If you have installed the first release of AutoCAD 2011 Update 1!

On August 23, 2010, Autodesk released Update 1 for AutoCAD 2011. Unfortunately, Update 1 introduced an issue when conducting certain operations that may cause AutoCAD to shut down. This issue affects a small number of users.

We have removed Update 1 and will reintroduce it in the near future when the issue has been resolved. For customers who have already installed Update 1, a Hotfix will be posted shortly. Please be assured that Autodesk is wholly committed to the quality of AutoCAD, and regrets this error.

Navigation Bar

A new Navigation Bar replaces the Navigation tools that were previously available on the Status Bar. This new Bar resides on the right side of the screen by default and includes Autodesk SteeringWheels, ViewCube, ShowMotion, Pan, Zoom and Orbit.

Object Creation

Need to draw an object with the same Type and Properties as an existing one?

Use the new Add Selected tool to get the job done in no time. For example, select a existing Polyline > Right Click > pick Add Selected from the flyout menu and AutoCAD is ready to create another Polyline with the same Properties.

Show a Document Revision and Lifecycle State in Inventor Browser

Within the Inventor Vault Browser we can tell a lot about a files status with regards to whether it is checked in or out, whether you have the latest version an older version or a newer version. You can also turn on some extra information if you are using Document Release in either Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration or Vault Professional.

Vault Explorer Custom Filters

You can define Custom Filters on a Folder View within Vault, when applied these selections apply to the Current View.

You can use a Filter to return only the data you need from the Server, limiting the number of files in your view, increasing performance.

• Browse to the Folder that you require in Vault, then go to View > Cutomize View.
