AutoCAD 2009 Subscription Tools

Autodesk has released a Bonus Pack filled with goodies from the AUGI wishlist.  These enhancements and goodies are available to current subscription customers using base AutoCAD 2009. 

So what’s in it?

• Consolidated Inquiry tools.  With one command, MEASUREGEOM, you can get distance, area, volume, angle or radius.
• Additional tools in PEDIT and SPLINEDIT.  You now can convert a spline to a polyline and reverse the direction of a polyline with this tool. 
• Rotate a Viewport and View together.  There is a new system variable, VPROTATEASSOC.  When the variable is set to 1, rotating the viewport brings the view with it.   
• Updates to PURGE command.  You can use the new tool to purge empty text boxes and zero-length geometry.

Download them from the Autodesk Subscription Center.  Login is required.  If you are not sure how to log in, contact your CAD manager or I.T. contact to see if a subscription account has been set up for you.
