The highly anticipated AutoCAD 2024 has arrived, and with it comes native support for Apple silicon chips. Developer Autodesk has reported that Mac users can expect their overall performance to be doubled compared to the previous version of the top 3D modeling software.
Apart from the enhancements for Apple's M-series chips, AutoCAD 2024 update for both Windows and Mac platforms brings improved machine learning and design automation features across all devices to streamline the user experience.
What to Expect in AutoCAD 2024?
Users of Autodesk's popular architectural and interior design software have long awaited native support for the M1 and M2 chips, but the benefits of the latest update are not limited to Apple users alone. Windows users will enjoy up to 9x faster switching between layout tabs and improved stability and fidelity compared to AutoCAD 2023.
In addition to performance improvements, AutoCAD 2024 focuses on enhancing online collaboration capabilities. Users can now view activity insights, detailing file changes and user activities. The new version also features better markup support, enabling users to annotate, share drawings, and implement feedback more efficiently.
Autodesk explains that AutoCAD uses machine learning to detect specific instructions in markup text, providing shortcuts to commands like Move, Copy, or Erase, further expediting the design process.
The software's block placement and replacement functionalities have received an upgrade as well, thanks to machine learning capabilities. Users can now find and replace blocks with greater ease, and the software intelligently streamlines the process of adding blocks by predicting the next block's positioning based on the DWG file's existing block placements.
Dania El Hassan, Director of Product Management for AutoCAD, expressed excitement about the new features, stating, "AutoCAD 2024 introduces new machine learning capabilities to push the boundaries of productivity and speed up our customer's 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. It's exciting to see how customers can now take full advantage of the latest hardware and M-series chips for faster ways to work."
Moreover, no-code platforms, like AppMaster.io, are gaining popularity among professionals looking to create web, mobile applications, and backend services more quickly and cost-effectively. While AutoCAD 2024 provides cutting-edge capabilities tailored for architects and designers, no-code solutions like AppMaster cater to those who want to build interactive and scalable applications without extensive programming knowledge.
