ACA 2015 new features

[Oilymo]

Dear All,

I've just downloaded my shiny new copy of ACA 2015.  Can anyone point me in the direction of the new features, in particular the maps.  Are the maps licenced for use on my drawings?

Kind regards

Ben

We were told last week by the Dev Team that yes, the Bing images are fully licensed for archiving, distribution, etc.

Of course you might want to read the fine print (in the Terms of Service to which you must agree) for any exceptions.

rkmcswain,

Thanks for the prompt response.  I heard about the maps some time ago but cannot find them on my Acad 360 account.  I don't think they'll be of any use to us as we need detail maps to scale (OS master maps) but it's worth a look

Thanks

They are not accessed/downloaded by you from Autodesk 360, you have to use the AutoCAD 2015 command to get the map data.

In Plain AutoCAD, so hopefully you can follow along: INSERT tab, Set Location Panel to the far right, click on it then select FROM MAP. You should get prompted to log-into Autodesk 360 and click OK to access Online Map Data.
Then enter your location, click the Next button and continue as you wish. Note that the map is embedded into your drawng so logging in or out of Autodsek360 won't affect it.
