User innterfaceFile tabbsThe New TabT drawing file tab has been renamedd to Start and remains perssistent as youu create and oopenadditional drawings.

It is aaccessible from theel and includees three methods of creatioon: rectangullar, polygonal, and freehannd—Annotate Ribbon panein addition to the Command line opption to selectt an object. TThe last used ccreation method isered the next time the commmand is run. You can set your own default creationn method usinngremembethe REVCLLOUDCREATEEMODE systemm variable.6

The number of grips dissplayed for reevision cloudss has beensignificanttly reduced. TheT location anda behavior of grips is baased on the shhape of the reevision cloud. Forexample, if the revisionn cloud was generatedgby selecting a ciircle, it will innclude a centeer grip and foourquadrant grips enablinng you to edit it like a circlee. If it was ge nerated by picking polygoonal points, it willinclude veertex and middpoint grips. If you prefer legacyldisplayy of grips, youu can set REVVCLOUDGRIPSS toOff.In addition to easier edditing with grips, a new Moodify option eenables you tto draw new revision clouddelected portioons of existingg revision clouuds.

DimenssioningDIM commmand enhaancementsThe DIM commandcis significantlysenhancedein AutoCADA20166 and is now accessible froom the Annottateribbon tabb. Next to it you’llyfind a new dimensionn layer controol. Dimensionns created using the DIMcommandd are automattically placed on the speciffied layer. If aan appropriatte dimension layer doesn’tcurrently exist in the drawing, you canc quickly crreate one andd apply it to the DIM commmand using thhem variable.new DIMLLAYER systemOptions withinwthe DIMM command area now displayed at the ccommand linee and in the right-click mennu,eliminatinng the need foor you to remmember whichh options are available andd how to enteer them.However, even the neeed to specify Dimension options is sign ificantly reduuced in AutoCCAD 2016. Now theDIM commmand automaatically createes appropriatte dimensionss based on thhe type of objects you select. Apreview asa you pass thhe cursor over those objects enables yoou to see the resulting dimmension beforre youactually create it. For exampleeif you launch the DIM commannd and hoverr the cursor ovver a linear oobject,a previeww of the approopriate horizoontal, vertical, or aligned ddimension is ddisplayed. Aftter selecting ttheobject youu can either placepthe dimension or hovver the cursoor over anotheer non-parallel linear objeect todisplay annd place an anngular dimension.8

ArcA objects innclude the additional optioon to create aan angular dimmension.The DIM commandcfurrther simplifiees creating dimensions by eliminating pprompts to mmodify thedimensionn text and angle. Instead, thet default vaalues are autoomatically appplied. Mtext,, Text, and TeextAngle opttions are available from the command line and right -click menus if you choosee to change thhedefault vaalues.If you atteempt to creatte a dimensioon that overlaaps with othe r similar dimeensions, a currsor menu offfersoptions too automatically move, break up, or replace the existting dimensioon in addition to simply plaacingthe new dimensiondon top of the exxisting ones withoutwaffectting them.When using the Baseline or Continuue options, yoou are autommatically prommpted to selecct the firstn line origin.extensionRegardlesss of which tyype of dimenssion you creatte, the DIM coommand remmains active, eenabling you toeasily placce additional dimensions untiluyou exit the commannd.9
ap in DimensionsText wraWhen editing dimensioon text, a widdth sizing control is displayyed above thee text, enablinng you to speecifythe width for text wrappping. This was the #8 AUGGI wishlist reqquest.TextTo addresss the AUGI #5 wishlist reqquest, a new TextT frame prroperty has bbeen added too Mtext objeccts,enabling youy to create a border aroound the text.The Match text formattting button in AutoCAD 20016 is “stickyy,” so you can apply the properties of thhet multiple times within an Mtext object. It's availaable for all obbjects that usse Mtext incluudingselected textmleaders,, tables, and dimensions.d10
Geomettric Centerr object snnapThe #2 AUUGI wishlist reequest has beeen granted withw the addittion of a neww Geometric CCenter objectsnap. Usinng the Geomeetric Center objectosnap yoou can snap tto the geometric center off polygons andclosed polylines. It is accessible by enteringeGCE at the commmand line as wwell as from tyypical osnapcontrols, including the Drafting Setttings dialog box, Status ba r, and contexxtual menus.Tooltips distinguishdthee Geometric CenterCosnapp from the traaditional Centter osnap.A new objject tracking glyph distinguuishes the Ceenter object s nap from othher object snaaps that displaythe traditional “ ” glypph.11
