My first impression is that AutoCAD 2005 doesn't offer alot to the 'guy in the trenches' - unless, he is need of organizing large numbers of sheets for distribution. Of course there are some other new tools - but let's see if you need to upgrade...

Check out my review - broken into sections:

• Set Sheets - an overview
• Changes in Plotting
• New Drafting Tools

This review is by no means complete, it is meant to give an overview of the release based on my personal observations.  I won’t cover everything, but hope to give you an overview that hopefully you’ll find informative and interesting and maybe save some of your valuable time. (Yes, a CAD Guy's time is valuable!)

If any of these features interest you, please do yourself a favour and check into them further, or e-mail me.

For the official version, please check out Autodesk’s website and check out their 2005 FAQ's.
