Starting today, both AutoCAD 2025 for Mac and AutoCAD LT 2025 for Mac are officially released for users. These versions come equipped with an array of exciting features designed to enhance drafting, design, and construction processes, making it easier to bring any project to life.
New Language Support for AutoCAD for Mac Users
Great news! Following the successful addition of German and Japanese language support in the previous year, AutoCAD for Mac has expanded its accessibility to include Korean. To select your preferred language, navigate to the Application Preferences dialog, choose Korean, and restart AutoCAD for Mac to apply the changes.
Intuitive Dark Theme for Enhanced User Experience
The user interface has received a refreshing update with a modern dark blue theme, tailored specifically to enhance visual clarity. This new design aims to provide optimum contrast without distracting from the main drawing area. Users have reported that the new dark theme significantly reduces eye strain, creating a more comfortable experience for extended use.
Quick Measure Tool for Efficient Measurements
The Quick Measure tool has been introduced to streamline the process of measuring distances. Now, users can achieve measurements without laborious manual setups. By simply hovering your mouse over a 2D drawing, dimensions, distances, and angles appear dynamically. This speeds up workflows and allows for real-time decision-making.
Enhanced Blocks Palette for Seamless Block Insertion
The introduction of the new Blocks palette simplifies the process of inserting blocks into drawings. With a visual gallery and filtering options, users can readily find the exact blocks they need. This innovative system enables users to drag and drop blocks directly into their drawings or select from Recent, Current Drawing, or Favorites tabs, thus optimizing efficiency and reducing unnecessary steps.
Upgraded DWG Compare for Drawing Revisions
The DWG Compare feature has been enhanced based on user feedback. Now, users can compare different versions of a drawing seamlessly within the same window. This allows for real-time editing while simultaneously highlighting changes made to the drawings. The new DWG Compare toolbar makes toggling between comparisons quick and straightforward.
Rollover Tooltips for Instant Property Insights
Rollover tooltips have been implemented to provide immediate feedback on object properties. When users hover over an object, the tooltip displays essential information such as color, layer, and block name. This feature is particularly useful for the Drawing Compare utility, allowing users to easily identify differences between drawings without additional clicks.
