Hatch Layer

The HPLAYER system variable has been expanded to allow you to specify a non-existing layer and set it

as default for new hatches and fills.

TEXTEDIT Command

The TEXTEDIT command includes a new Mode option (TEXTEDITMODE system variable) to enable you to

edit multiple text objects without having to restart the command. When the Multiple option is selected,

TEXTEDIT repeats, which enables you to continue selecting text objects for editing. An Undo option

within Multiple mode lets you undo previous editing operations.

Rendering

Rendering is no longer available in AutoCAD 2017 for Mac. The A360 online rendering service is available

using the RENDERONLINE command.

Offline Help

Offline Help is no longer part of the installation. This decreases the size of the install package making it

quicker to download. Offline Help will be available to install separately but is not available for AutoCAD

2017 for Mac.
