It’s a big day here at Autodesk! We’re excited to announce the launch of AutoCAD 2017 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac. The AutoCAD team has spent the past year making many improvements and enhancements to the software. The enhancements in this release were designed to match your familiar workflows, making this the ultimate Mac-native AutoCAD release. From modern, customizable tool sets, to importing PDFs and running multiple AutoCAD sessions side-by-side, we’ve added many sought-after features, allowing you to focus on designing. Below are some of the key enhancements we’ve made to AutoCAD 2017 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2017 for Mac.

Jdong Autocad 2017 For Mac

See for yourself by today. The User Interface Becomes More Organized and Intuitive One of the first things you’ll notice are significant changes have been made to the user interface that we hope you’ll love.

We redesigned the tool sets to provide you access to more tools in a more organized fashion, and added file tabs to provide an easy way for you to access all the open drawings with just a single click. Model and Layout tabs were added, the Status Bar has been updated, and the command line is anchored at the bottom of the drawing area. Tool Sets More Efficient, Customizable We divided the tool sets into two tabs: Drafting and Modeling. Not only have we provided you with easy access to tools and commands, but you can also customize these panels to suit your needs and change them as often as you want. Each tab contains predefined standard panels, grouping related commands together. Click on any standard panel to select which commands to show or hide from that set.

For more efficiency, you can collapse, move, reorder, and resize panels, all in real time. For example, you can choose to have your frequently used commands be displayed in the tool sets and get rid of the ones you never use. Create your own panels, easily adding commands by dragging from the complete command list. File Tabs Offer Easy Access to Open Drawings File tabs provide a simple way for you to access all of your open drawings. To create a drawing, click on the plus sign (+). You can also navigate through the file tabs using Control+TAB and access the shortcut menus to open, close, or save drawings by right-clicking on the file tabs.

Gain More Control Importing PDFs PDF files are a common way of publishing and sharing design data for review and markup. AutoCAD currently supports the creation of PDF files as a publishing output for drawings. PDF files can be attached to drawings, which can be used as references when collaborating on projects. In AutoCAD 2017 for Mac, you can import the geometry, TrueType text, and raster images from a specified page in a PDF file or from all or part of an attached PDF underlay. IMPORT Command The Import tool, available from the Toolbar and File Menu, enables you to import geometry from a PDF page into the current drawing as AutoCAD objects. In the “Import File” dialog, you’ll see that PDF has been added to the list of supported file formats.
