We’ve gone beyond the line-smoothing work in 2015 to make greater use of the GPU for elaboration of curves and line-weights. Those of you with capable graphics cards will see some nice improvements in terms of the display of curves in AutoCAD 2016. But this is also likely to be a very handy debugging tool for application developers to identify when their applications are misbehaving in this respect. This feature is intended for users to make sure they don’t have impolite apps or scripts running that don’t reset sysvars to their previous settings when they’ve finished what they’re doing. You’ll also see enhancements around wrapping of long dimension text in this release. The DIM command now infers the kind of dimension you want to create as you hover over/select geometry. The REVCLOUD command has some new options: you can easily create rectangular or polygonal revision clouds, for instance, as well as modify them afterwards. Here’s a quick run-down of the main new features…Ī new object snap mode – geometric center, or GCE at the command-line – allows you to snap to the center of closed polylines, whether regular (such as the ones shown below) or irregular.

To cherry-pick from the top of the new commands list, CLOSEALLOTHER will close all open drawings other than the one you’re currently working on: I know that one’s going to come in handy. To kick things off here are the new commands and system variables, here are those that have changed and here are those that have been removed. It’s that time again! Over the coming days you’re going to be hearing lots about the next release of AutoCAD, codenamed “Maestro”.īefore taking a look at AutoCAD 2016 from a developer’s perspective – which we’ll do next time – in this post we’re going to take a quick look at its user features.
