Procad’s Top 3 Tips On Autocad 2017

Procad’s Top 3 Tips On Autocad 2017

AutoCAD 2017 has so much more to offer. There are some genuine reasons to upgrade sooner rather than later. Between the improved performance, ease of use, and more powerful tools, it’s sure to impress. See for yourself in Procad’s top tips video clip below. These 3 new features alone will offer sufficient justification to upgrade today.

The first feature demonstrated shows how you can import the geometry, TrueType text, and raster images from a PDF file or underlay them into your drawing as Acad objects.

This way if you only have a PDF file available, you can incorporate the file into your design. For the first time, you can bring in text and geometry from your PDFs and use them as any other Acad object.

Another feature of AutoCAD is the 360 PRO, (included now with Autodesk subscription) allows you to take the power of AutoCAD wherever you go! You can now draft and edit from your phone, tablet or laptop at any time or whenever you’re on the move!

Have a peek at the new A360 share design view in which you can easily publish a document for sharing across multiple devices and platforms. This way you can collaborate and show others key aspects of your drawings and designs. They don’t even need AutoCAD just a web browser to view the drawings! With these new and enhanced features, you can be sure to get the most out of your designs!

Have a look at our short overview Video made by Damien here in ProCAD who loves working with AutoCAD 2017. There are more detailed videos on these and other features on the Procad Youtube channel now Symetri Ireland's Youtube channel
