Here's what's new in F/X CAD 2023.
Improvements to F/X CAD
New Extend Vertex
Stretch a polyline at its start or end more easily than ever. Previously, you could not add a new vertex to the start of a polyline – only a new second vertex – which made it difficult to extend.
New Cut with Base Point (CUTBASE)
Grab an object to place in a new location while automatically removing the original from your drawing. It's like using >COPYBASE
Enhanced Count Palette
While you’re using the Count Palette, you can also select a Work Area to limit the error checking to the Land F/X areas you’ve already drawn. Go even further and try the count palette selection tool!
Floating drawing windows improvement
The Command line now floats with your drawing window when anchored (instead of docked) – a further evolution of the ability to move a floating window to another monitor, added last year.
New Drawing shows the DWT name
On the Start tab, hover on the New button to see which drawing template is set to launch. Memory of the last template used in the current session is built in, and you can use your QNEW option to apply that memory to future sessions.
Options dialog box asks to save
How many times have you made extensive changes to the Options, only to lose them because you accidentally closed or canceled? Now you have a safeguard!
Reorganizing the Ribbons & Quick Access Toolbar
Don't like our changes to the ribbons or the Quick Access Toolbar? No problem! You can add, remove, or move tool buttons to your liking.

Reverting to the Default F/X CAD or AutoCAD 2023 Ribbons
Important note on the CUIX download links below:
We've provided the following download links for a specific situation — you're an F/X CAD user who has customized the ribbons yourself (or don’t really like what we've done with them), so you want to start over and configure them differently. So you may prefer to have stock AutoCAD ribbons or our default F/X CAD ribbons.
