3D DWG file performance in AutoCAD

“

- [Instructor] 3D drawing file performance is much improved in AutoCAD 2018. I've got a drawing open here, 3DOrbit.dwg. Again, you can download it from the website if you wish to follow along with the video. And you'll notice that, at the moment, we're in the 2D Wireframe visual style. If I go and change the visual style up here, top left, and go to something like Shades of Gray, you'll notice that it tells me, down near the command line, that enhanced 3D performance is not available for that particular visual style, whereas if I went for something like, let's say Conceptual, it is. And as you can see on the Conceptual there, if I now perform something like a 3D orbit, you can see that it's very clean. And nothing is jagged, and it moves very smoothly. And the performance now, for 3D drawing files, is on a par with when you manipulate a 2D drawing file. And it's very, very quick, and it's very, very clean. And it's approaching 2D drawing speed now, because of the technology and the…
