Highlights

New Features Overview (Video)

This video shows the key enhancements in this release.

Trace

Trace provides a safe space to collaborate on drawing changes without fear of altering the existing drawing. The analogy of trace is a virtual, collaborative tracing paper that's laid over the drawing, allowing collaborators to add feedback right in the drawing.

Count

Quickly and accurately count the instances of blocks or other selected objects in a drawing. You can insert a table with the block count data into the current drawing.

Export and Import Settings

Transfer settings from one machine to another. Settings can include user profile, toolbar and toolset customizations, command aliases, plot settings, templates, and the My Properties settings for the Property palette.

Table Styles

Create and modify table styles using the new Table Style manager. Table styles control the appearance of a table and the table cells.

Insert Table Dialog Box

Create a table object using the new Insert Table dialog box where you can select table and cell styles, specify the number of rows and columns, and more.

Spotlight Search

Search for drawings based on drawing content such as text values, layer or block names, author, and more.

Share Current Drawing

Share a link to a copy of the current drawing to view or edit in the AutoCAD web app. All related DWG xrefs and images are included.

3D Graphics

This release includes the new cross platform 3D graphics system, leveraging all the power of modern GPUs and multi-core CPUs to offer a smooth navigation experience for much larger drawings.

2D Graphics Display

This release of AutoCAD for Mac includes a new graphic engine, which provides a better display effect on some high-end GPUs.

Save Publish List

When using the PUBLISH command you can now save the current list of drawings as a DSD file for reuse or load a list of drawings from a saved DSD file.

CUTBASE

The new CUTBASE command copies selected objects to the Clipboard, along with a specified base point, and removes them from the drawing.

Polyline Extend

A new grip option, Extend Vertex, adds a new vertex to your polyline extending from the selected end grip. You no longer have to reverse the polyline direction.

MLEADER Enhancement

The MLEADER command now has an option to select an existing mtext object to use for the new leader.
