Several new features and enhancements are available in version 420. The current release also advances integration of geospatial data into increasingly broad sets of established CAD workflows. For example, newly added capabilities extend beyond geometric entities in AutoCAD and encompass Civil 3D COGO points. Additionally, processes native to Autodesk products for setting geographic location can now be used. These and other key features included in version 420 of ArcGIS for AutoCAD are highlighted in the video and listings below.<\/p>\n
