Layers are now sorted using a natural ordered sort (yah!) This means instead of 1, 11, 2, 25 the layers will be sorted 1, 2, 11, 25. This includes an Inspection badge when performing inquiry operations and a rotation badge in the direction of rotation set by the Drawing Units. The cursor is enhanced to display “ badges” to show the state of the current operation. With AutoCAD 2015 you can click and drag in the drawing window to create a lasso selection around objects.

New variable LINESMOOTHING enables you to turn on anti-aliasing of drawings in viewports (with 2D wireframe) to make 2D objects look smoother.

The Help will now directly display an animated arrow in the UI showing the exact location of the tool.For example: Trim, extend, match properties, and others now preview potential changes, meaning you can see the impact before committing. Enhanced visual feedback when creating and editing objects.Ribbon galleries preview content from within the ribbon.When starting AutoCAD you’ll notice a New Create Page to create new and open existing drawings.Other UI improvement (not everything, but some of the highlights): Now don’t panic if you don’t like it, you can switch back to a more traditional lighter theme if desired. The darker look is, and maybe this is a bit extreme but, sexy! With the darker look, things pop and its easier on the eyes. My first thought was Photoshop and the Adobe Products, but I quickly realized that I LOVE IT! I hope all the Autodesk products go to this theme. The UI is darker and very modern looking. The User Interface (UI) is dramatically different! Not from a usability standpoint like the introduction of the Ribbon or Dynamic Input, but from an appearance and overall look and feel.
