Autocad 2021 books update#

And, some good news – in my opinion – is that the awesome folks at Autodesk haven’t made sweeping changes to the AutoCAD 2021 interface, in fact, side by side comparisons with AutoCAD 2020 would reveal very few differences at all. And even though I don’t love big interface changes, I do love New Features and below I’ll tell you about my Top Four! As a former Production AutoCAD user I’m not a big fan of interface changes that require the tracking down of tools that have moved to a new location (with a few exceptions). The thoughtful folks at Autodesk have added a command line option called Mode to the Trim and Extend Commands. Seventy percent of the CAD users in the world use AutoCAD. When either command is launched the Mode is set to Quick which means users do not have to select Boundary Edges when using the Extend Command nor will they need to select Cutting Edges when using the Trim Command. AutoCAD is one such program and it main claim to fame is that it is relatively easy to use, it is very comprehensive in its ability to create 2D and some 3D drawings, and it is very popular.

Autocad 2021 books update#

This is an exciting update for an AutoCAD Instructor like myself because I find newer students take a little bit of time to get the Trim and Extend Workflows down.Īll objects in the drawing are automatically identified as Boundary Edges or Cutting Edges. Now that new user can start their command and just Trim and Extend to their heart’s delight! But some longtime AutoCAD users may not like this update and for them Autodesk provided the Standard Mode which returns the Trim and Extend Commands to the classic workflow they have become accustomed to.Īnother update to the Trim Command is that when users select an object to Trim that does not have a Cutting Edge the selected object is deleted from the drawing.
