Software Specifies software acceleration. The software graphics system performs
all of the drawing tasks in 3D.
Texture Compression Enables the use of texture compression to reduce the
amount of video memory required to open and display a drawing that contains
materials with images or has attached images.
NOTE With this option on, the time it takes to load the images may increase the
first time that they are accessed and there is a reduction in the quality of the images
when they are displayed in the viewport or plotted.
Plot Emulation
Turns on or off the use of software emulation for unsupported hardware effects
during the plotting of a drawing with shaded viewports. The use of software
emulation happens when it is turned on, and hardware acceleration is disabled
or is enabled, but does not support Shadows.
