Pressing F12 (or clicking a new DYN button on AutoCAD’s status bar) toggles dynamic input on and off, but we think most users will quickly find this new way of working to be an incredible boon to productivity. You can control how and when the dynamic input fields appear, such as switching between Cartesian or polar coordinate input and changing the size and transparency of the dynamic prompts.

When commands offer multiple options, pressing the down-arrow key displays a drop-down list of those options right at the cursor location. For example, to draw a line, you can select a starting point, drag the cursor a bit, type a distance value, press TAB to switch to the angle field, and then type the angle value, all without ever taking your eyes off the drawing. But perhaps the single most useful enhancement is something Autodesk is calling dynamic input.Īs you draw, the command prompt appears adjacent to the cursor, and you can dynamically view dimension values, such as length and angle, and type values into dynamic input edit boxes. Heads-up designĪnyone who ever thought that it would be difficult to add significant new functionality into a 20+ year old CAD product like AutoCAD will be very surprised at the many improvements and new features Autodesk has come up with.

So anything that improves 2D drafting is a big deal. Although a large percentage of users have moved to three-dimensional solid modelling – using products such as Autodesk Inventor – millions continue to create 2D drawings using AutoCAD. If there is an overriding theme to the new release, it’s a focus on improving the productivity of users doing many of the everyday tasks of two-dimensional drafting.

Disable this option and/or download local copies of the file(s) and check whether they open correctly. Some storage solutions offer on-demand access. If cloud storage is where the error comes from, reinstall the cloud drive. Verify that the file storage location is working properly.Test opening the file in a different location, such as the local hard disk, to rule out network or cloud storage issues.If you see the error message in conjunction with crashing of AutoCAD products in the Collaboration for Civil 3D workflow, see Desktop Connector shuts down and Civil 3D crashes as a result.Find a backup or auto-save copy of the file (see Understanding backup and autosave files in AutoCAD).If the first few rows are consistently different in format, this indicates irrevocable corruption, improper conversion, or wrong file type.

Check the file in a text editor such as Notepad and compare to a known-working drawing.Open files created in non-AutoCAD (third-party) applications in the native product and export to AutoCAD DWG format, if available.Open the drawing file directly instead of using the shortcut in the Recent Documents menu.If the file can be opened anywhere, save it to a previous file format.See: Optimizing drawing files in AutoCAD with Purge, Audit & Recover.
