Autodesk changed the welcome screen in AutoCAD 2013. No surprise there; it seems to change every release. The welcome screen is the first thing you see when AutoCAD starts up. I don’t mean the splash screen I mean the screen that pops up (some would say intrusively) and has lots of buttons for you to click on. I wanted to take a moment and talk about it.
The welcome screen has three main columns: Work, Learn, and Extend. Each column contains bits of information and links that will take you away to magical places. Ok, not really, but sort of.
