New Since AutoCAD 2020
Chapter 1
The Start tab has been redesigned in AutoCAD 2024 to
provide a consistent, easy-to-use interface. 15
The My Insights feature was added in AutoCAD 2022
to provide personalized information based on how you
use AutoCAD in your day-to-day work. 17
The new File Tab menu introduced in AutoCAD 2024
makes it easier to create, open, save, close, and switch
between drawings. 19
The new Layout Tab menu has been introduced in
AutoCAD 2024. 19
The new Share feature introduced in AutoCAD 2022
shares a link to a copy of the current drawing to view or
edit in AutoCAD Web. 21
Chapter 2
AutoCAD 2021 added a new Layout menu that allows
you to switch between layouts, create a layout from a
template, publish layouts, and more. 60
Chapter 8
The Trim and Extend command options have been 315streamlined as of AutoCAD 2021.
The BREAKATPOINT command added in AutoCAD
2021 enables you to break an object at a single point. 329
Chapter 9
The new REVCLOUDVARIANCE system variable
introduced in AutoCAD 2021 controls whether revision
cloud arcs are created with varying or uniform chord
lengths. 360
The new REVCLOUDPROPERTIES command, also
introduced in AutoCAD 2021, controls the approximate
chord length for the arcs in a selected revision cloud. 362
Chapter 16
The Blocks palette has been enhanced since AutoCAD
2021 to also include a Favorites tab. 653
Chapter 17
The new Xref Compare tool added in AutoCAD 2021
allows you to compare changes made to an xref in the
current drawing. 732
Chapter 18
AutoCAD 2021 added a Quick option to the
MEASUREGEOM command that allows you to
measure the area and perimeter within a space
enclosed by drawing objects. 797
AutoCAD Web has been greatly improved in AutoCAD
2024 and now has an “open in desktop” option. 805
The new Share Drawing tool added in AutoCAD 2022
allows you to share a link to a copy of the current
809drawing online via AutoCAD Web.
The new Push to Autodesk Docs tool added in
AutoCAD 2022 allows you to upload AutoCAD drawings
and layouts as PDFs BIM 360 or Autodesk Docs. 810
The new Traces feature added in AutoCAD 2022
provides a safe space for providing feedback on a
drawing without altering the existing drawing. 810
The new Markup Import and Markup Assist tools
added in AutoCAD 2023 provide a way to view and
insert drawing revisions utilizing the Trace
environment. 811
The Count tool added in AutoCAD 2022 enables you to
quickly and accurately count the instances of objects
in a drawing. 814
