AutoCAD 2009 is Knocking at the Door!

It's everyone's favorite blog time of the year!  We get to start talking about the new features you can expect in the next release of AutoCAD!

So without further ado:

Check out the fantastic viewing tools that have been added into AutoCAD 2009!

Quick View Layouts

One of the new tools on the status bar, Quick View Layouts displays a row of your layout images.  This visual display makes it easier for you to navigate to the correct layout.  Too many layouts to fit on your screen?  No problem – just move your mouse past the edge of the image strip to view additional layouts. 

Tip:  Right clicking on any layout displays the standard shortcut menu with a fabulous new Export Layout to Model option

The Quick View control panel is used to Close, Publish all layouts, create a New Layout or to Pin your Quick View Layouts on the screen (until you decide to close them).

Tip:  Use the icons in the upper corners of each Quick View Layout for speedy Print and Publish. 

So there is your first glimpse at one of the new features in AutoCAD 2009...stay tuned until tomorrow for more!  :-)
