AutoSnap settings can be changed on the AutoSnap tab in the Osnap Settings dialog box. You can press TAB to cycle through all the snap points available on the object. The performance benefits of demand loading are most noticeable when you either clip the xref to display a small fraction of it and a spatial index is saved in the externally referenced drawing, or when you freeze many layers of the xref and the externally referenced drawing is saved with a layer index.ĪutoSnap is a new option of Running Object Snaps that indicates the snap points on an object with a colored marker and a tooltip as your aperture box moves over an object. When demand loading is enabled, AutoCAD loads into memory only the portions of the referenced drawing that are necessary to regenerate the current drawing. The 3D features, ACIS solid modeler, Image Support Module, DRAWORDER command, Multiline Text Editor, external databases, Match Properties, Internet Utilities, and Render are now demand-loaded ARX applications which only need to be loaded when they are used.ĭemand-Loaded Externally Referenced Drawings (Xrefs) Modular Application Structure (Application Demand Loading)

If you use the hatch feature frequently, you can reduce your drawing's file size and memory consumption significantly, as well as speed up drawing load and regeneration time. Hatch patterns are also now stored as single objects, which occupy less space in your drawing. If you use polylines frequently, you can reduce your drawing's file size and memory consumption significantly, as well as speed up drawing load and regeneration time. Polylines are now stored single objects, which occupy less space in your drawing. The maximum number of active viewports in paper space has increased from 16 to 48. Transparent Zoom and Pan, and Realtime Zoom and Pan are both enabled in paper space. Regenerations in paper space following a zoom or pan operation have been almost completely eliminated. Replacement of AutoCAD ADI graphics pipeline with a modern, HEIDI-based graphics system has eliminated the refresh file and its memory demands. Drawing Productivity Enhancements -AutoCAD Release R14
