Free navigational tool for AutoCAD

18th September 2008

Autodesk Labs offered users of AutoCAD a convenient tool of navigation named Navigation Bonus Tool. This tool can be used with AutoCAD versions 2008 and 2009 and offers a unique analog of buttons “forward” and “back”, which can be found in UI of any web-browser.
It should be noted that not Navigation Bonus Tool does not allow canceling or re-applying changes made by a user, and only illustrates the result of these changes.
The program remembers the following user`s actions:
Switching between active drawings;
Switching between the layouts;
Image panning, scaling, etc.
Switching between active windows of viewing projection.
For quick access to these functions the AutoCAD instrumental panel is added with the corresponding buttons. The commands “forward” and “back” can also be assigned to the mouse buttons or called through the certain key-combinations.
