AutoCAD 2015: Enhancements

Help window The UI finder shows tool locations directly from the relevant Help content.

An animated arrow points you to the tool in the ribbon.

Geographic location Capture online maps as a static images and print them. Freeze a contextual

location so designs won’t change even if site maps do.

Productivity tools Using text within a drawing just got easier! Mtext works more like a word

processor, with features like bold, italic, align, and word wrap.

Reality computing Includes geographic location and new color displays. Improved

performance enables denser point cloud display and orienting UCS planes.
