With so much convenience all in one place, getting started is never going to be the same again. Users can view AutoCAD-related announcements from the right side of the Start Window so they can keep up to date in the latest AutoCAD trends and updates. Recently used drawings can be accessed from the center of the Start Window and any recent document can be ‘pinned’ to the Start Window to maintain easy access for as long as desired. The updated Start Window has been streamlined to allow users to easily open drawings or sheet sets and create new drawings from their available templates both using convenient drop-down windows located on the left side of the Start Window. But I have a feeling that is all about to change thanks to AutoCAD’s new Start Window. I don’t know about you, but some mornings I have a hard time getting started. Share gives the AutoCAD user an excellent way to collaborate with their clients or colleagues even if they can be together in the same office. The Share button is located on the Quick Access Toolbar in AutoCAD’s desktop version and the Sharer gets to decide what level of access the Sharee is granted, either View Only or Edit. The all-new Share feature allows AutoCAD 2022 users to share their AutoCAD drawings easily and securely with whomever the wish to.

I hope you’re all as excited about Count as I am. Count is located on the Palettes panel of the View Tab of the Ribbon and allows AutoCAD users to quickly count the blocks or geometry in a drawing, identify blocks that are duplicated and superimposed over on another and identify blocks that have been exploded! Data gathered by Count can be exported to a dynamic table that updates as counted objects are increased or decreased.

I’m frequently asked is there any quick and easy way to quantify objects within drawings and while the answer has been yes for quite some time, now, because of the new Count Command it’s quicker, easier and just plain better. But you might be wondering: are there any good reasons that I should upgrade? And the answer is: Yes! Yes! A thousand time, yes! Okay, maybe not a thousand, but certainly five and here are my Top 5 Reasons to Upgrade to AutoCAD 2022. And then just like that, a new version of AutoCAD is ready for us to download and upgrade. Oh my goodness, it’s that time of year again! Just where has the time gone? If your year has been like mine, you’ve spent it using AutoCAD 2021 to update client drawings, create custom content and deliver more online training that you thought was humanly possible.
