Start Tab
The new AutoCAD Start tab lets you easily access files and other helpful content directly from the home screen.
Sort and Search
To sort on the grid view, select an option from the Sort By drop-down list. To reverse the sort order, click the arrow next to the drop-down list.
To sort on the list view, hover over a column label to display the sort arrow. Click the arrow in the label area of the column that you want to sort by. To reverse the sort, click the arrow again.
Note: Pinned drawings always appear at the top of the sorted lists.
In either view, type any portion of a file name or path in the search box. The drawing list is filtered in real time.
Customising the List View
In the list view, you can customise the column headings by clicking settings. Name and Pinned are persistent columns.
Other changes on the Recent tab include the following:
The pin now appears in the upper left corner when you hover over a drawing thumbnail.
The open menu icon displays when you hover over a drawing thumbnail. Click to display the options on the menu.
You can right-click on any thumbnail on the start up screen to open the same options.
