Latest Features of AutoCAD 2024 for Mac (Chinese Version)

Event Insights: Stay connected with project data throughout the lifecycle by tracking multi-user activities within DWG files. Activity logs provide detailed information on file changes and access, helping to bridge information gaps in collaborative workflows.

Smart Building Blocks: Replacement: Quickly locate and replace blocks using machine learning recommendations, recently used blocks, or manual selection, streamlining block management.

Smart Block: Placement: Automatically position and scale blocks in your drawings based on previous insertions within the DWG file, reducing clicks and saving time.

Tag Import and Tag Assist: Efficiently send and merge design feedback by importing comments from printed documents via mobile devices or PDFs. AutoCAD uses machine learning to interpret commands in tagged text, such as “MOVE,” “COPY,” or “DELETE,” and applies changes automatically.

Network Function: AutoCAD subscribers gain access to exclusive online features, including the AutoLISP API and batch conversion of drawings to PDF.
