It has come up in a few discussions that there is some confusion about the Graphic Engine option no longer being available in Application preferences in 2026. I've been talking to some on the AutoCAD team who realize now that this was never really announced. So,.... in 2026 Acad for Mac:
- Graphic Engine option has been removed from Application Preferences in 2026, Metal is the default engine
- OpenGL can be enabled by setting sysvar METALMODE=0
I hope this is helpful, and thank you!
