AutoCAD 2018

AutoCAD 2018 is a 3D drawing and design software developed by Autodesk, considered the leading company in design and sketching. AutoCAD is considered an essential tool for engineers to design their projects effectively. Autodesk releases a new version almost every year. The latest release from Autodesk AutoCAD has made countless improvements, which will help the work of engineers creating drawings and designs easily.

The first is to change the interface design, users can easily recognize that AutoCAD 2018 brings a new look with a more modern and youthful color. Besides, the addition of Quick Access bar is very convenient. Although the overall functions and tools installed on the software remain the same.

For most of them I would say something like, that’s when AutoCAD does that. Off-screen options allow you to start a selection window, rotate and select off-screen items. I hate it when I try to select a line and click on the blank in a dashed line.

Features of AutoCAD 2018

A temporary rubber line stretches flexibly as the cursor moves between two points in the drawing area.
The selection is maintained when rotating and enlarging other parts of the drawing causing the selected objects to turn off the screen.
Linetype distance behavior supports complex linetypes and DGN.
SHX text from PDF files can be converted from geometry to text.
Import PDF and PDF attachment tools display thumbnail previews in the Select File dialog box.
TrueType text that is rotated in imported PDF files no longer creates upside down text.
Geometry imported from PDF is scaled according to dimensions in the real world in model space if all views have the same scale.
Support for form data has been improved when importing PDF files.
The Text Matcher tool combines several individual text objects into a multi-line text object.
When attaching XREF, the default is relative path instead of full path.
Saving the drawing to another location including relative paths XREF will prompt the user to update the relative paths.
Find and replace can update all occurrences of XREF path with a new path.
Nested XREFs (children) are not found to be displayed as “orphans” instead of “Not estimated”.
The unloaded XREF can be opened from the External Reference table.
Renamed XREFs are not automatically loaded.
The external reference table recognizes the renamed XREFs that we renamed with other commands, for example, the CLASSICXREF command.
Share Design View publishes to A360 to facilitate sharing with stakeholders (no A360 account required).
The DWG format has been optimized to open and save faster when there are multiple comments or views.
For solids and 3D surfaces, the DWG format uses the latest geometric modeler that improves security and stability.
Save improved DWG performance – especially blocks with annotation ratios; Mtext with columns; and attributes and attribute definitions with multilines.
