New Commands:
Annotation Commands
AreaNote. Highlights and annotates areas within the drawing.
Calculates the area and perimeter
Highlights areas with a color of your choice
Adds a label showing the measured area and a custom description
ExTrim. Trims one side of an entity intersecting with a cutting edge.
View Commands
MVSetup. Lets you specify settings for plotting a drawing. You can define drawing units, set scales, insert title blocks, and create viewports.
In Model space, you can set units and a scale.
In Sheet space, you can specify options such as sheet size selection, viewport creation, viewport scaling, and view alignment for a complete layout setup.
Layer Commands
LayerTranslator. Lets you map layers from one drawing to another. The command translates layer names and their properties, such as color, line type, line weight, and plot settings, so that your drawing matches the desired layer standard.
Map Commands
RubberSheet. Performs rubber sheeting on the specified data set. Rubber sheeting is a coordinate transformation process based on known control points.
AI-Powered Features:
AI Assist (A3) enhancements. AI Assist (A3) can also:
Delete entities based on specific criteria.
Create new entities, such as lines, circles, and rectangles, using natural-language instructions.
Process a selection and an action combined into a single phrase.
Command Recommender. The Command Recommender window displays in real time a list of command suggestions according to the tracked tasks. At any moment, you can select a command from the Command Recommender and use it in your project.
Recommender. Displays the Command Recommender window.
HideRecommender. Hides the Command Recommender window.
BlockLibrary command AI enhancements. You can generate Blocks directly from the Trinity Block Library. Describe what you need — for example a power outlet, or a table — and the system will generate the symbol for you.

Field command enhancements:
DIESEL expressions. You can write and evaluate expressions directly within the Field dialog box.
String operations
Logical operations
Arithmetic calculations
System variable retrieval

The list of properties that you can transfer from one entity to another includes new options, such as:
Dimension styles
Text styles
Plot styles
Materials
Transparency
Hatch properties
