Snap Mode
When Snap Mode is on, the cursor no longer snaps to grid points when selecting objects, but does so only
when specifying points.
External Reference Enhancements
AutoCAD 2012 improves the ability to highlight and select externally referenced files. If you pass the
cursor over the edge of an attached image, DWF
TM
, or PDF file, a selection preview frame is displayed,
even when frames are turned off.
Similarly, passing the cursor over geometry inside an attached DWF, PDF, DGN, or DWG file displays a
selection preview frame. You can select the frame for any of the attached reference files to display a
frame boundary, with the ability to grip-edit a clipped boundary frame.
Interaction with the External References manager is enhanced to automatically display the frame when
you select a reference file from the list.
To support the frame selection behavior, a new FRAMESELECTION system variable is included in
AutoCAD 2012.
Autodesk Exchange–AutoCAD
With connected access to getting started videos, downloadable plug-ins, and help content, the Autodesk
®
Exchange feature brings the content you need directly to your AutoCAD workspace. Autodesk Exchange–
AutoCAD is first displayed when you start AutoCAD 2012. A toggle in the lower left corner of the window
allows you to disable it on startup but you can access it at any time from the Infocenter in the upper right
corner of the AutoCAD window. The Exchange button displays Autodesk Exchange with the Home tab
active, and the Help button displays it with the Help tab active.
