HiDPI support
![HiDPI Icons](/images/docs/kb/autocad-issues/fxcad-features/4724/hidpi.png)
AutoCAD icons have been enhanced for 4K monitor performance.
The entire CAD interface now works with HiDPI and has a fresh new look for high contrast and visibility.
2D Graphics Performance Improvements
Functions that require a redraw or regen – such as draw order, zooming, panning, layer properties, or display of raster/PDF overlays – now run up to two times faster.
