ArcGIS for AutoCAD and AutoCAD 2019

It was great to meet up with so many in San Diego at the Esri 2018 Users Conference in San Diego.  It was also good to hear from so many of you that are making good use of the free ArcGIS for AutoCAD application and the  bonus  tools.   We are busily at work creating our next release to improve  integration with ArcGIS web GIS we hope to release before the end of the actual calendar year "2018".

ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free download from Esri, and provides AutoCAD users with a way to generate ArcGIS data inside AutoCAD drawings, and access and edit ArcGIS Web Services.  The latest release has been updated to install into 64bit AutoCAD 2015-2019 versions.  Although ArcGIS for AutoCAD 370 already supported AutoCAD 2019, the installer and desktop launcher did not recognize the AutoCAD 2019 versions, and you had to install ArcGIS for AutoCAD on a previous version of AutoCAD.   The installer and desktop executable launcher that invokes AutoCAD and loads ArcGIS for AutoCAD has also been updated for AutoCAD 2019.
