Retain key symbols and text during dialog-based workflow:In AutoCAD 2023, you can keep key text and symbols in the drawing during a dialog-based workflow. AutoCAD is smart enough to know what you want to do next and retains the drawing and any objects that you’re no longer working on. You can see an example of this in the video below.Save time with advanced drawing and editing tools:Make complex drawings simple with the pen tool and simplified versions of the drawing commands. Define and plot mathematical and scientific functions, such as trigonometry, logarithms, and pi. Create and edit composite 2D images. (video: 1:36 min.)Update to a faster file format:Store drawings in.cdr format, a native file format. Read and write files in the latest version of AutoCAD, which supports native file formats.Quickly navigate the AutoCAD menu bar:Use the new and improved ribbon, which lets you access all AutoCAD commands without having to click through the menus.Integrated 3D modeler:Create and edit solid models right in AutoCAD, without the need for a separate modeling program. View 3D models in any view. Apply changes directly to 3D models. (video: 1:33 min.)Newly added featuresBest-in-class marker tools for pen and ink drawings:With the pen tool, you can mark up an entire drawing, including areas that are hidden behind other objects, and all the markups are automatically linked to the original drawing for any revisions. You can also paint with the paintbrush tool, use transparent shapes and fills, and add visibility to draft lines. (video: 1:45 min.)More ways to get your feedback into the drawing:Integrate external software such as Sketchbook, which can generate feedback in the drawing and link it directly to the drawing. Enable AutoCAD to automatically update itself based on feedback from external software.Multiple open sets:You can now open and edit multiple open sets simultaneously.Incremental list linetypes:Linetype previews are displayed as an icon in the drawing status bar to identify the linetype of the selected line.View Object properties:View the properties for an object and scroll through the 2be273e24d
