Discover the Latest AutoCAD 2024 Enhancements and Features!

April 04, 2023 2 min read

Experience a New Era of Design Efficiency with AutoCAD 2024: Streamline Your 2D and 3D workflows, collaborate with ease on DWG files, and leverage the latest machine learning advancements with Markup Import, Markup Assist, Smart Blocks, and Tailored Industry Toolsets.

Here's a list of the new innovative features:

Activity Insights
AutoCAD's Activity Insights feature is an essential tool for anyone working with drawing files. It provides valuable insight into past actions and changes made to your drawing files, allowing you to work more efficiently and collaboratively. So, start utilizing this powerful feature today and take control of your drawing processes.
Not only does it track events within AutoCAD, but it can also track some events outside of the software, such as a drawing rename or copy in Windows Explorer. This comprehensive tracking system ensures that you have complete visibility into your drawing processes. When you open a drawing, Activity Insights reads past events performed in the drawing from its database and displays them chronologically in the Activity Insights palette. This allows you to see a history of changes made to the drawing and by whom.

Smart Blocks
The new smart block functionality can offer placement suggestions based on where you've placed that block before in the drawing. As you insert a block, the engine gives placement suggestions close to a similar geometry where you've placed that block before.
When selecting block references to replace, smart blocks suggests similar blocks for you to select from. The scale, rotation, and attribute values are maintained from the original block.

Apple Silicon Native Support
AutoCAD for Mac 2024 runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. The performance is improved significantly when running natively on Apple Silicon machines.

Enhanced features in AutoCAD 2024:

Markup Import and Markup Assist
AutoCAD 2024 uses machine learning to detect and execute certain instructions in markup text including "MOVE," "COPY," or "DELETE" commands. Markups can be imported as a PDF, PNG, or JPG and are overlaid on top of your drawing in the Trace workspace. Markups in the imported file are automatically identified as mtext, mleaders, and revision clouds.
Markup Assist lets you insert those identified markups into the drawing as geometry. Markup Assist automatically identifies markups as text, leaders, and revision clouds. Click an identified markup, then insert it as an mtext, mleader, or revcloud object. You can edit the text before inserting it, or choose to copy the text to the clipboard.
