*This feature is a technology preview which is still under development and will continue to evolve and improve with time.
**Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialized toolsets within
AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset
and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the percent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine,
operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and
specifications are subject to change without notice. Autodesk provides this information “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
Smart Blocks: Replacement
Quickly find the blocks you need by replacing
one or more blocks with suggestions by
Autodesk AI, recently used blocks, and
manual substitute block selection.
Smart Blocks: Placement
Automatically place blocks in your drawing based
on where you’ve inserted the same ones thus
far in your DWG file, reducing the number of
clicks and saving you time in the process.
Markup Assist Updates
Make cross-platform markup workflows faster
through expanded capabilities with Autodesk
AI and essential experience improvements.
Trace
Add design change notes and markups without
altering your existing drawing from AutoCAD
desktop in addition to the web and mobile apps.
Count
Count automates the counting of blocks or
objects within a selected area or throughout your
entire drawing with a menu to identify errors
and navigate through your counted objects.
Smart Blocks: Object Detection Tech Preview
Improve design efficiency and save time
when cleaning up drawings by automatically
recognizing objects to convert into blocks
with the help of Autodesk AI.*
Smart Blocks: Search and Convert
Quickly search your drawings for objects to convert
into instances of a newly defined block, an existing
or recently used block, or a suggested block from
your Block Libraries with the help of Autodesk AI.
Activity Insights Updates
Access to essential design data with detailed multi-
user event logs—tracking for over 35 activity types
including version history and file comparison tools.
Hatch Improvements
You can now add texture to your drawings
through patterns, fills, and paths—without pre-
defined shapes or enclosed boundaries.
Markup Import from Autodesk Docs
Import and connect PDF markups from Autodesk Docs.
Once synced, markups made in Autodesk Docs will
continue to update in a Trace layer.
ArcGIS
®
Basemaps
