The Purge tool has also been revamped and it now looks like this.Īs you can see in this window there are two huge buttons on the top “Purgeable Items” and “Find Non-Purgeable Items”. The tool will not work on intersecting lines it will, however, show the values like the radius of a circle or arc when you hover your cursor over that kind of object. When you select the tool and move around your drawing it will automatically measure the distances between parallel sides of the drawing and it will also show the perpendicular angles in the drawing. This new tool is added on the Utilities panel of the Home tab. The new tool Quick Measure now allows measuring distances in the drawing in Realtime by dynamically moving the cursor in the drawing area. The Blocks palette also has a new “Insertion Options” panel with common options like insertion point, scale, Rotation angle and Explode.Ī new option Repeat Placement is also added and checking this option in the palette allows you to repeatedly insert the same block without selecting it from the blocks palette again and again. All the blocks from that drawing will be populated in the Other Drawing tab from where you can insert it by simple drag and drop. To insert blocks from other drawing select the browse icon on the Other Drawing tab and select your drawing in the next window and click the open button. Also, you can drag and drop the blocks from the palette to the drawing area. To insert the blocks from the Current drawing and Recent tabs you need to just click on the block and click in the drawing are to insert it. You no longer need to open drawings with Design Center to access blocks from other drawings and you can now do it directly from the blocks palette. This palette has three tabs Current Drawing, Recent and Other Drawing.Īll the blocks of the drawings rest in the Current drawing tab, the recently used blocks will show up in the Recent tab and you can use the Other Drawing tab to access blocks from other drawings. New Blocks PaletteĪ new Blocks palette is added in the new version which can be activated by BLOCKSPALETTE command. The user interface has a fresh look with flat tabs and light grey ribbon sticking out of the dark contrast of the drawing area.Īpart from ribbon area and file tabs the status bar and info bar also have a revamped dark and flat look. So let’s begin with the very first noticeable change in the 2020 version that is the user interface. I also installed my shiny new AutoCAD 2020 to test the new features.
Just like every year, the new version of AutoCAD is released with new features and enhancements.
