If you want to read more about this update, you can read about AutoCAD 2017 fall update on AutoCAD blog here. Read about Enhance 3D Display Performance here. If the performance boost doesn’t work, you will see this notification bubble. But, there are some conditions to met before you can feel the performance. I tried it and can feel the significant difference when working with a large model. AutoCAD 3D Navigation PerformanceĪutoCAD 3D navigation now becomes faster and smoother. It’s probably means nothing for AutoCAD users, but for AutoCAD LT users, it means they can use this functionality now. But now this tool is graduated from Express Tools and become AutoCAD core. It’s been included in Express Tools for years. TXT2MTXT is not a new feature for AutoCAD users. Text to Mtext is Graduated from Express Tools The text will still be imported as geometry, but you can convert them to text in AutoCAD later. This update includes a tool to recognize SHX fonts. However, SHX font will be imported as geometry, not texts.
You can directly import a PDF file to a native AutoCAD format. SHX Font Support for Imported PDFĪutoCAD 2017 finally supports PDF import. It does take a long time, but I’m glad that this is finally supported. This issue finally resolved in this update. You can only select objects that are shown on your screen. After you select objects then you pan the screen to select objects off the screen, the previous selection will be removed. Probably not all AutoCAD users realize this. You can maximize your screen resolution now! Off Screen Selection In the new update, this issue has been resolved. This has been a problem for years, and we need to use this workaround to use it comfortably. The texts on the palettes are truncated, or the texts are too small. You can control this option using HIGHLIGHTNEW system variable.ĪutoCAD has a problem when working with the high-resolution display (larger than 4K resolution). I don’t know if they will be gone after a while, but if you don’t want to see the highlights, you can turn it off by clicking the down arrow near the help icon. These highlights will not be turned off after you use the tools. This highlight probably can help us to explore new features quickly. We often miss the new features in new releases. It’s a good way for us to find what are new quickly. There are orange circles at the new tools icon. It’s a good thing that now Autodesk improve the functionality before the annual release. What are the new features? New Feature HighlightsĪfter you installed the update, you can see the new tools are highlighted on the ribbon. You should see the update in Autodesk Desktop App and be able to install it from that app. After you install this update, your AutoCAD version will be AutoCAD 2017.1. You can’t manually download and install it from AutoCAD download page like other regular updates. Text to Mtext is Graduated from Express ToolsĪutodesk released AutoCAD update last week.
