AutoCAD 2022 now enables you to drag a drawing away from the AutoCAD application window and float it anywhere on screen, including onto an additional monitor. In previous versions, you could select a tab to switch between open drawings or display each in its own window, but those windows remained within the main AutoCAD window. 4: The new Count tool tallies all blocks in a drawing and alert you of any issues, such as overlapping or exploded blocks.Įach open drawing appears with its own file tab. Counting objects in drawings with lots of unique block names can slow program performance.įig. Only visible blocks in model space are displayed in the Count palette and the Count tool does not support some objects, including text, hatches, 3D objects and external references. The count list also includes blocks that are nested within other blocks. The palette also includes a tool to insert a table containing the block names and corresponding count for each block in the drawing. A special icon alerts you to any issues related to the reported count, such as overlapping or exploded blocks. The totals update automatically as you modify the drawing.

When the Count toolbar is closed, the Count palette displays a tally of all the blocks in the drawing. Tools on that toolbar enable you to zoom to the next or previous instance of the object, display details of the count in a new Count palette, create a text field that is set to the current count value and close the Count toolbar. The program highlights all instances of the object and opens a Count toolbar that displays the number of instances. 3a: The Start screen in previous releases included a multi-page version.
