Ok...let's get right to the point...on to more information on the next great release of AutoCAD!
New Layer Evaluation Tool
A new Settings button in the Layer command allows you to turn on a new layer evaluation tool.
* The first time you save or plot, the current list of layers is stored for evaluation purposes
* When new layers are added a notification appears indicating “Unreconciled New Layers”. Click on the link to view the non-matching layers.
* A new layer filter for unreconciled layers will be automatically created.
* Layer Settings allows you to customize this process
* Two new system variables: LAYEREVAL and LAYERNOTIFY can also be used
New Layer Panel on the Dashboard
Quick access to all these cool new tools including the very popular Layer Isolate (LAYISO) and Layer Unisolate (LAYUNISO) commands! New fading options allow you to lock and fade background layers (rather than hiding them completely).
Recover drawings along with Xrefs
New drawing utility allows you to run the recover process on a drawing and all the associated xrefs. Find this under Files>Drawing Utilities or use the RECOVERALL command
Change Copy Multiple Default
Set the system variable COPYMODE to 1 to default to a single copy.
Publish Sheet Sets in Reverse Order
New option in the Sheet List right-click menu allows you to publish in reverse order.
Control whether sheets are published as a single job
New PUBLISHCOLLATE system variable allows you to print one sheet at a time. This allows other plots to enter the printing queue.
