New and/or Improved Features in AutoCAD 2022:

• Installer–The new Installer reduces the number of steps required for the initial install, improving performance.
• Floating Drawing Tabs–Drag a drawing file tab from the main application window to make it a separate drawing file window and have several drawings open at once. This is particularly useful if you have two or more monitors.
• Shared Views–Store your designs in the Cloud for other users to view, measure, and exchange feedback.
• Share Current Drawing–Share a link to your drawing file and others can view or edit that drawing in AutoCAD’s online application.
• Trace–Turn this on so that collaborators can work together on drawing changes without altering the existing drawing.
• Redesigned Start Tab–Take advantage of easier access to recent work and saved drawing files from connected drives, as well as learning resources and announcements from Autodesk.
