AutoCAD 2020 released: New dark theme brings clarity

After 3 months of internal testing, on March 27, 2019, Autodesk officially released AutoCAD 2020. Just like the annual update, AutoCAD 2020 still brings some new features and improve performance. Let’s take a look at the new AutoCAD 2020 content:

New dark theme brings clarity

AutoCAD 2020 and all the specialized toolsets have a fresh new look! The dark theme now has a modern dark blue interface that’s easy on the eyes. The new dark theme is designed to work with recent contrast improvements and sharper icons.

Performance improvements speed up work

With AutoCAD 2020:

  • Each time you save your work now takes just half a second—one whole second faster on average. This could save you hours of time each year. (In just one year, all AutoCAD users would save 80 work years collectively!)
  • In addition, install time is 50% faster for solid state hard drives.

Quickly display measurements at a glance

In AutoCAD 2020, measuring distances is faster than ever with the new Quick Measure tool, which measures 2D drawings simply by hovering your mouse. Dimensions, distances, and angles are dynamically displayed as you move your mouse over and between objects.
