There are four new major features in AutoCAD 2020. These are the following: Quick Measurement, Better DWG compare, Blocks palette and Better cloud workflow.
1. Quick Measurement Tool: The measure tool has been invaluable with any CAD user. For AutoCAD, this tool came fairly cumbersome before - you had to activate the tool with proper subselection, then click from point to point.
That remains the same, but now the default measurement tool is the new ‘Quick Measure’ which tells you the dimension of the nearest measurement to the cursor. It tracks distances along line segments, angles, distances between parallel lines and similar stuff. Very handy, as measure tools go! It is also the default tool for the MEASURE command now.
2. Improved DWG Comparisons: This tool was introduced last year to let users be aware of the exact changes made on local copies of the same drawing. It encircled and color coded each change as the user did them. This revisioning helps a ton in collaborating effects.
Now, the tool is even better and sharper! Now, you no need to make a new third drawing. All you have to do is to open any one of the drawing and point to the other drawing, and the current drawing will be updated with the color coded revision clouds. You can then either choose to save the changes or discard them. A handy new compare dwg toolbar will be visible while you do this.
