For best results, use these 3D visual styles in their default states on a 64-bit machine with a compatible graphics card. Measuring the frames-per-second performance in six large benchmark models, the median FPS performance increase in AutoCAD 2018 Update was 175 percent faster (2.75x) than the FPS in AutoCAD 2017 and 37 percent faster (1.37x) than in AutoCAD 2018 (pre-update).

The 3D graphics performance for the Wireframe, Realistic, and Shaded visual styles has increased significantly, depending on the content of the DWG files tested. The navigation speed of 3D models (when viewing with the most common visual styles) continues to improve with the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update. And you have more control over which Xref layers and layer properties are restored when Xrefs are reloaded. Improvements to the Layer Manager and other Layer controls make it easier to identify overrides and to restore them to their default values. Now, you can do it in a single step-enabling you to add many views very quickly! The result is the same as the multi-step process of creating a layout viewport, making it active, selecting a view, setting the scale, resizing the viewport, and locking it.

To help you quickly identify new features in the user interface, make sure the “Highlight New Features” option in the Help menu is turned on.Įnhancements in the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update make working with named views and layout viewports easier than ever! Simply select a view from the new view gallery and place it onto your layout. The AutoCAD 2018.1 Update offers new software enhancements and tools to simplify your workflows and improve productivity.
