Reincarnated Drawing Cleanup Utility Now Available on Autodesk Labs

Fotolia_3166513_s430_2

You asked for it. We listened. Autodesk Labs works like that. Technical Consulting Manager, Chris Nailer, reports that an updated Drawing Cleanup Utility is available. The previous one ceased operation on November 30, 2007. We are happy to share the new one with you via Autodesk Labs.

Drawing Cleanup for AutoCAD

Changes to the Drawing Cleanup Utility in this version include:

  • There is one common installer for 2007 or 2008 product platforms. Previously we had separate installers. This makes the download size smaller and provides greater flexibility when installing.
  • Safecast licensing has been incorporated to the utility. This build provides a 60 day trial evaluation period from the date of installation. When the trial period expires, a message is displayed to the user to inquire if he/she has further interest in the utility and requests that the user email DCUEnquiryTeam@autodesk.com.
  • Based on your feedback so far, a few minor enhancements to the application (e.g., sorting block control) have been incorporated.
  • We have also cleaned up the documentation a bit.

So please check it out for 60 days and then let us know what you think at labs.drawing.cleanup@autodesk.com. Reviving much-asked-for utilities is alive in the lab.
