The best way to see and understand some of these features is to watch them in action. With this tech, it becomes much easier to draw accurate circles and ellipses in relationship to other drawn geometry. Product designers wanted better ellipses and circle tools when drawing in perspective, features that also came over from the desktop version. This technology is scalable meaning that you can dial in just the right amount of correction to your free hand strokes, improving curves beautifully and when needed making straight lines straight. This technology knows when you want some help in making your lines straight. Also, helping artists along is Predictive Stroke, which is a popular feature that has come on over from the desktop version. This helps with perfect symmetry on these types of designs. Radial symmetry guides help users draw things like watches or automobile wheels or other radial objects with divisions up to 16 sectors. The head’s up display (HUD) main marking menu makes smart work of accessing common or recently used tools, or what Autodesk is calling a “kind of automatic muscle memory selection” for the tools you used most. In total there are now over 170 customizable brushes. There are also new default brush sets, including texture brushes. It’s called Rapid UI Mode, and Autodesk says it is designed to keep you “deep in the flow of drawing” and not lost in nested menu structures. This latest release begins with a whole new way of accessing full menus in full-screen mode.
