2024 Release Notes Question

[brian.strandberg]

Reviewing the release notes:

"Below is a list of improvements that have been made to the Shaded (Fast) and Shaded with Edges (Fast) visual styles."

Have these changes been made to the Shaded and Shaded with Edges visual styles, or should I see one named Shaded (Fast) that I am not seeing?  Is the indication in the release notes (fast) saying that just those two styles were improved?

I know it sounds like a silly question, but it has me guessing myself.  I normally review the release notes before downloading so I was expecting 2 new visual styles.

You could see this update back in version 2023. When you turn on the Shaded visual style, AutoCAD checks your video card and automatically adds the word (Fast) to the style name. And I want to note that this is the biggest improvement in AutoCAD for many years. For the first time I can spin large assemblies without using the 2D Wireframe mode.

It's funny, but as an illustration to the Autodesk blog article, they attached a picture of a girl watching hard CAD-porn on a huge monitor - a huge assembly in 2D wireframe mode 😁. Even Autodesk photographers are aware that no other mode in AutoCAD works normally (that is, it did not work before). 

As for version 2024, there is an improvement in the work of this quick mode with exotic objects. such as point clouds.
