The following is an overview of the changes made to AutoCAD Mechanical 2019 toolset.
Refreshed Icons
As part of our continuous efforts to provide a great visual experience to our customers, the AutoCAD Mechanical 2019 toolset release has new 'flat designed' icons in the user interface for Ribbon, Status Bar, Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and Application Menu.
DWG Compare
With the DWG Compare feature, you can highlight the differences in model space between two revisions of the same drawing or different drawings. Using colors, you can differentiate between the objects that are unique to each drawing and the objects that are in common. You can exclude objects from being compared by turning off their layers.
