Autocad 2011!

Well I watched a little bit of the Autodesk webcast yesterday (I occasionally do have to work) where Autocad 2011 was unveiled. They have made many improvements across the board, but here is an overview of one of my favorite updates.

Hatching
In Autocad 2011 they have streamlined the hatch tool. Instead of displaying the hatch dialog box, everything will be available in the ribbon! From hatch creation to hatch editing.


Autocad 2011 has also improved the grip functionality with a new center grip that allows you to manipulate hatch objects. By hovering over the new center grip you will be allowed to stretch or move the hatch or change the origin, angle, and scale of the hatch. These options will be available by selecting the grip and hitting CTRL.


This is just one of the many new updates and features in Autocad 2011. With the addition of 175 new commands expect more entries in the near future.
