The CAD Geek: Despite the fact there’s snow on the ground where I live in Richmond, VA, the calendar says it’s spring. That’s important because flowers are as synonymous with spring as new releases of AutoCAD. Today Autodesk announced the release of AutoCAD 2019. While in years past the focus has been on enhancements to the general design and documentation tools AutoCAD is known for; this year is a bit different.

I love the idea to consolidate all the varying toolsets autoCAD has to offer into one, sleek program with variable functionality. I haven’t been well versed in the different toolsets of the different types of autoCAD but maybe it would be easier to access and learn them if they were more easily accessible through a drop down menu in the standard autoCAD layout. Two other option I find appealing in the new autoCAD update are the Drawing Compare tools and the autoCAD Web App. When drawing something very iterative and updating and saving multiple files, I would have killed for the Drawing Compare functionality because it would be like a penultimate version of track changes in word and not only would I get to see what changes I have made, but cross check and make sure every change I expected was there. The Web App feature is just insane since autoCAD is just such a large and complicated program, the idea of having web functionality for it is just really cool.
