Welcome to the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0(lucky you!) post in this “What\u2019s New in AutoCAD 2017?” series. Weeks\u00a0ago,\u00a0I focused on the\u00a0AutoCAD 2017 improvements to 2D graphics<\/a>. But 3D graphics gets a boost, too: Improved stability and performance from\u00a0a new 3D graphics subsystem. Now you can view and orbit large 3D models, with visual styles, and you\u00a0won’t experience\u00a0adaptive degradation. Previously, it would automatically turn off visual features during interactive display operations to maintain an acceptable frame rate.<\/p>\n

The performance for 3D drawings has been improved\u00a0overall, but especially\u00a0for models with a large number of small blocks containing edges and facets. Use any 3D Navigation tools to experience the improved performance.<\/p>\n
