The company’s overlay for AutoCAD 2000 is designed to add to the program’s productivity. One key feature is the real-time 3-D orbit feature to rotate furniture and equipment assets using the mouse. This increased reliance on right-click mouse functions allows the designer to keep his/her eyes on the design, rather than the keyboard. Another advance is the Properties Window which allows the user to modify properties of an object in the drawing quickly, as well as new editing methods for common object properties such as lineweight and plot style.
