When importing a markup, AutoCAD will query the user if the alignment of the marked-up PDF or JPEG is acceptable and if not the user can adjust the alignment to get the best visual experience possible. Also on the Traces Panel is the all-new Markup Import command that allows the user to import a PDF or a JPEG as a trace for another convenient method of working on markups. Traces can be opened, renamed, or deleted all with a right click of the mouse. The traces can be given unique names to make them more trackable by collaborators and each trace is attributed to its author by the user’s name and an avatar if that user has provided one. Working on markups was a big part of my day-to-day when I was a production cad drafter so I’m a big fan of this updated feature, but it gets even better! Now a desktop user can collaborate on an existing trace or even create a new trace of their own with the Create Trace command found on the Traces Palette that can be accessed fittingly on the Collaborate Tab of the ribbon. The trace could then be viewed by a desktop AutoCAD user and design directives provided by the trace could then be acted upon. Trace was introduced to AutoCAD in version 2022 and was intended to provide an AutoCAD web app user a means to provide feedback, markups or comments on an AutoCAD drawing without disrupting the original drawing content by acting like a layer of tracing paper placed over the drawing. Let’s Trace back to AutoCAD 2022 for a minute.Floating drawing windows can be pinned to the location of the user’s choosing allowing that floating window to remain on top of the main AutoCAD application window and lastly, floating windows can be returned to their original File Tab location with a right-click over the floating window’s title bar. If drawing windows overlap, the active drawing window will display on top of inactive windows. The command window will jump to whichever floating window the user initializes with a left click. Now when an AutoCAD user moves one of their drawing windows to another monitor or simply away from its default tab position an anchored command window will accompany that drawing window. Floating Drawing Windows were introduced in AutoCAD version 2022 and were found to be a popular addition according to users of multiple monitors and they have been improved upon in AutoCAD 2023. Favorite command macros can even be saved to the ribbon for added convenience. If the users like the command macro, they can save it and add it to the Saved tab of their Command Macros palette. When the Command Macros palette is on display, users can view the macros that have been generated for them by AutoCAD on the Insights Tab and try them out to see if the macro can become a timesaving part of their workflow. A command macro contains a series of commands that are automatically generated by AutoCAD based on the users unique command usage.
