Any program can work well with any cloud storage providers, and I have used Dropbox and OneDrive for years. External Storage ProvidersĪutodesk claims that AutoCAD 2020 works well with other cloud storage providers.

It allows you to draw a revision cloud or other annotations. In AutoCAD 2020, AutoCAD compare the drawing within the file. It means you can’t annotate the difference or give a markup. It was useful but there is one annoying thing about it: it compares the drawings on a temporary drawing tab. DWG CompareĪutodesk introduced DWG compare on AutoCAD 2019. It tells you how many items on the drawing, on which layer, and it even tells you in which block it is for a nested block. There is one thing that is pretty handy: It helps you to find the object and gives better description on non-purgeable items. It offers the same functionality, but now you can see the preview pane on the right side. Autodesk changed the terminology from “View items you can purge” to “Purgeable items”, but they are exactly the same. Maybe in AutoCAD 2021, we can do more in the Block Palette?Īnd of course, if you prefer to use the old dialog box, you can use CLASSICINSERT command. It looks more compact and easier to use, but it doesn’t offer any new functionality. The difference is now you can access the block without closing the dialog box. But it works pretty much like the old dialog box. I expected that by using Block Palette, we could change the scale, rotation on the fly when placing a block. Autodesk changed many dialogs to Palettes. I like the Tool Palette, but the Block Palette can be better.

AutoCAD will show the live measurement between the nearest geometry according to your cursor position. You can use the live measure tool just by moving the cursor. Faster and less crash, everyone will be happy. I don’t expect Autodesk will change AutoCAD much, but they obviously need to improve the performance and reliability. This version is claimed faster than before. We know that AutoCAD always has an “updated” look. If you work with 3D, you might say 2010.ĪutoCAD 2020 is no different. The last version I remember has major improvements is AutoCAD 2008. Including the toolsets in AutoCAD 2019 was a big move, but they are not new. AutoCAD hasn’t changed much in many years. I remember people are used to be enthusiastic to see what is new. As usual, Autodesk released their new software in quarter 1.
