      AutoCAD 2022 vs. previous releases

      AutoCAD has a flexible subscription model, with new features available with each release and product update. If you have a perpetual licence of AutoCAD 2016 or earlier, here’s what’s changed in AutoCAD 2017, AutoCAD 2018, AutoCAD 2019, AutoCAD 2020, AutoCAD 2021 and AutoCAD 2022.

      AutoCAD 2022

      What's included:

      • AutoCAD on the web : View, create and edit AutoCAD drawings from any computer with no software install required.*
      • AutoCAD on mobile : View, create and edit AutoCAD drawings via iOS and Android devices.
      • Integrated workflows: Work smoothly across desktop, web and mobile devices.*
      • Cloud storage connectivity: Access any DWG file in AutoCAD with Autodesk’s cloud, as well as with leading cloud storage providers.

      Top new features added since 2016 include:

      • Trace: Safely review and add feedback directly to a DWG file without altering the existing drawing.
      • Count: Automate counting blocks or geometry with the COUNT command.
      • Share: Send a controlled copy of your drawing to teammates and colleagues to access wherever they are.
      • Push to Autodesk Docs: Push your CAD drawing sheets as PDFs to Autodesk Docs from AutoCAD.
      • Drawing history: See changes made to your drawing over time.
      • Xref compare: Compare two versions of an external Xref and implement changes without leaving your current drawing.
      • Blocks palette: Insert blocks efficiently from the Libraries tab on desktop or in the AutoCAD web app.
      • Quick measure: Quickly display all nearby measurements including areas and perimeters in a drawing by hovering your mouse.
      • Trim and extend (enhanced): The default Quick mode now automatically selects all potential boundaries.
      • Purge (re-designed): Remove multiple unneeded objects with easy selection and object preview.
      • DWG™ compare: Compare two versions of a drawing or Xref without leaving your current window.
      • Attach/extract point cloud data: Attach point cloud files acquired by 3D laser scanners or other technologies.
      • PDF import: Import geometry (SHX font files, fills, raster images and TrueType text) into a drawing from a PDF.
      • AutoCAD any time, anywhere: Access AutoCAD from your desktop, web and mobile devices.*
      • Save to web and mobile: Save drawings and their associated Xrefs from your desktop to view and edit in the AutoCAD web and mobile apps.
      • New views and viewports: Easily add saved views to your layouts.
