New F/X CAD Features
Layer Palette Improvements
The Layer Properties Manager now includes a new Xref Overrides filter.
Quickly see all the Xref layers you’ve overridden in one handy list.
HiDPI support
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.

Reverting to the Default F/X CAD or AutoCAD 2019 Ribbons
Important note on the CUIX download links below:
We've provided the following download links for a specific situation — you're an F/X CAD user who has customized the ribbons yourself (or don’t really like what we've done with them), so you want to start over and configure them differently. So you may prefer to have stock AutoCAD ribbons or our default F/X CAD ribbons.
