AutoCAD 2017 Launched With Enhanced Usability And Design Features

Autodesk Inc. announced the availability of AutoCAD 2017, the leading computer-aided design (CAD) applications. The latest release lets users work faster and smarter across connected desktop and mobile solutions, easily collaborate with colleagues, create personalized design experiences, and stay up-to-date with the newest features and updates.

AutoCAD 360 Pro, a mobile app that lets users use AutoCAD on the go, is also included in the subscription for AutoCAD 2017. Users also get to share their work with TrustedDWG technology.

IMPORT PDFs – A top-requested feature based on user feedback, PDFs have been added to the supported ‘Import File’ formats. Now users can import geometry, TrueType text and raster images from a PDF file or underlay into the current drawing as AutoCAD objects. Gone are the days of clunky workarounds or having to leave AutoCAD to import PDFs.

SMART CENTERLINES/CENTER MARKS – Creating and editing centerlines and center marks is now faster and more intuitive. When users move associated objects, the centerlines and center marks update accordingly.

AUTODESK DESKTOP APP –Product updates and learning content are seamlessly delivered to help users get the most out of new features with Autodesk Desktop App, a companion application that replaces Autodesk Application Manager. Users will also get the latest security patches and updates for all 2015, 2016, and 2017 versions of Microsoft Windows-based Autodesk products without disrupting their workflow. And it’s even subscription-aware, offering subscription-only updates and learning content for products under subscription.
