The ribbon tab VIEW has been altered to include tools that control the visibility of several User Interface elements. If you want a more “classic” look to your user interface you will have to manually set it up. Also note that the “Classic” workspace has been removed. It is still there and can be turned back on. The Workspace Dropdown is turned off by default in the Quick Access Toolbar. You can change this color scheme in the Display tab in the Options dialog. This color change hopes to lessen the strain on a user’s eyes.
It does minimalize the contrast between the drawing space and the tools around the workspace. These color changes include the ribbon, status bar, and pallets. The Learn page of the New Tab provides users access to the “What’s New” videos, the “Getting Started” videos, tips and Online Resources.ĪutoCAD 2015 has a new color theme. The Recent Documents lists your most recently opened files and the Get Connected column provides a place to log onto your Autodesk 360 account or to create a new account if you don’t have one. The Get Started column provides tools for starting a new file, open an existing file, access your templates, and can take you to sample files. When a New Tab is created you will be brought to the Create Page by default. These categories are fairly obvious as to what they do or contain. The Create page has three main columns Get Started, Recent Documents, and Get Connected. Each content area provides access to different tools. The New Tab is made up of two content areas Learn and Create. The New Tab displays when you launch AutoCAD, have no files open or start a new tab. The Welcome screen is no longer available! You know, that screen that pops up the first time you start AutoCAD and promptly set to never turn on again. One of the first things that has been changed is something that is no longer there. The First Thing You Might Not Notice is What’s Missing. You can now collaborate with Design Feed within your company without uploading to Autodesk 360 exclusively and model space viewports are extremely easy to work with.
The Welcome screen is replaced with the New Tab, text bullets are now automatic, there is a new lasso selection tool, we now have cross-hair badges, and ribbon Galleries. Between that and the new darker color scheme I found it easier to stare at my screen all day. Linesmoothing is one of those "little" things that actually make a big difference. You can still access all of the toolbars and menubar those items did not go away. Many of us used it as a very quick way to turn our toolbars back on. One thing many of you might not like is the removal of the Classic Custom Interface. Nothing major, just some simple changes that actually make a huge difference. Now we can! We can actually embed and print the maps now! Why was that so hard? the user interface got an overhaul. Great idea but we couldn't do anything with those maps. they are gone! In AutoCAD 2014 Autodesk added Bing Maps for project location. they were slow, awkward, and I never ever used them. I speaking of Quick View Drawings and Layouts. In some cases Autodesk has removed some of the bloat and replaced it with a tool that I can actually use and will use. I also like it when Autodesk removes tools that I never used. Their are some "new" things but in reality, most of them are just the same things we had before but in a different way or look. Tools that actually provide something useful. But do you know what I love even more than new tools? Increased efficiency! Improved workflow! A smoother working user interface. Don't get me wrong I love new tools as much as the next person. After using it for a while now (but not in a production environment of course) I have come to find that what they did change makes AutoCAD 2015 one of the my favorite "updates" to the AutoCAD line in a very long time. At first first I was disappointed a knee jerk reaction I believe. Autodesk did not add any real new tools to their flagship product. I would like to start off by saying that there really isn't anything new in this release. I have been beta testing it for several months now and am very happy to start talking to you about it. Autodesk has released their latest version of AutoCAD as AutoCAD 2015.
