- [Instructor] As I've mentioned in some of the previous introductory videos, we are using AutoCAD 2019 for this particular course. Now, AutoCAD 2019 has had what they called an icon refresh. That's the official Autodesk term, which means the icons do look different to previous versions of AutoCAD. So if you look at the screen at the moment, you can see that I've still got that Introduction.dwg file open, the one that you can download from the library, just to have a look at for the introduction to this course.
Have a look at the icons in the ribbon at the top of the screen, though, there in the video. Can you see they look fairly different to older versions of AutoCAD? So you'll notice that we've got this sort of blue and gray thing going on in the modify and the draw panel. If I jump across to the ribbon tabs there, you can see that the icons are a little bit more colorful, a little bit more sophisticated, they've been updated to look nice, and the reason that you've got this icon refresh is to support things like 4K HD monitors and so on.
These icons look really super duper when you're running 4K HD on your monitor. Now I know a lot of you don't and I know 4K HD can be quite expensive when it comes to monitors right now. But if you're running one, it means that these icons kind of zing at you and pow-pow at you a bit more with their colors and their definition. So that's the icon refresh in AutoCAD 2019. Just be aware of it in case your icons look slightly different because you might be using a slightly older version of AutoCAD.
