AUTO CAD 2006 WITH SERIAL KEY
AUTO CAD 2006 |
In my newsletter on Autodesk University 2004 held in December (see AECbytes Newsletter #16), I had briefly described some potential new functionality in AutoCAD that was announced in the general session. At that time, the specifics of the next release of AutoCAD were only revealed to media personnel and were under embargo until March 15. Now that the embargo has lifted, this review provides a detailed look at what AutoCAD 2006, due to ship on March 22, has to offer. This is the 20th release of the application, which makes it a rather momentous one.
Recall that the previous release of AutoCAD-which came exactly a year ago-was primarily focused on one key new feature, the Sheet Set Manager, which provided the ability to organize,
create, and publish multiple drawing layouts into a single sheet set .There were several other enhancements related to drafting and productivity in AutoCAD 2005, but it still did not qualify as a major upgrade of the application compared to its predecessor, AutoCAD 2004 (see my review of AutoCAD 2004). From that perspective, AutoCAD 2006 fares better since it has made significant improvements to several different areas of the application. Let's see what these are.
The Command Line Finally Becomes Optional!

There were several other enhancements related to drafting and productivity in AutoCAD 2005, but it still did not qualify as a major upgrade of the application compared to its predecessor, AutoCAD 2004 (see my review of AutoCAD 2004).

The Command Line Finally Becomes Optional!
This is my personal favorite among all the new features in AutoCAD 2006. Autodesk has finally introduced a new way to interact with the application that makes the command line optional rather than mandatory. It is called dynamic input, and it comprises of three separate components as shown in Figure 1-a: pointer input, dimension input, and dynamic prompts. When all three components are active and you select a command, all coordinate and dimension values as well as command prompts are displayed near the cursor, and the values get dynamically updated as the cursor moves. These values can be edited here as required, instead of entering them in the command line. The Tab key is used to toggle between values, and the Down arrow key is used to access and select the options for a command. Figure 1-b shows how dynamic input is used for creating a shape with the Polyline command. As you can see, the Command window is now truly optional and has been turned off; previous versions did not provide this option. A new tab on the status bar, DYN, allows dynamic input to be turned on and off. You can also control the format and appearance of the dynamic input functionality by using the settings in the Drafting Settings dialog box.
