The new Path array makes it easy to array items along an object such as a spline as seen in Figure 2 (no more depending on the archaic Divide and Measure commands!).įigure 2: The new Path array makes it easy to array along a spline The array maintains its associativity until you explode it (or you can use your control key to manipulate individual items). In AutoCAD 2012 you can easily change the number or rows, distance between the items, number of items, etc long after your array is completed. Gone are the days where you have to start all over when you need to change the factors that make up an array. I’ve received numerous oohs and ahs when I demo the new Associative Arrays. You’ll find these powerful multi-functional grips show up on many objects such as lines, arc, mleaders and even 3D objects!įigure 1: The new multi-functional grips take you directly to popular editing tools For example – if you hover over the endpoint grip of a dimension you can quickly add a baseline or continued dimension as seen in figure 1. The new multi-functional grips will save you time by taking you into editing commands straight from the objects. The in-canvas viewport controls allow you to quickly setup a viewport configuration, shift to a different viewing angle, or change your visual style. You just start typing – and AutoCAD will present you with a myriad of commands and system variables that start with the same characters (a definite time saver).
#Autocad 2012 software#
There’s something in it for everybody and it has been a real crowd pleaser! There are new 2D and 3D features – so regardless of how you use the software – you’re sure to find a new tool that will save you some valuable drawing time – let’s take a look!įor those of you who key in commands (and you know who you are) you’ll find the new AutoComplete a welcome addition. Showing AutoCAD users the new features in AutoCAD 2012 has been an absolute dream for me.
