Associative Center Marks and Centerlines

User Interface

• Several dialog boxes are now resizable: APPLOAD, ATTEDIT, DWGPROPS, EATTEDIT, INSERT, LAYERSTATE, PAGESETUP, and VBALOAD.
• The preview areas are expanded in several dialog boxes used for attaching files, and saving and opening drawings.
• You can turn on the new LTGAPSELECTION system variable to be able to select objects in the gaps of non-continuous linetypes as if they were set to a continuous linetype.
• You can choose whether to use the AutoCAD crosshairs cursor or the Windows arrow cursor in the drawing area using the CURSORTYPE system variable.
• You can specify the delay timing for basic tooltips in the Options dialog box, Display tab.

Performance Enhancements

• The performance and reliability of 3DORBIT has been improved for rendered visual styles, especially for models with a large number of small blocks containing edges and facets.
• The performance of 2D panning and zooming operations has been improved.
• The visual quality for linetypes has been improved.
• The performance of object snapping has been improved by skipping geometric center (GCEN) computation for polylines with a huge number of segments.

Miscellaneous Changes

• The HPLAYER system variable can now be set to a nonexistent layer for new hatches and fills. The layer is created when the next hatch or fill is created.
• The DIMLAYER system variable is now used by all dimensioning commands.
• The TEXTEDIT command now automatically repeats.
• Unnecessary tooltips have been removed from the Quick Select and Purge dialog boxes.
• A new unit setting, US Survey Feet, has been added to the list of insertion scales in the UNITS command.
