5 What's New in AutoCAD 2013

Some of the innovations we have seen in the beta version of AutoCAD 2013 called for this Jaws version tell us what trends we would be seeing for April of the 2012 year, when it will be officially launched; although we barely digest What's New in AutoCAD 2012.

Autocad 2013From the outset the already known news: A new 2013 dwg format !. What happens is that we are not surprised, because badly accustomed we understand that AutoDesk does this every 3 years (I used to do it every year), so the dwg 2010 time has expired, which was the same for 2011 and 2012. Although AutoDesk says it is to optimize the format, we understand that it is also to control competitors and frustrate the life of OpenSource platforms .

But to see that not everything is bad, now AutoCAD 2013 is multilanguage (well almost). It is no longer necessary to install each version in the specific language, but you can download another language and install it ... just as other programs do (hace 800 años)

There are also improvements in the functionality of the Ribbon, more than to search for commands. After the Ribbon arrived, functionalities have been increased that make it attractive, especially contextual ones. It can be seen in commands like Array and Hatch, that instead of lifting the annoying floating window they are displayed in the headband palette, facilitating the preview and interactive options.

1. The welcome panel

A welcome panel has been integrated when starting the program, something similar to the panel that Corel Draw X5 has, with options to make a new drawing, open an existing one, open examples or find out what's new in the version. The functionality is very good, especially for new users who enter and do not find what to do with so much dispersed button, there are also access to initiation videos and links to social networks Facebook and Twitter.

Below you have an option to avoid this when entering, and it can also be called from the help menu. Also the help can now be offline.

2. The Command Line

Autocad course 3d 300 A good AutoCAD 2012 course freeIn the version of AutoCAD 2012 the option to autocomplete commands was added, and although this is an archaic functionality, it will be difficult for it to disappear completely. Now the option that can be removed as a hanging window has been put, auto adaptable to different placement options.

AutoCAD 3D course for only US $ 34.99

It seems to me to be one of the best changes applied by AutoDesk, which started from AutoCAD 2011, the historical command line maintains transparency, so it bothers the drawing or the workspace less. Although we clarify -Thanks to the intervention in one of the comments- it supports color and the command alternatives show the letter in a different color, it is not new; but it is now possible to click on the option, with which we believe that the prehistoric use of the keyboard will definitely die gradually, since the right mouse button was somewhat annoying. Additionally, we believe more capabilities will be integrated to avoid the keyboard, such as enter, space or scape.

Autocad 2013

In spite of everything, the command line was always better than the Keyin of Microstation and it will cost the traditional users to release it; although for the users that knew AutoCAD for the first time already with the Ribbon, they will continue thinking that it is an old functionality like the Command Prompt of the DOS.

 

3. Preview of changes

Currently, if you have something selected and the properties panel is raised, it is not possible to see previously how it will be grips and dotted lines. That will no longer be the case ... the change is very good, although we would expect it to extend to the preview of the change in line type, font or dimension properties.

Autocad 2013

Autocad 20134. The Model Documenter

This was implemented in AutoCAD 2012, and for this version it brings new improvements, quite good by the way, in handling cuts and cross sections of 3D objects. This is reflected especially in the hatching of cuts, handling of different types of units, parameterized stretching and associative dimensioning. Although this has a lot of potential in the handling of layouts, very little has been appropriate by users in the civil area, especially since they are waves that were placed there to seek compatibility with Inventor (even now Inventor models can be imported); On the Bentley side it is seen more with the implementation of the dynamic cut sections in the hypermodels.

 

5. Support for point clouds

Autocad 2013It is not entirely new either, although now the option appears on the Ribbon under the Insert option, and some capabilities have been expanded. While the improvements for handling external references and raster files are still miserable (compared to other programs that support more formats and excluding Civil 3D), the extension of options in the pointcloud support as a normal routine is striking. Now when selecting an object of this type, the ribbon is activated in a contextual way for easy access, among these options the clip cut.

Also in the properties table, you can filter specific actions for pointcloud objects.

Supports scan files of type Faro (fls, fws, xyb) Standard ASCII (xyz, txt, asc), las, Leica (ptg, pts, ptx) and Topcon (clr, cl3). The way it operates is similar to loading reference files, being able to configure color, intensity and cropping options.

It remains to be seen how it handles the memory of the computer, which has always been a weakness in AutoCAD, an improvement in this 2013 version is supposed in the indexing and batch import. We are left wondering how the issue will walk with the relationship of Pointools, which has had a lot to do with what AutoCAD now achieves in this, however being that company Acquired by Microstation And what they intend to do with Descartes, will surely be difficult to overcome.

When saving the file in the previous version to the dwg 2013, the system alerts by the change of compatibility.

 

Other minor changes

  • The Viewports panel is now no longer in the Viw tab but in Layout
  • The miniature previews of the drawings are now a little more eye-catching
  • In the handling of 3D objects, very little, just the curved surface extraction and the extrusion with the command PRESSPULL that although it is not new command (rinsing), raises the option of extrusion distance no more is selected the object.
  • When you export the layout, the regen command is now executed so that the circles do not go as polygons
  • The offset can now be seen in preview, as does the parallel command of microstation
  • Double click now activates text editing
  • There is support for storing in the cloud, you can share and open collaboration via AutoCAD WS

But this is a preliminary review, almost 5 months before it is released AutoCAD 2013, so you have to wait more; As well as the almost parallel update of AutoCAD for Mac.

The beta testers version can be downloaded from:  https://beta.autodesk.com/

The installation includes the update of the .NET Framework Runtime 4.0, the Faro SDK, DirectX Runtime and some Visual C ++ libraries.

Here you can see a complete summary of What's New in AutoCAD 2013, Compared to the versions of other years.

  1. Hello everyone looking at several pages that deal with Autocad and seen comments for and against it, for my part I will tell you that autocad is friendly either through its icons or its short commands but everything depends on what we are going to draw. Since if we want to draw a mechanical piece quickly I suggest you use Inventor, SolidWork or CATIA and if you are going to draw an architectural plan, REVIT, for more than 20 years ago, used Autocad and drawn architectural, mechanical, structural, palette plans , etc, and it has given me results. In Mexico most of the small and medium industries use Autocad and not a current version if not versions that go from the 2000 to the 2005 since buying a new version every year would be expensive, for which the cartoonist has to adapt to this versions. Well to summarize all CAD software is good and each has its advantages and disadvantages, each one is friendly if the designer or designer puts the best of himself to be able to dominate and have the patience to study his handling, without the patience and desire to learn any program we will see it not as a tool but as an enemy. A cordial greeting for all.

  20. Is very ex3lente the new packages incluooo no longer have no problemass graxias

  21. HELLO DANIEL IN YOUR AUTOCAD YOU OPEN TOOLS AND YOU GO TO OPTIONS TO ELIGES OPEN AND SAVE AND YOU CHOOSE HOW TO SAVE YOUR AUTOCAD FILES SO YOU CAN SEE AND WORK IN LAST VERSIONS

  22. HELLO GOOD DAY TO YOUR AUTOCAD 2013 CONFIGURALO TO SAVE ALL YOUR WORKS IN A DELAYED VIEW SO YOU CAN VISUALIZE THEM AND WORK THEM IN ANY OTHER VERSION YOU WILL GO TO TOOLS YOU GO TO OPTIONS AND YOU CHOOSE OPEN AND SAVE AND YOU CHANGE WHEN VERSION IS RECORDED

  23. When you save the files in AutoCAD 2013, choose to save them as 2010 version, so you will not have problems to see them with the version you have in your house.

  24. A query, in my university we have cad 2013, but in my house I use 2011, and I can not open the 2013 file, how can I do it to open it, can I or do I have to install the 2013?

  25. When I started using computers, around in the bachelor years, I could not find anything that caught my attention, until I met the autocad (10 version), when I learned about this program, I understood many things that can be done with these machines, from the games of entertainment, to the advanced programming in autolisp, I could never finish a plane inked by hand with leroy and much less that I would be satirfied with the results, without having done with autocad I have finished hundreds or thousands, since I became Engineer, thanks to this tool with which you can program the calculations resulting in the drawing (automatic)

    There are other very respectable programs such as archicad, which may be better, depending on the determination that each of us has to take advantage of them.

    I do not use the autocad to 100%, since each one of us has different needs, in my case, I was lucky enough to start my career almost at the same time as the autocad era, always at the forefront, that has allowed me to be more competent.

    If it is faster using the abbreviated commands, and the mouse only to control the zoom, with programming by means of scripts, can do really surprising things.

    Greetings ..

  26. Greeting I have been reading the comments on the subject of the car cad me guitaría limit the following
    When I learned how to use this design tool they were taught to use the short commands as the way to know the origin of the same I have given several courses of auto CAD and I have taught them to use both the shortcuts and the commands that appear in each window of the program as such but the worst is that in many offices. The operators are blocked by the program and do not know how to solve the problem or how to get out is embarrassing and I do not seem to criticize in a bad way those who manage the program with the keyboard but if I tell them that the way to work only with the icons anyone draws my son draws by means of the icons and has 14 years and has moments that he wants to solve some problem in what he is drawing and if he does not appear in the icons he paralyzes what he is doing, those of us who have a lot of time using the software know to which I refer, I do not criticize those who are handled by means of the icons and the truth is that we do not manage the program to the 100 by% but to the 25% and as much to the 35 / 40% this tool has a range of thing of great utility, elaborates more intelligent planes. With spreadsheets, calculations, to name something so I recommend you scrutinize more software and then comment, has and I think that the improvements should be made in the part of 3d there MicroStation is friendlier if you could say

  27. And because I have not read anything about how long civil3d 2012 takes to open, to perform every task that is put on it and the worst thing that if you have many windows, you can go to sleep for a while in what it loads ... With the technology that there is and the machines that ask to run the programs and this last civil 3d 2012 it just doesn't seem like I'm using autocad 13 for windows 3.11 for an eternity in each task ... hopefully and as they make so many improvements out of the drawing so fast as when autocad 14 for windows raffled! for it has been the best version, I don't know why they can't improve it… Thank you.

  28. If you want speed, I recommend you stop using autocad and try with Archicad, I just change and despite being a novice, in archicad and expert in autocad, I stay with file for speed and friendliness, so that comment the drawing in 3D, Be impressed, it's like a professional sketchup, regards.

  29. Does anyone know how horizontal and vertical scroll bars are displayed in autocad 2013? I am using it for the first time and I cannot move on the screen because the bars do not appear….

  30. Hi Claudia.
    What I think is that the new generations, if they are not given a course like you do, will neglect the keyboard, especially in 3D work where the commands are nested in a tab, something that could not be done before. The practice of one hand on the mouse, and the other on the keyboard is of oral transmission, a user who learns alone, in an online course or in a "classic" course without having an instructor who knows the advantage, will not appropriate it .
    Obviously, if we put two technicians at the same time making a flat of a house, both with equal experience, the one that uses the keyboard will do it faster.
    Although the exercise would not work if they were using a vertical version, such as Civil3D or an architectural 3D modeling.

  31. I teach AutoCAD, my students show them both ways of doing things: icons and commands. Invariably they end up choosing to work with one hand on the keyboard with aliases and the other hand on the mouse. They come out quite skilled, in particular I am very demanding with the way of working, that I work clean, precise, well and fast. I have hired several for urgent jobs, and the people who dominate the program and work with speed, always work with the abbreviated commands, some do not use a single command bar, let alone the ribbon.
    I have found no one in practice to draw fast and well based bit of icons. A lot of time is lost in scrolling, even if the scrolling is minimal (it really is not 5 cm that the mouse moves to cross the screen).
    So that the keyboard will fall into disuse will perhaps be for those who do not have the need to work competitively.

  32. I think that sometimes we demand a tool, forgetting that it has come to solve the work that we used to do from the drawing board.
    But I think that also the comparison with the routines that make other applications of the competition makes us think that the advance of AutoCAD is somewhat slow, to give an example the 3D modeling.

  33. It is the first time that I enter a forum, my name is Luis and I have the ACP AUTODESK certification, a lot of experience with the management of the software; I use not only AutoCAD since its version 10 but also Land, Map, Civil among others ... just imagine ... The best thing that was done at that time was the introduction of version 14 ... and then version 2000 (the obligation of the name by the new millennium appears Windows 2000, office 2000 etc) from here AutoCAD begins its 4-digit denomination, although for those in the know we know that the odd versions of AutoCAD were the worst reason why 2000, which should have been 15, started badly than Autodesk immediately corrected certain aspects and the 2000 i version appeared and from here there were no more changes in form than in background.
    Regarding the use of the keyboard, it is very important in clear AutoCAD that we optimize time if we use both keyboard and mouse simultaneously when drawing, well if we use a mouse designed and programmed with functions for AutoCAD.

  34. Dear Stephanie

    This is how we humans are, personal tastes often lead us to criticism that is often not very productive. But that's what this space is for, to discuss new features and question constraints. Most things that AutoCAD does, came like this, from the questioning of the users to wait for the existing thing to improve.

    Greetings.

  35. Thanks for the info. Although I must say that his sarcastic ecritura is very annoying for a subject that does not merit it. Those of us who use the program know that they lack things to improve but that since it came out it was a wonderful invention or ask them to draw by hand.
    Regarding the commands, I think that most of us want to learn all the commands to be able to work with the "model space" as cleanly as possible and as quickly as possible. Greetings to all fellow loads that use Auto CAD! =)

  36. Very good and very useful, I leave this web that has tutorials of Autocad and Revit 2013 tutorials all free.

    Improveyourwork.blogspot.com
    There are many videos

    regards

  37. Jajaj laughs at the retrograde phrases and the fright that gives them to release the keyboard, CLARO¡i if with luck they turn on the computers and / or check the mail.

    I think they have been behind in much more ways to modernize, we should have already released the keyboard and mouse, using multi touch screens with tools much more versatile and manageable especially for the architecture and design environment.

    If I rescue what the new versions say their advances are few and almost null.

    Sl2 a PC Architect

  38. I am an architecture student, at the university where I am, they demand that we modernize with respect to the programs we use to design !! and I've worked from autodesk 2004 to 2012,
    And regardless of the improvements of interfaces and tools of work, one of the best work options is the keyboard, it is true that you must have enough skill and experience, the simple fact of running the mause removes an infinite amount of time, I think Is a solution only for people who have experience with the keyboard, new generations are accustomed to nothing more than icons!

  39. I would like you to send me the new autocad verifications as well as more efficient ways of using the tools for the time being.

  40. !!! I really don't know if those of us who are here are very backward! or the man without keyboard is very advanced !! I have tried the new autocad after forcing myself to do it in 2012, which for me is actually a torment in practice! for me I would stay in 2004 or 2006 maximum! when I could work in 3d without so much paperwork to damage the shade on the screen and things like that ... I think we all know that this is a business and since the 2007 version they no longer know what to do with the program which does not evolve at all significant ... they intend to make it word type that anyone can enter and can use it and that does not exist..it has taken all of us some time to master it so that a beginner comes and tells us that in his life he must have done a project against the time that the keyboard it is obsolete ... incredible!

  41. DEFINITELY NEW AUTOCAD USERS SHOULD NOT FIND THE KEYBOARD "COMFORTABLE" AND EFFICIENT, THEY ARE BARELY KNOWING THE PROGRAM AND IGNORATE THE TIME YOU GAIN BY "TYPED" A LETTER AND ENTER WITH THE SPACEBAR WITHOUT HAVING TO MOVE THE MOUSE TO LOOK FOR AN ICON THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY APPEAR MORE AND MORE ON THE SCREEN, SOMETIMES ARE USELESS AND WHAT THEY DO IS TAKE UP SPACE ON THE SCREEN.
    NO DOUBT ANY CHANGES IN AUTOCAD HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTS AND EVERY TIME BETTER (ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO WORKED FROM THE R12) THE INTERFACE HAS BEEN IMPROVED AND ESPECIALLY THE HANDLING OF THE MEMORY (ALTHOUGH WITH THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE CURRENT PCs ANY PROGRAM CAN RUN FREELY, i7, 16GbRAM, VIDEO4Gb, ETC).
    … I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SCREEN OF ONE OF THE FRIENDS WHO SAY THAT THE USE OF THE KEYBOARD IS OBSOLETE IF THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CIVIL3D, FOR EXAMPLE… THERE IS NO SPACE ON THE SCREEN BUT FOR THE CIVIL'S OWN ICONS + ALL THE ICONS IMAGE MUST USE FROM AUTOCAD!
    GREETINGS TO ALL!

  42. Well, you must do, save as and choose the vérsión that your client requires. Or if not, use the true converter of Autodesk, is free and allows you to make conversions in different versions

  43. HELLO,
    I WAS MAKING A DRAWINGS IN 2013 AUTOCAD BUT WHEN THEY ARE SENT TO THE CUSTOMER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT OPEN WHY THEY HAVE A VERSION OF 2010 OR 2009, HOW DO I DO SO THAT YOU CAN OPEN THE DOCUMENT?

  44. Hello, someone can explain to me how I can configure the bounded in Autocad 2013. Thank you

  45. Well, greetings to all.
    The versions of Cad are good as long as they do not affect the performance of the work.
    What I don't think is too logical is to use a very modern version, simply because it is the "latest".
    I am one of those who thinks that programs, as long as they are compatible with others… throw miles.
    all the best

  46. The second question, is done with the blocks command, search the Internet and you will see that there are furniture already made in 3D or 2D only to insert them.
    Also AutoCAD brings the Design Center, where there are also blocks.

  47. hello everyone a taste, I would like to know how to cut the maya that is done with the extrusion to make a window in the autocad 2013

    The second I would like to know how I can add simple objects for a room, I explain, when I make a kitchen I would like to put the kitchen, furniture, table, chairs, etc.

    Thank you for answering me

    PS: I would like to be sent the information to the mail

  48. Hi. I would like to know: I have the 2013 coach for mac (It is in English) it is always saved in 2013 coach and I can't find how to configure it so that it is automatically saved in a previous version so as not to have to put it every time I save ... Since many sometimes I forget. In the Autocad for windows it was very easy to put it but in the one for mac there is no way to find this option ... Does anyone know something?
    Thank you

  49. Sirs! it is time for them to update, the keyboard is already out there is very prehistoric, do not be afraid to adapt to the new icons, with the keyboard apart from that you have to know all the shortcuts of the commands you have to have a lot of skill with the same and not to say in what language you have your Autocad, English is not the same as Spanish. I work with autocad from the R14 and I have updated to all the versions that have come out until today, since they left the toolbars was the best that could have been removed and now improved with the ribbons of options (previously called Ribbon ), the commands and icons are very, very useful and it's just a matter of adaptation and making your work space more comfortable for you, therefore these tapes is not only for beginners as many mention it but also for those who are agile with the mouse, there is very little that I use the keyboard is mostly to give values, I make plans very fast and I know the commands both in English because previously they came in this language and in Spanish that nowadays it is not even necessary to look for the program in this version but simply update the language and you're done. I know the shortcuts by keyboard, but that if the Autocad has so many commands that it is impossible to learn them all as well as use them, only the most important ones are used and that is why I recommend you to let go of that keyboard and to use the mouse is what better than there is.

  50. THE KEYBOARD ALREADY FOLLOWS FASTER FOR SOME COMMANDS, YOU MUST PROVIDE THE NEW AND EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE BY MAKING A PLAN

  51. definitively the use of the keyboard is very useful, the new versions are adapting "shortcuts" in the same commands, as in COPY, before in Acad2004 you had to write M later for multiple copies, but then that happened by default, the Ribbon style was It makes me interesting for new users, but for more advanced users it's annoying, at least I tried to use it in Acad2011 and I couldn't get used to it, it took me twice as long that week that I tried to use it.
    regards

  52. Setting dimension styles should not be too complicated

  53. Have you known how the disuse of the keyboard has evolved?
    Because if you had used it when I started using AutoCAD, you will know that each command was written (I use AutoCAD and I give classes from the R12 version). Little by little we use less the keyboard, and shortcuts are useful, but on the way you lose time when what you do is repetitive. Hence, many commands on the road were not used, as the Fence case for Trim, although it exists long ago, as only those who knew that it was necessary to put the letter F after the Fence command, stopped evolving by little use. Things like the entry of vectors via courses and distances is honestly archaic.
    Undoubtedly, those of us who learned before AutoCAD 2009, learned to use the keyboard with shortcuts and the scape key with great skill. But my question is that much of this can be improved with contextual menus.

  54. Archaic use of the keyboard? you see that you have never used autocad, working only with the keyboard is the wonder and what makes time optimal

  55. I don't think that handling commands through the keyboard can become archaic, it is very practical and saves time than doing it with the "mouse" for example doing "zomm" "Extents"
    z enter e enter (doesn't take a second) and then to point to “E” with the “mouse”
    I think that you should see the way with a command or double click on the abbreviated command file (the custom) can be loaded or downloaded quickly

  56. If you want speed to make plans, it is best to set the keyboard to one letter per command and two when it is repeated (it is about saving time), use the space bar as enter. The icons are used by beginners, or they only use autocad to review a piece of information, or those who stayed used and do not look for new ways.

  57. I do not understand, what is the need to complain to Autodesk about more drawing space if the use of key comanacion gives us access to commands that you can configure according to your needs from the command alias, now the drawing space can be attached to all the screen, in particular the novelties that you comment are all old of the previous versions, already to the poor thing and I do not find anything more resonant than the new format.

  58. I have Autocad 2012, in trial version and it cannot be installed on my PC. An error message appears for each product, AUTODESK & INVENTOR FUSION ...
    When you begin to install NetFramework 4.0 Runtime, it stops and the cover appears with ERROR messages.
    I did a course and I approved it very well and I want to learn more every day, but I regret not being able to install the program. I have an HP 610 1262, 8 Mb RAM, Intel 5i-
    I already signed up at beta.autodesk.com, but I don't understand how to be a “betatester”, yes g! Can you explain it to me, to be able to download Autocad 2013, maybe it won't give me problems...
    Thank you.

  59. Sign in to beta.autodesk.com and there they will give you the data. For those who participate as betatester accept certain rules when they are accepted and maintained as such.

  60. Good afternoon some of you have installed AutoCAD 2013 Beta RC. Would you please, can you give me the Product Key, which I need to be able to install it?

  61. Of course, it's one thing to use shortcuts:
    L + enter
    Z + enter + x + enter

    But before arriving at this, practically every command was written.

    However I consider that there are things of operating commands that can be simplified, especially when they are repetitive routines. For the case, write individual line text, you always have to be indicating the size and orientation, when it could be something more practical.

  62. 'Prehistoric use of the keyboard' is the use that is done today. It seems that no one notices the kilometers that are done on the screen,
    Simply by moving the mouse to go to the command (icon) and then return to where you are drawing. Not to mention the on-screen site that all the bars, tapes, etc. are all about.
    It takes space to draw, and teach people that you can work with both hands, with abbreviated commands, etc.

  63. Thanks for the information, but you can see that you do not know how useful it is to work on the keyboard and how fast you can draw, saving being clicking and looking for the icons to do something and not only in autocad but in all the programs, I say this from experience and also because I have seen many professionals who work with pure commands with the keyboard and their speed to draw is greater than someone who works only with the mouse and icons. Greetings.

  64. Autocad needs to boost the work in double line, in addition to an automatic intersection. Expand cutting tools, in short, develop the advanced work in 2d.

  65. Greetings:

    Certain modifications and autocad 2012 has them, regarding the comment of leaving the keyboard seems naive. every day it is more confusing to work in new interfaces, however the keyboard shortcuts always remain so it does not matter where the keyboard is always the wonder.
    I'm about to see what effects these new things have on the autocad architecture that is what I really use. thanks for the info

  66. Several of the tools that you point out that they are new, already had in versions 2012 and some in 2011, like the support with point clouds, and let alone the text color and transparency for the command line. Another command that is not new is Presspull. I think you are not so updated ...
