Subtle Snap Enhancement in AutoCAD 2012If you’re like me, SNAPMODE is one of those tools that you love to hate. Most times I don’t need it because I use Osnaps and direct distance entry to draw accurately. But sometimes being constrained to grid increments can come in handy. A subtle change to Snap behavior in AutoCAD 2012 lets you work more easily with Snaps turned on. Now, it only snaps to grid points when prompting to specify a point. So, for example, when you’re moving the cursor around the drawing area trying to select an object before a command is launched, grid snaps are ignored (no more having the cursor tease you as it jumps back and forth over the object)! But when you’re in a command that requires you to specify a point, such as drawing a line, grid snaps are honored.
I remember reading that that there is a variable setting for this. But I will be damm if I can find it.

Bunches of bug fixes, 2 new Sysvars that some will really appreciate:ARRAYCLASSIC - Creates copies of objects in a classic array.SNAPGRIDLEGACY - 0 - Always snap the cursor to grid. 1 - Only snap cursor to grid when AutoCAD prompts to specify a point
Yay!( Why does the service pack always come out right after I install the product?! )

I love this command line autocomplete feature in 2012.
Plus Commands in AutoCAD2012Autodesk has expanded the way commands work by having users type a + in front of the command. For example, if you type +OPTIONS, you enter an integer. +SaveAs allows you to save to different file formats in addition to a new file name. To get the list of all the new + commands, simply type + in the display window and the new Autofill will display all the commands. As to how useful this is, well, it isn't a minus.
