It's always so exciting when a new release of AutoCAD comes out!
Let me continue on my merry way of introducing more features to you!
A New Object Snap!
Have you ever needed to find the geometric center of an object such as a polygon or a closed polyline? There can also be quite a difference from the "geometric center" and the "center" of an object. The new GCE osnap in AutoCAD 2016 will definitely come in handy and cut down on a few construction lines.
(and check out the new glyph that goes with it!)
More Command Previews
Do you have a fear of commitment? If so - I'm guessing you love the command previews that have been added over the years! They allow you to see the result before actually committing to the final action. The new commands that have previews are BLEND, ERASE, STRETCH, ROTATE and SCALE!
PDF Enhancements
PDFs in AutoCAD have come such a long way...except when it comes to fonts. Have you ever tried to search for SHX text in a PDF? You'll find that all Truetype fonts, polygonized text, SHX fonts AND Unicode characters are all searchable in PDFs exported from AutoCAD 2016 (now if we could just snap our fingers and vectorize PDFs!)
Stay tuned for more AutoCAD 2016 features soon.
