version. There is an option to save as a 2007 drawing within the new version, and it has been tested to

work just fine. The 2010 version of AutoCAD can read and write to 2007 files. Drawings created on the

free Student Edition, will carry a watermark with them, even if transferred to a full licensed copy of

AutoCAD. A full list of all the individual features added in the version can be found at

AutoCAD 2010 implements a new file format. The file type is still .dwg but it is not compatible withAutoCAD 2007 files. 2010 can read and write 2007 files, but 2007 cannot open 2010 files. There is

however, an option to save as an earlier version AutoCAD file.

There is a new ribbon interface you will find similar to Microsofts Office 2007. This is a change from themore traditional menu layouts in 2007.

Also new to 2010 is added support for Data linking with Microsoft Excel. Added Support for printing to a 3D printer.
