Performance Improvements in Detailing and Drawings

Areas of improvement include Detailing Mode, massive drawings, section views, bills of materials (BOM), cosmetic threads, and opening and saving drawings.

In Detailing Mode, robust referencing saves you a dramatic amount of time by eliminating the need to resolve and save to maintain final annotation and dimension associativity.

For massive drawings, display performance is improved in many areas.
  • While sketches are shown:
    • Zoom and pan performance is improved substantially.
    • For Zoom to Area, the shaded box keeps up with the pointer movement.
  • Zoom and pan performance is more consistent regardless of zoom scale, for example, when zooming tight versus zooming to fit.
  • The latency issue that occurred for the first pan is eliminated.
  • Selecting and moving annotations is improved.
  • Dynamic highlighting is improved.
Performance is also improved when:
  • Creating and updating large section views
  • Using Auto Insert to add center marks when creating section views
  • Canceling Edit Sketch in broken-out section views
  • Creating a detail view in a section view
  • Importing a model’s cosmetic threads into a view
  • HLR background processing for high-quality display of cosmetic threads, by taking advantage of available CPU cores
  • Sorting a BOM
  • Opening a drawing file
  • Selecting items in drawings
  • Saving a drawing as a .dwg file
