Navigation Tool for AutoCAD Now Available

Programmer/Software Engineer, Randy Kintzley, provided me with a handy little tool for AutoCAD. I was happy to add it to the Autodesk Labs site:

This tool provides back and forward display navigation within AutoCAD. The behavior is similar to back and forward navigation within your web browser. It basically tracks what you're looking at in AutoCAD. Any time you want to go back to something you were looking at previously, just hit the back button. Similarly, click the forward button to navigate forward again.

The tool works with the AutoCAD 2008 and 2009 family of products. In 2009, it integrates with the ribbon interface. And they say you can never go back. In the words of the Terminator, "I'll be back."

Sharing utilities that help you navigate in AutoCAD is alive in the lab.
