2013

When you save a drawing containing 3D Solids in the new AutoCAD 2013 file format, a graphics cache

file is automatically stored in a folder named “GraphicsCache” under your user app data folder. Two new

system variables, CACHEMAXTOTALSIZE and CACHEMAXFILES, enable you manage the cache files.

Customization

Double-click Actions

In the Customize User Interface dialog box, the double-click action for dimension objects has been

updated to launch TEXTEDIT rather than the alias TEDIT.

Autodesk Exchange Apps

Autodesk Exchange is updated to provide direct access to downloadable applications and content that

can help increase your productivity and the power of AutoCAD. You can choose from a wide variety of

tools; some licensed for free and some for a fee. Access Autodesk Exchange from the Exchange button

on InfoCenter and the Welcome screen.

One of the many downloadable AutoCAD apps actually installs a Featured Apps ribbon tab.

The Featured Apps ribbon tab is a dynamic panel that displays apps and content that will help you work

more productively. Roll over an app tile to see its description, and click to visit its page on Exchange

Apps. Choose Connect to Exchange to access hundreds of additional AutoCAD extensions and tools from

Autodesk Exchange.
