TIPS AND TRICKS
Improved Graphics
Simply select the new “High quality
geometry” option in the Graphics
Performance dialog (easily found on the
Status bar).
Hardware acceleration must be
turned ON.
Set LINEFADING to  to automatically fade
geometry as you zoom into super-dense
drawings. Control the amount of fading with
LINEFADINGLEVEL.
Are you tired of the jagged diagonal lines in
AutoCAD? AutoCAD  to the rescue! The
LINESMOOTHING variable smooths out lines
(including those with lineweights) and curves
at any zoom level.
If your hardware doesn’t support
High quality geometry (isn’t DirectX
®
-capable), try using the Smooth line display
for better graphics performance.
3D Orbit
Enjoy better control of the target point when
you turn off “Enable Orbit Auto Target” from
the D Orbit right-click menu. Then you can
click and hold the cursor to specify the pivot
point.
A small spherical icon will display to indicate
the pivot point.
