Topic: AutoCAD 2012 New Feature Summary

[M-dub]

Raster file support has been expanded to include several new file formats, including MrSID, ECW, and JPEG2000.

Excellent ....

It has always been there.  Just install the raster object enabler.

"Just" is the word our wives use to minimize the jobs they want us to do in an attempt to make them sound quick and easy.

"I just want this window to be bigger."

Very very true...

How fast is the response when you click on the "Big A"

ACA 2010 for me has a really slow response. 5 to 10 seconds

same here.  never figured out why, but it's fixed in 2011.  I stayed in 2010 though because the Autodorks fracked up the 3Dconnexion joy in 2011.

It better be fixed in 2012...   :pissed:

Thanks.  It is the sole reason I do not use the "Big A".  It is shame I like using once it decides to wake up.   

BTW I would not have a clue of the Greek 3D thing-ma-jig you mention.  3D what the heck is that?    Must be some Star Trek reference.

For those interested, here is a summary of some of the new features in AutoCAD 2012:

Did they add multi-core processing?

So far, many of my routines and general performance is really running wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than 2011.
The SaveAs 2007 runs like it used to, quick as can be. Beginning to wonder if a reg cleaner messed up 2011 though.
But so far thumbs up for 2012!

I heard long time ago that 2011 was design to really take advantage Win7.  Sounds link they really got it to work in 2012 instead.  But that does not answer your question does it?

How fast is the response when you click on the "Big A"

Right after the very first launch of 2012, there is a slight delay (maybe 1/2 second?).
Subsequent clicks are nearly instantaneous.

Subsequent launches of 2012 do not have the initial delay.
See attached.

i used to do a lot more 3D work and THIS kept my mouse-wheel finger from falling off.  Now it's a life-saver just panning and zooming around these huge facility drawings.

Autodork decided it would be a BRILLIANT idea to take over the drivers and screw them up inside 2011.  :realmad:

Wait.. there's problems with the 3dConnexion drivers?  Or there -was- and -is- no longer?

I've been eying one of those after being slightly less than thrilled with my n52.

yep.  I was contacted about what my experience was and haven't heard since.  I'm really annoyed that Autodesk actively messes with the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" laws.  I understand when lisp & code 'toys' get brought into the base package, but to take over another company's drivers and NOT make them better?   :realmad:

[JCTER]

So what's been the issue/problem?

I'd LOVE to hear what your experience is.

ETA:  also, I've had exactly the same history with those customer surveys :\

the motion would sometimes not complete and lock up the session was the worst.  at best it would take about 30 seconds to regen between stuttered jumps around the file, and that was a simple 2d drawing with a rectangle and a circle.  it was laughable what happened when i actually tried to use it in a REAL drawing.

And before you need to clarify, i worked through all the 'view' options for testing performance, and that WAS the best I could come up with.

That is certainly faster that what I have. 
Thank you sir.  Appreciate it very much.
