Features

Greater control over drawing elements

The Drawing Explorer simplifies access to commonly used tools like linetypes, layers, UCS, references, blocks, and more.

Convert repeated geometry to blocks

BLOCKIFY automatically creates block definitions from repeated geometry, reducing DWG file size by up to 90%.

The Quad: commands at the cursor

The Quad is a predictive command palette that suggests tools based on user behavior, improving workflow speed.

Auto-align copied entities

COPYGUIDED aligns entities during copying using intelligent guide curves, manually selected or auto-detected.

Parametric blocks

Create intelligent 2D blocks with parameters to avoid repetitive design work and simplify updates.

Adaptive grid snapping

The dynamic grid snap adjusts with zoom levels, enabling precise control without relying on keyboard input.

Dynamic UCS

Automatically aligns UCS with 2D entities or 3D faces; Shift key unlocks UCS for drawing outside current alignment.

High-performance graphics engine

Each version enhances performance, delivering smoother visualizations and improved user experience.

PDF and BigTIFF underlays

Fast panning and zooming of PDF underlays and 64-bit BigTIFF images using an advanced raster engine.
