One thing that I’ve been questioning is why people bother to change it to classic without giving it a try? We, AutoCAD ninjas, most of the time don’t use toolbar anyway. The ribbon is more user-friendly for them. But I do notice that new and occasional AutoCAD users like it. So many experienced users quickly switch to the classic interface without giving the ribbon a chance. Implementing ribbon to AutoCAD probably has the strongest reaction. You may want to see how you can optimize the placement here. The only thing annoying about palettes is they can take some screen space. If you manage your similar blocks within a single file, you can use design center to create tool palettes quickly.
Because you are sharing it, it would be a good idea to protect your tool palettes too.
You can also share the tool palettes with your team by putting it in a shared folder. See how you can place some objects on their properties to tool palettes here. If you want to add hatches with different patterns or scale, you can drag them to your palettes. If you need to draw lines with different properties (layers, colors, etc.), you can put them here. You can place your frequently used tools to this palette. Tool palettes are the easiest way to create a custom tool. We used to change the properties, then click OK then close layer dialog box to see the changes. But it does have benefits: Now we can see the changes instantly. I didn’t really like layer properties palette when I first use it. Many dialog boxes in AutoCAD now become palettes. But you will only see most of the enhancements when you undock it.Ĭommand line now can AutoComplete your command, give command synonym, allows you to insert contents and change style directly.įind out more about command line capabilities in the current AutoCAD here. Command LineĬommand line has a facelift in AutoCAD 2013. Except for these three: palettes, ribbon, and dynamic input. There were many enhancements in each year. Let’s start with the most obvious: the interface. I don’t think people will care to know that now the default background is white or some other minor changes. Especially if you have used AutoCAD for a very long time. So I will write a series of AutoCAD new features. If you recently upgrades to the latest version and skip several of them, I hope this can help. Many of us don’t get new version each year, for many reasons. This blog has published many AutoCAD tutorials and tips. They love it. So I thought it’s a good idea to compile the new features, for you who want to catch up with the new features. Not only new features in AutoCAD 2011, but also some key features from 2005-2011. 
I get a chance to train some experienced users.
