutoCAD Integrates with Box and Microsoft

With the integration of AutoCAD with Microsoft and Box, you can store files or data in OneDrive or Box to get the advantage of streamlined workflows. The concept has paved the way for effortless workflows and enhanced productivity. It reduces collaboration time that benefits in viewing and editing files easily. The AutoCAD subscribers get the liberty of accessing the files anytime, anywhere.

What’s new in AutoCAD 2019?

CADDZOOM

CAD technology introduces features and techniques that revolutionizes the way we work with software and product development. With the introduction of AutoCAD 2019, users will be able to enjoy better work optimization and enhanced performance with toolset add-ons.

Below are some of the enhanced toolset features, which the 2019 version will bring about.

Architectural toolset

The architectural toolset will help designers in composing intelligent and eye appealing designs. This added feature of AutoCAD 2019 allows the designer to make use of specialized building design features and 8000 plus intelligent architectural object-styles to speed up their architectural drawing and documentation.

 Mechanical toolset

AutoCAD 2019 lets the users to integrate their ideas and thoughts in one part of their drawing with this improvised mechanical toolset. Users can use specialized mechanical design features and 700,000+ intelligent manufacturing parts, features, and symbols to speed up their design process.

 Electrical toolset

The electrical toolset is an enhanced feature of this AutoCAD 2019 version. This helps in efficient electrical documentation control and quick modification with its industry specific features. It also enables users to make the best use of specialized electrical design components and 65,000+ intelligent electrical symbols for enhanced productivity.

 (MEP) Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing toolset

With MEP toolset in place, users will be able to redefine their design process on the whole. The MEP toolset features specific MEP engineering features and 10,500+ intelligent mechanical, electrical, and plumbing objects, which will enable the designers to draft, design, and document building systems in no time.

 Plant 3D toolset

This, specialized plant design and engineering toolset enables the user to efficiently produce P&IDs and then integrate them into a 3D plant design model. It also aids in quick creation of schematic diagrams, plant layouts, and other drawings.

 

Map 3D toolset

Map 3D toolset allows user to map features to incorporate GIS and CAD data to assist in planning, design, and data management. The feature also allows to access spatial data stored in files, databases, and web services, and aggregate it with the AutoCAD design data.

 Raster Design toolset

Raster design toolset is enhanced to support edit-scanned drawings and convert the raster images into DWG objects. This is made possible with the quick to edit, cleanup, transform images, and manipulate raster entities features.

Compared to the other version, AutoCAD 2019 has a lot of promising features, which lets one develop designs in the way they have visualized and thought of. This new version also showcases industry specific toolset, which will redefine the whole process of designing and conceptualization.

Introducing AutoCAD 2018

CADDZOOM

The CAD technology is consistently updating its features to offer you supreme quality designs. The technology will help you to develop aerodynamic bikes, high-speed railways, or energy efficient building. The technology is adding value to the designed products improving the designer’s day to day efficiency. The year 2018 has brought about a lot of features in AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT technology. These added features will help designers to create and share precise drawings using the innovative productivity tools. This tool will also save a lot of time and minimize frustration making things simpler. Below are some of the enhanced features the 2018 version will bring about.

PDF Import Enhancements

The PDF import features, as indicated by the design professionals will help them save a lot of money. The AutoCAD 2018 let you use the SHX text recognition tool to quickly convert the imported PDF geometry to text and Mtext objects. The improvised text and Mtext tools, in turn, lets you convert a combination of single and multi-line text objects into a single multi-line text object automatically predicting the formatting.

Object Selection

The AutoCAD 2018 lets you begin with a selection window in one part of your drawing. You can then pan the zoom to another part while maintaining a selection of the off-screen objects.

External Reference Path Enhancements

The broken reference issue is resolved in the enhanced AutoCAD 2018 version. The new version helps to reduce this issue by saving time and minimizing the frustration. The new integrated tools help you to easily replace the paths of one or more missing references with a new path.

High Resolution (4K) Monitor Support

The 2018 version is enhanced to support high-resolution monitors to ensure the best possible viewing experience. The enhancement will make it possible to view objects and figures on a 4K display or higher versions. To make this possible, the new AutoCAD 2018 has a possibly scaled up user surface elements such as the Start tab, Palettes, Command line, Toolbars, Dialogue boxes, ViewCube, Grips and Pick pox. These elements are appropriately scaled and displayed as per the Windows settings.

 

The AutoCAD 2018 has some promising features to help you develop your designs in the way never imagined before. The new version brings a new set of capabilities to improve the graphics and performance while ensuring the Trusted DWG technology you always have been relying upon. The DWG format is updated to improve the efficiency of open and save operations.
