AutoTrack, quick dimensioning (QDIM), 3D Orbit, Partial Open, Partial Load, and
In-Place Reference Editing.

The software more closely reflects the way you work; its powerful technology is nearly
transparent to the design process. And of course it's Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows
NT logo compliant. Features include the Properties window and pervasive, context-sensitive
shortcut menus.

Numerous layout and plotting enhancements will help you clearly communicate design intent
and make stronger presentations in less time.

And its powerful technology framework, with a 3D graphics
pipeline and now fully object-oriented, results in the fastest AutoCAD software ever and
provides a solid foundation for future development.
