Autocad 2011 makes an appearance...

In Japan, that is.

Roughly translated with Google Translate:
"Autodesk February 19, 2010, CAD software new version of "AutoCAD 2011" "AutoCAD LT 2011" was released. Enhanced drawing capabilities both enhance user efficiency. 3D design capabilities of AutoCAD 2011 with the features of the object to model the free surface (surface modeling) and with. Windows 7 also supports the 64 bit versions. March 19 to begin shipping Sun.

AutoCAD is a 2D/3D, AutoCAD LT is a 2D CAD software. Products that are common to both 2D features of the drawing, "that enhance the user based on the wish list of the Committee" (Takahiro Shimizu's company). For example, where only the ability to display readability in the current design. From the drawings, and selected objects, only objects similar displays that you can edit it. Improved features of the hatching and fill particular places become available, such as place a transparent process to fill. AutoCAD is also about to set and automatically infer the location of the shape of the multiple relationships soft "constraints guess" that add features.

Surface modeling capabilities of AutoCAD was like surface can design complex shapes freely. 3D coordinate data derived from large amounts of laser surveying equipment (groups data points) can also load.

AutoCAD 2011 price is ¥ 614,250, AutoCAD LT 2011 is ¥ 199,500. AutoCAD LT 2011, the service pack is bundled with the maintenance of ¥ 232,050 a year contract."


Of course, good luck finding any information about the US release. I did find that books for Autocad 2011 and LT 2011 won't be coming out until June, but that doesn't mean the software won't be here sooner. Product refresh for Autodesk has occurred in March, so I would expect the same to hold true this year.
