AutoCAD 2013 increases your ability to create Inventor detail drawings in paper space. The Drawing View panel has been replaced with a entire tab called Layout. Located under this tab are numerous tools and functions to make detail drawing easier.
New Sectioning and Detail tools top the list of new functions. The Section tools are located on the Create View panel and contain tools to created most any section view required.
The Detail tools are found on the Create View tab as well.
Each tool has a Styles Manager where you can create and save section and detail definitions for later use. The drop down box allows for easy selection of the save style you wish to use in your drawing.
A view of the Section View Style Manager is shown below. If you have used Autocad dimension style manager before, you will feel right at home.
AutoCAD 2013 continues to support dynamically linked Inventor parts, assemblies and presentation files but now allows the creation of drawing views from AutoCAD 3D models located in model space of the same drawing.
As before, all Inventor and AutoCAD 3D models are linked to the drawings making it easy to keep the detail drawing current using the view update tools.
AutoCAD 2013 new functionality makes detailing efficient, accurate and down right fun!
Looks like you still can't reference views/details/secions between sheets?
ie.
Section A
Sheet 101
Am I the only person this really bothers?
