The New Standard in
CAD Productivity
AutoCAD® 2006 to
realize our ideas with
maximum speed, power,
and efficiency. Beginning
with dramatically smaller
file sizes in AutoCAD
2004, and continuing
with the Sheet Set Manager
in AutoCAD 2005, Autodesk
is raising the bar on
productivity once more
with AutoCAD 2006. From
the new dynamic blocks
capability that allows
us to quickly create,
manipulate, and extract
data from blocks, to
heads-up design, which
keeps our focus on our
work rather than on
the software, AutoCAD
2006 makes an impact
on the way we work,
every single day.
Dynamic Blocks
Blocks are a lot smarter
in this release. As
designs become more
complex, block libraries
grow. And as block libraries
grow, data becomes difficult
to manage. AutoCAD 2006
puts the control back
where it belongs—with
us. Dynamic blocks dramatically
reduce cumbersome block
libraries and enable
us to modify block geometry
during insertion with
new grips and action
features.
Annotating and Composing
Drawings
Streamline the creation,
placement, and editing
of text and table information
with the new AutoCAD
2006 Mtext command and
enhanced table features.
Now, text created in
the Mtext Editor has
exactly the same appearance
in the editor as it
does in the drawing.
Positioning text is
a snap, we can create
bulleted lists in the
format that conforms
to our drawing standards.
And we can automatically
update our table calculations
as our designs and documentation
progress. Hatching capabilities
are also greatly enhanced.
Hatch multiple areas
with a single command,
add and remove hatch
boundaries, and easily
calculate the area of
single or multiple hatches,
with the value displayed
as a field on the drawing.
Enhanced User
Interface
With AutoCAD 2006, we
no longer have to shift
our focus between our
drawing and the command
line. In addition to
the traditional method
of entering information,
AutoCAD 2006 puts the
power of the command
line at the graphics
cursor, where we can
enter dimensional and
command option information
as we work. Also new
in this release are
customizable tool palettes.
Whether we want commands,
blocks, macros, company
standards, or LISP routines,
we can have the content
we use every day, organized
the way we use it.
