At its core, AutoCAD 2021 was designed to streamline the daily grind of drafting by refining heavy-use tools and automating repetitive actions. Unlike some past software iterations that alienated users with drastic user interface overhauls, AutoCAD 2021 maintained visual continuity with its predecessor while embedding powerful functional upgrades beneath the surface. One of the most celebrated updates was the overhaul of the Trim and Extend commands. In prior versions, users were forced to laboriously select cutting or boundary edges before trimming or extending a line. AutoCAD 2021 introduced a "Quick Mode" by default, which automatically treated all intersecting geometry as potential boundaries. This seemingly minor adjustment eliminated thousands of unnecessary clicks over a standard workday, drastically accelerating drafting speed and reducing user fatigue.
