Autodesk Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of AutoCAD 2020 Product Line. This software is a flexible and class leading 2D and 3D CAD design and detailing solution from Autodesk.

The Autodesk team thrilled to bring you AutoCAD 2020, packed with new features and enhancements to help you design, draft, and bring visions to life.

New dark theme brings clarity
AutoCAD 2020 and all the specialized toolsets have a fresh new look! The dark theme now has a modern dark blue interface that’s easy on the eyes. The new dark theme is designed to work with recent contrast improvements and sharper icons.

Performance improvements speed up work
Our mission is for AutoCAD to continue to be the high-performing, high-fidelity, powerful engine you trust. With AutoCAD 2020:
. Each time you save your work now takes just half a second—one whole second faster on average. This could save you hours of time each year. (In just one year, all AutoCAD users would save 80 work years collectively!)
. In addition, install time is 50% faster for solid state hard drives.

Quickly display measurements at a glance
In AutoCAD 2020, measuring distances is faster than ever with the new Quick Measure tool, which measures 2D drawings simply by hovering your mouse. Dimensions, distances, and angles are dynamically displayed as you move your mouse over and between objects.

Insert blocks efficiently with Blocks palette
The new Blocks palette makes it easier to insert blocks with visual galleries and the ability to filter for the exact block you’re looking for. You can simply drag and drop blocks into the drawing from Current Drawing, Recent, or Other Drawing tabs. The palette increases efficiency for finding and inserting multiple blocks and recently used blocks—including the addition of a Repeat Placement option to save steps.

Easily clean drawings with redesigned Purge
The Purge feature has been redesigned for easier drawing cleanup. Remove multiple unneeded objects at once with easy selection and a visual preview area. Check out the Find Non-Purgeable Items button with a Possible Reasons section, to understand why certain items can’t be purged.

Compare drawing revisions in one window
A favorite from last year’s release, the DWG Compare feature has been enhanced based on your feedback. You can now compare two versions of a drawing without leaving your current window and import desired changes into the current drawing in real time. Quickly toggle on and off the comparison with the new DWG Compare toolbar.

AutoCAD partners with Microsoft and Box
AutoCAD is partnering with Microsoft and Box, so as of today, if you already store your files in Microsoft OneDrive or Box, you’ll have streamlined workflows and can take advantage of anytime access to any DWG file with AutoCAD.

Partnering with Microsoft and Box paves the way for smooth and efficient workflows to achieve greater productivity. Your work can be done online in AutoCAD and stored directly in the cloud. Now, you can quickly open any DWG file stored in Microsoft OneDrive and Box with the AutoCAD web app, at the push of a button. The AutoCAD web app runs in the web browser on virtually any computer, so you don’t even need AutoCAD installed on your machine to be able to open, review, and edit your drawings.

The integrations speed up getting into your files, as well as cut down collaboration time by allowing you to view and edit drawings in real time. You can save your updated files to OneDrive and Box without ever leaving the AutoCAD web app, letting you work without disruption.

Partnering with Microsoft and Box also provides flexibility. For example, if you have DWG files stored in Autodesk’s cloud, you can open them, with their Xrefs, on any device with AutoCAD desktop, web, and mobile apps. The same is true if your DWG files are stored in Microsoft OneDrive, and Box, although Xrefs aren’t packaged. With cloud capabilities, you can store your files where you like and conveniently access them in AutoCAD from the office, the jobsite, and on the go.
