กับการตั้งค่าต่างๆ การใช้ Paper space ที่คนไม่เคยรู้จัก และงง งง กับมัน สุดท้ายก็ใช้งานใน
Model space แทน
ระบบใหม่ของ TILEMODE ที่สามารถตั้งค่าแล้วให้เปลี่ยนเป็น Paper space ได้ , where Viewports are entities that display views into "model space" rather than being simple partitions of the display graphics area. The paper space mechanism adds the following capabilities to AutoCAD:
สามารถกำหนดรูปชิ้นงานในหลายๆมองมุมเพื่อพิมพ์งานได้
การเพิ่ม Title block การพิมพ์ข้อความอักษร
Viewport-specific layer visibility.
Network support features
A new file-locking system prevents more than one AutoCAD session from accessing the same file when it would be possible to corrupt data or crash one or more AutoCAD sessions as a result.
Network server authorization allows the installation of a single copy of AutoCAD on a network server. The number of users specified at the time of purchase can execute AutoCAD on the network server. The maximum number of concurrent users can be increased through the purchase of a larger license count, for which an authorization code for the larger limit is issued. This "floating license" does not apply to versions of AutoCAD using workstation authorization codes or hardware locks.
A pair of new system environment variables named -ACADPLCMD and ACADPPCMD, in conjunction with the "AUTOSPOOL" default plot filename, now allows the -AutoCAD PLOT and PRPLOT commands to invoke plot-spooling programs.
A personalization step has been added to the installation. This step allows two lines of ASCII text to be added to the executable program file. This text is displayed in the Main menu banner (or the equivalent) when AutoCAD is invoked. The labels for the strings are "Licensed to:" and "Obtained from:". You can't change these strings after installation is complete.
