Message 4 of Holly: Please educate me Possibly rotate your UCS to an "oblique" orientation, then enter text as usual? Message was edited by: teiarch. Message 5 of Message 6 of Hadn't thought of that one BUT wouldn't an oblique text style be a little more practical and consistent??

Message 7 of I suppose it's a matter of personal preference or company policy If you're doing a lot of oblique text, then creating a new style makes sense - if you have to edit just one TEXT entity - maybe Properties is the way to go.

Message 8 of McSwain: Can see no option in "properties" box for obliquing angle for Mtext. I know there is one for single line text, but not for multiline text! You can also control the oblique angle of text, text tracking, and width factor directly within the multi-line text editor, rather than having to define these settings first in a text style.

A new Flip Arrow option lets you flip the direction of any dimension line arrow. For years AutoCAD users have been creating tables for use as parts lists, bills of materials, schedules, and so on, often either laboriously creating them manually or extracting attribute data to an external file, such as an Excel spreadsheet, and then importing it back into AutoCAD as an OLE or table object.

Those processes are no longer necessary. You can easily preview, sort, and reorder data within the wizard. Other enhancements let you perform calculations on table data directly within AutoCAD, reducing the need to rely on external spreadsheets. Filling a bounded area with a hatch pattern has long been an easy task in AutoCAD, but users still have numerous pet peeves. In AutoCAD , you can specify the hatch origin while creating or editing the hatch by either picking the origin point or basing it on the extents of the bounded area.

Other new hatching options let you apply the same hatch pattern to multiple areas at one time, but create them as separate hatch objects.

AutoCAD can also now determine the area of a hatched space. If you subsequently change the size of the hatch area by stretching its boundary, for example , the area recalculates and the text updates to reflect the change. This capability has endless possible uses. The list of improvements continues, and indeed some of the more subtle changes may have the greatest impact on user productivity. The OFFSET command lets you offset an object multiple times without having to reselect the object, and the command includes new options to erase the original object and to place the copies on either the same layer as the original or onto the current layer.

Even more subtle, users can now override common settings and command actions. For example, I often use the FILLET command to simply extend lines to their intersection point, but this requires first changing the current fillet radius to zero. Now, users can fillet or chamfer objects using a zero radius or chamfer distance by pressing the Shift key when selecting those objects to override the current radius or distance value.

When you type commands, a new auto complete function lets you enter just the first few letters and then press the Tab key to cycle through matching command names. AutoCAD displays smooth transitions when zooming and panning, similar to the behaviour of Autodesk Inventor. A new Drawing Recovery Manager makes it easy to locate and restore backup files or automatically saved versions of drawings without having to manually search through folders. Toolbars and windows can now be locked.

Multilines have been improved somewhat. A new JOIN command lets you combine individual segments of like objects into a single object. The list really does go on and on. It was my first CAD program. I figured AutoCAD had just about gone as far as it could go.
