FULL STORY
======================================================================

AutoCAD 2024 has dropped - and its official: the top 3D modeling software now 
natively supports Apple silicon chips. 

According to developer Autodesk, Mac users should see overall performance 
upped to twice the overall performance compared to the last version. 

Alongside performance enhancements on Apples M-series chips, the latest 
update for Windows and Mac also adds improved machine learning and design 
automation across computers and laptops for AutoCAD . Whats new in AutoCAD 
2024? 

Users have long wanted Autodesks popular software for architects and interior 
design to add native support for the M1 and M2 chips, But its not just Apple 
users benefitting from faster workflows. Windows users will see up to 9x 
faster switching between layout tabs, and increased stability and fidelity 
compared to AutoCAD 2023. 

With an eye on improving online collaboration , users can now view activity 
insights, which detail any file changes and user activities. The 2024 edition 
also includes better markup support. Not only do users have the option to 
annotate and share drawings, but its now quicker to implement feedback into 
drawings. Read more

On the improvements, the company stated: AutoCAD uses machine learning to 
detect certain instructions in the markup text enabling shortcuts to commands 
like Move, Copy, or Erase. 

The placement and replacement of blocks has also become smarter and faster. 
Imbued with those new machine learning capabilities, users are able to more 
easily find and replace blocks. Adding blocks, meanwhile, has also been 
streamlined. The software is able to infer the likely position of the next 
block based on the placement of previous blocks in the DWG file. 

AutoCAD 2024 introduces new machine learning capabilities to push the 
boundaries of productivity and speed up our customers workflows. AutoCAD for 
Mac 2024 and AutoCAD LT for Mac 2024 deliver incredible, new performance 
improvements with the ability to run AutoCAD natively on Apple silicon. Its 
exciting to see how customers can now take full advantage of the latest 
hardware and M-series chips for faster ways to work, said Dania El Hassan, 
Director of Product Management for AutoCAD. Best laptops for graphic design :
