Whats New in AutoCAD 2019?

03/22/2018 by Leave a Comment

AutoCAD including specialized toolsets

When you subscribe to AutoCAD 2019, you gain access to all the capabilities of the industry-specific toolsets and libraries including Mechanical, Architecture, Electrical, MEP, and more. No matter the design challenge, you’ll always have the right tool at hand.

You can design more quickly with industry-specific capabilities that allow you to access to libraries of symbols, parts and detail components. This will allow you to work faster by automating the creation of annotations, layers, and properties making you more efficient in extending workflows across disciplines.

AutoCAD web & mobile apps

The new AutoCAD web app and enhanced AutoCAD mobile app, provides fast, seamless access to DWG files wherever you are, from virtually any device. This type of apps make it possible to continue your CAD work with the most up-to-date files while on-the-go.

Extend your workflows with the ability to edit, annotate, view, and create your DWGs in the web and mobile apps. Rely on the AutoCAD web and mobile apps to deliver familiar, powerful tools and reach your peak productivity instantly.

AutoCAD new features 

DWG Compare

AutoCAD 2019

DWG Compare overlays two drawings and highlights the differences between them. This makes it easy to review and understand what parts of the drawings have changed.

Shared Views

AutoCAD 2019

Shared Views is an enhancement to the “Share Design Views” feature that allows you to publish design views to a URL so you can share drawings and get feedback from clients and stakeholders without sharing the DWG files. Now it is much faster to upload a file to your browser, it’s easier for drafters to respond to feedback directly in AutoCAD and you have more control over what the collaborator can see and do.

Updated user interface

AutoCAD 2019

More than 200 dialog boxes and other User Interface elements have been updated to ensure the best possible viewing experience on 4K displays and higher.

Views and viewports

AutoCAD 2019

A new Named Views panel is added to the View ribbon tab with tools to easily create, restore, and edit named views. The View dropdown list in the panel allows you to easily restore named views by selecting it from the dropdown list. The New View tool offers a simplified version of the New View/Shot Properties dialog box with only the most basic controls for creating a new view.

We are pleased the announce the launch of SketchUp Pro 2018, customers can start placing their orders through our ordering website: click here


What’s new in SketchUp Pro?

Smarter Sections

Named Sections

Just like components, section planes have names and symbols, making them easy to find, organise, and edit in Outliner. Now, it’s  easy to access and manage sections whenever you need to.

SketchUp-namedsections

Filled Section Cuts

Filled Section Cuts are now baked into SketchUp Pro. Select a colour for your fills via the Styles dialogue and bake them into templates.

SketchUp-filledsections

Fast Sections

SketchUp features improved performance for models that use section planes to hide large amounts of geometry. The more geometry you section off, the more you’ll benefit!

SketchUp-fast-sections

Make Better Drawings

Scaled Vector Drawing

Need to add linework that’s not in your model? Create a scaled drawing in LayOut and sketch over a 3D model to flesh out your project. Or draw from details to scale from scratch directly in LayOut.

SketchUp-scaledvector

DWG Import

Import a DWG into LayOut and find illustrations already scaled to paper size. Now SketchUp projects can live side by side with CAD linework and take advantage of DWG libraries everywhere. LayOut A+: plays well with others.

SketchUp-dwg

Drawing Better

Inferencing, chamfering and filleting, arcs, offset arrays, selections: LayOut is even better at everything you need to draw details or create beautiful illustrations at scale.

SketchUp-better

Got BIM?

Advanced Attributes

SketchUp now features Advanced Attribute fields for a component’s Price, Size, URL, Type, Status, and Owner. So now it’s even easier to embed projects with useful information.

SketchUp-advanced

Aggregated Reports

Generate Report now aggregates component data so you can do things like configure reports to sum parts and quantities for schedules and cutlists, or create detailed estimates by adding up prices by layer. It’s time to crunch model data!

SketchUp-IFC

IFC Import/Export

BIM works best when information moves freely between applications. You can rely on IFC in SketchUp to transfer the attributes you assign and manipulate in projects.
