AutoCad 2020 function introduction

New dark colorTopic

You have been using the same user interface without any changes. Past customer feedback has repeatedly pointed out that we need to make significant changes to improve the clarity of dark themes. Similar sharpening has been applied to light themes. As you can see, we optimized the background color using the icon color to provide the best contrast so as not to distract from the drawing area, allowing the user's focus to remain there. Contextual tabs on the ribbon now highlight more clearly when they are active (such as when editing text or creating a hatch). The source and destination arrows entered will not have the correct wire numbers. The source and destination arrows will also lose their relationship to each other.

Schematic Terminal Blocks will retain their electrical characteristics, but the terminal wire numbers will not be updated.

The balloons entered by the balloons will not be grouped and will only be provided as exploded geometry objects.

The results of comparing input operations on AutoCAD Mechanical toolset objects

​ ​ Mechanical symbol input Mechanical symbols attached to an object will also input the associated object. For example, if a welding symbol is attached to a rectangle, entering the welding symbol will also import the rectangular object.

Standard Parts Importing a standard part will not update the bill of materials (BOM) unless the standard part's associated part reference is also selected.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Objects and Other Calculation Objects Import FEA objects will not include their mechanical data, and objects will be imported as blocks.

Ribbon access Collaborate tab > Compare panel > DWG Compare.

New command COMPARECLOSE - Closes the Compare toolbar and exits the comparison. COMPAREEXPORT - Outputs the comparison results to a new graph called a "Snapshot Graph" and then opens the graph. COMPAREIMPORT - Import objects from the comparison file into the current drawing. Only the selected objects that exist in the comparison file but do not exist in the current file are imported.

Measure Geometry Options: Fast Measurements Measurements are made even faster with the new “Fast” option of the MEASUREGEOM command. Use this option to quickly view dimensions, distances, and angles in 2D graphics. If this option is active, the command dynamically displays dimensions, distances, and angles in a 2D drawing as you move the mouse over and between objects. The orange square shown on the left side of the illustration represents an angle of exactly 90 degrees. The distance between the two objects in the illustration below will be measured because they are parallel.

Changed command MEASUREGEOM – Added “quick” option for real-time measurements. new system variables

Performance-enhancing new installation technology significantly reduces installation time on solid-state drives (SSDs), typically by about half the time. Network access times for xrefs, blocks, and supporting files have been improved. Supporting documentation includespatternAssociated files such as fills, tool palettes, fonts, linetypes, template files, standards files, etc. The degree of improvement depends on the size and content of the graphic file and network performance. Support cloud services

AutoCAD 2020 now supports connecting and storing to multiple cloud service providers when using the Save, Save As, and Open commands. Depending on the installed programs, the Drop list in the AutoCAD file selection dialog box can include Box, Dropbox, and several similar services. Save to Web and Mobile enhancements

​ ​ AutoCAD 2020 includes additional support for AutoCAD Web and AutoCAD Mobile. The enhancements are as follows:

         Includes external references to drawing files saved for access by AutoCAD Web and Mobile.

The CAD Administrator Control Utility includes a new checkbox on the Online Content tab to disable the SAVETOWEBMOBILE and OPENFROMWEBMOBILE commands. This control has been added for sites that need to keep graphics exclusively within their organization's network. AutoCAD now launches correctly when using different DirectX drivers (Dx9, Dx11 or no driver), high-resolution (4K) monitors, and dual monitors. Additionally, graphics display settings have been consolidated into three modes, including gradient hatch and image. Graphics performance settings ("Intermediate Mode") have been updated to automatically reset multiple display parameters to optimize the display.

At the command prompt, enter GRAPHICSCONFIG. The Graphics Performance dialog box appears as shown in the following section. Changed commands AutoCAD creates specificdataFour potential vulnerabilities in the document have been closed. Several dependencies based on DLLs or other components used in AutoCAD that have known vulnerabilities have been removed or upgraded. Parts of the component that will become vulnerable in the future are being replaced. The potential server vulnerability has been closed with the upgrade. Due to the sensitive nature of some of these repairs, we intentionally avoid providing overly specific instructions.

Ribbon Access The ribbon provides access to a library of blocks available in the current drawing, with two new options, Recent Blocks and Blocks from Other Drawings. Both options open the Blocks palette to the Recent tab or the Other Drawings tab. The Current Drawing tab in the Blocks palette displays the same blocks in the current drawing as in the ribbon library. You can place blocks from the Blocks palette by dragging and dropping or clicking and placing.

​​Cleaning Redesign The Cleaning feature has been revamped to make it easier to clean and organize drawings. The controls are basically the same, but orientation is more efficient, and the Preview area is now resizable. Note that zero-length geometries are now cleaned up, but empty text objects are not. Use the checkboxes in the Unused Named Items panel to select purgeable items by category or to select them one by one. The Find Uncleanable Items button displays information specific to why the selected item cannot be cleaned, which can be useful in many situations. For objects that cannot be cleaned, the new design provides enhanced information (including the number of objects on each layer and their impact on file size), as shown below. The Select Object button shown in the image below zooms in on specified objects that cannot be cleaned.

Changed command PURGE - Opens the redesigned Purge dialog box.

DWG Comparison Enhancements The main enhancement to the DWG Comparison function is that you can now directly compare and compare the current drawing with the specified drawing in the comparison state.Edit. The comparison is made within the current drawing. Any changes made in the current drawing or the compared drawing are dynamically compared and highlighted. To facilitate direct editing in the comparison state, the options and controls for this feature have been moved from the Ribbon to the fixed toolbar at the top of the drawing area. Most options have been consolidated and enhanced into the Settings control, as shown. Comparisons can be easily toggled from the toolbar, and the display of difference types from the Settings control.

​ ​ Additionally, the default colors can be easily changed by clicking on the color for a preferred color or a color vision disorder-friendly color. In this diagram, the color of "Not in Current Drawing" changes from red to yellow.

      进行比较输入操作后的结果

      导线导线将丢失一些特性(如颜色和尺寸)。 Wire data is available as layers in the project and cannot be imported into drawing comparison mode.

The wire number is disconnected from the wire. The wire number entered loses its relationship to the wire.
