\nI love it when customers share their designs! AutoCAD is such a powerful tool and the way our customers use it to create innovative designs is mind blowing.<\/p>\n
\nPURGE. It\u2019s so critical to get rid of the excess data so we can work on clean, accurate drawings.<\/p>\n![\"Rajeshree](\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Rajeshree-Dembla-AutoCAD-Team-3_tzen9h-300x300.jpg?cld_params=h_300,w_300\")
Do you have a favorite AutoCAD feature?<\/strong>
\nIn AutoCAD for Mac we have invested a lot of effort into user experience, and specifically the user interface. One of my favorite features being able to fully customize Advanced Toolsets. I also really like the new split screen feature, so you can have multiple instances of AutoCAD for Mac running side by side.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s a tough one, but I\u2019d say the new modern UI in AutoCAD for Mac. It\u2019s intuitive, responsive, and gives users the flexibility to customize their AutoCAD screen per their needs.<\/p>\n
\nAutoCAD is a professional tool used by millions of people. The thought that I\u2019m able to help so many customers and make a positive change to their workflow is what motivates me immensely.<\/p>\n
\nI was at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco barbecuing with my friends on a Saturday when a bunch of people walked towards me and asked if I work for Autodesk. My Autodesk hoodie is what gave it away. They were architecture students who were learning to use AutoCAD and Revit in school. It was amazing to hear stories about their designs and product use. I also ended up inviting them to tour our gallery (which showcases our customer designs) the week after.<\/p>\n
\nI have friends who use AutoCAD on a daily basis and they\u2019re always trying to bribe me to build features that will help them. Those are funny conversations.<\/p>\n
\nThe Bay Bridge in San Francisco. (It\u2019s also our view from the SF office!) When it\u2019s lit at night, it looks so magnificent.<\/p>\n
\nThe LISP commands that help users automate repetitive parts of their process. I wish more users leveraged this to save time.<\/p>\n
