AutoCAD 2012

[#1]

I tried the AutoCAD 2012 as soon as I got the news and download, but quickly I found there is something I used frequently before is gone now. the DSVIEWER command, which also known as areial view, so I can view large drawing on dual monitor.

I also confirmed it on worldcadaccess.com, he mentioned about it.

why did you guys eliminate this useful things? any reason? or alternative method?

[#2]

It will be interesting to have Autodesk answer on that, because it was a useful feature.

[#3]

Dead and gone. As is BLIPMODE and the DOS-carrry-over side menu.

[#4]

I think the OP knows it's gone. The question was WHY? 

[#5]

I haven't received mine yet, but I have to know...Did they do away with the pulldown menus?? I sure hope not. I guess I'll have to get used to the ribbon if they did....

Pull-downs are still there, but I doubt they were updated....

Never been a fan of the Ribbon, but the majority of that was because it was so slow - well, that has been fixed in 2012.

Fortunately, I still key in about 90% of everything so I can tolerate the Ribbon - because someday the pull-downs and toolbars may go the way of the screen menu....

Ye, that's exactly. I know its gone, but I hope to know why?

Thanks rkmcswain. I don't care if they aren't updated, just as long as I still have the option of using them. I am looking forward to trying the new "faster" ribbon. I'm used to the Revit ribbon, 'cause that's how I learned it.

Dean, if you don't know the answer, please don't make something up, state it as fact and hope it's right. It's really not a good look.

> Dead and gone. As is BLIPMODE and the DOS-carrry-over side menu.

They're deprecated and hidden, but still all there. They just need a little digging to unearth:

REDEFINE DSVIEWER

DSVIEWER

REDEFINE SCREENMENU

SCREENMENU 1

REDEFINE BLIPMODE

BLIPMODE 1

How many releases they remain there is anybody's guess.

I did not realize they were just undefined: thanks for the info, delivered with your emaculate charm as usual
