Autodesk has just rolled out an updated version of AutoCAD 360 for Windows 8.1, providing users of Microsoft’s modern operating system with improved functionality and some new options.

According to the official release notes published in the Windows Store, the new AutoCAD 360 build includes UI improvements and mouse gesture support, which means that the app is no longer perfect just for touch, but also for those who rely on a mouse as the main input method on their devices.

At the same time, Autodesk implemented stability improvements and several bug fixes, so expect everything to work faster after deploying the update.

AutoCAD 360 is a free application that allows users to view DWG, DWF, and DXF files right in the Modern UI of their Windows 8.1 computers, while also providing some additional options to make this easier. For example, the program brings full synchronization support for your AutoCAD 360 account, compatibility for online and offline modes, but also layout control to switch between model and paper space.

Overall, this update should really come in handy to many users who rely on Autodesk software for their daily activities, so go ahead and download AutoCAD 360 for Windows 8.1 to get the latest version on your computer as well.
