So while technically not a new feature, its inclusion on the Status bar may result in more users taking advantage of this capability. Since Lock UI was formerly only available by typing, many users didn’t even know it existed. When enabled, the Lock UI tool locks the interface, preventing users from moving these elements. Users are sometimes confused when they sit down at a shared workstation and discover that their favorite tool palettes or ribbon panels have been rearranged. AutoCAD has always been highly customizable, but that customizability can cause problems. The Isolate Objects and Lock UI (user interface) tools can now be added to the Status bar, and if the Status bar becomes too crowded, it automatically wraps onto a second row. But some tools were inadvertently left off last year’s Status bar. The new Start tab consolidates file access tasks in an easily accessible central location, and now displays persistently as part of the file tabs along the top of the drawing window.ĪutoCAD 2015 also featured many interface changes, including a redesigned Status bar that consolidated common tools into a single, easily customizable area in the lower-right corner of the screen, while the Model and Layout tabs were moved into the lower-left. You can click this tab to easily return to the Start tab at any time. But now, a Start tab also appears all the time at the top of the drawing area alongside the drawing file tabs. The Start tab is the first thing you see whenever you start AutoCAD 2016 and also displays whenever the program is running with no drawings open. The Create frame is displayed by default and serves as the launch pad for starting new drawings, opening existing drawings and accessing product updates while the Learn frame provides tools to help you learn the software. Like its predecessor, the Start tab contains two frames: Learn and Create. For AutoCAD 2016, this has been renamed the Start tab and has been made persistent. Last year, users were greeted by a new type of welcome screen called the New Tab. After all those years, what new features could Autodesk possibly add to its venerable flagship product? Quite a bit, actually. AutoCAD 2016 marks the 30 th major release of the world’s most popular CAD program. Yet here we are, 33 years later, and that small CAD program is still going. If have my written my own revcloud, see īut maybe it is somewhat 'over the top' -) and parts are intergrated with some of my other routines at work so it may no be 100% generic, but I hope despite all that it may be a source of inspiration / learning.In December 1982, a small startup company released a small CAD program. I used 50 but of course it can be 0 or 1, whatever you want. Thank youīefore you insert your rev block add : (command "pedit" (entlast) "W" 50 "")

Please also tell me where I went wrong or what iI need to add and why I do want to learn and not just use this as free lisp writing service. I added my lisp routine and the tag that it references.

I need to insert a "plinewid" Function into my lisp and am not sure how to do that while keeping a calligraphy rev cloud style. Where my problem exists is that I need to make the rev cloud line width thinner. I want to use my lisp command which allows me to pick objects. My new place of employment uses a lisp command for rev clouds however it is polyline based, by that I mean you are creating single polylines to create a rectangle. All works beautifully however I made this for my last place of employment. I have a "Revision Cloud" Lisp that makes a "rev cloud" and then inserts the revision tag.
