This is the software our
customers have asked for. More than 300 of the new or enhanced features began as wish-list
items submitted by the worldwide Autodesk® User Group International (AUGI®). The
AutoCAD® feature set has always been customer-driven, but this release sets a new
standard for customer input—and results.
AutoCAD
2000 addresses five fundamental customer needs:
Heads-up Design™
You'll boost workflow and efficiency through greater task automation, easy access to
reusable design data, and minimal reliance on keyboard commands. Features include Multiple
Design Environment™, AutoCAD® DesignCenter™, enhanced AutoSnap™ with
AutoTrack™, quick dimensioning (QDIM), 3D Orbit, Partial Open, Partial Load, and
In-Place Reference Editing.
Improved Usability and Access
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.
Streamlined Output
Numerous layout and plotting enhancements will help you clearly communicate design intent
and make stronger presentations in less time.
Expanded Reach
AutoCAD 2000 takes full advantage of the Internet so you can unite extended design teams,
securely and cost-effectively share data, and link resources to drawings.
Greater Customization and Extensibility
Now virtually anyone can program virtually anything with a choice of robust tools that
includes new Visual LISP™ integrated development environment.
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.
In Summary
With AutoCAD 2000 you move to the next level of design productivity because it integrates
the most sought-after features within a more intuitive, more accessible, and more flexible
design environment.
AutoCAD 2000 is Where
Design Connects™. |
