Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2024 launch day

Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2024 on the way

Backward compatibility:

AutoCAD 2024 release number is 24.3;  minor increment from previous version (AutoCAD 2023 release number is 24.2). Though I can't find any official announcement at the moment, such release number means that no new drawing format is put forward.  The latest drawing format is almost certainly still 2018.  

Document on managed .NET and object ARX compatibility shows that AutoCAD 2024 keeps using the platform from AutoCAD 2021. Third party applications which works with 2021 version are very likely to work in AutoCAD 2024 version, directly.

Here is the list of AutoCAD versions, with release number since 2004:
