Billions of Points

AutoCAD 2012 allows users to more easily create 3D models of existing buildings and objects with laser scanners, by supporting up to 2 billion scan points in a drawing.

Materials Browsing Made Easier

Updated materials swatches and better organization of the library make it easier for users to work with materials and textures.

Create Standard Deployment

The deployment tools for AutoCAD 2012 allow administrators to specify target platforms and logging features.

UCS Manipulation

The UCS icon of AutoCAD 2012 (at front wheel) can be directly manipulated, its menu can be customized and its behavior modified.

Array by Path

AutoCAD 2012 allows users to array objects along a specified path, such as the one shown here.

One-Stop Installation

The AutoCAD 2012 package includes Autodesk Inventor Fusion; installation will search for available service packs and apply them during the installation.

P. J. Connolly began writing for IT publications in 1997 and has a lengthy track record in both news and reviews. Since then, he's built two test labs from scratch and earned a reputation as the nicest skeptic you'll ever meet. Before taking up journalism, P. J. was an IT manager and consultant in San Francisco with a knack for networking the Apple Macintosh, and his love for technology is exceeded only by his contempt for the flavor of the month.
