Accelerated Graphics Capabilities and Limitations

Views with tech preview accelerated graphics enabled may be limited in ways non-accelerated views are not.

  • Graphical views are supported with the following exceptions:
    • Sheets, activated viewports on sheets, drafting views, and legends
    • Materials are not supported in textures and realistic view types
    • Walkthroughs and Solar Studies are not supported
  • 3D Geometry is supported with the following exception:
    • Coordination models and point clouds are not displayed
  • Graphic appearance is consistent with non-accelerated views with the following exceptions:
    • Lines and edges do not have line patterns or lineweight.
    • Drafting patterns, cut patterns, and pattern overrides do not display.
    • Only transparency set by material is supported.
  • Annotation and detailing is supported with the following exceptions:
    • Raster images, room color fills, and sort order
    • Annotation display can be edited but is not accelerated. The will be limited performance in heavily annotated views.
  • In views with unsupported capabilities enabled, enabling accelerated graphics is not prevented, but will have no effect. Unsupported capabilities include:
    • Advanced view effects, i.e. shadows, backgrounds, sketchy lines, depth cueing
    • View cropping, views will display uncropped except for rectangular cropping (non-rectangular and split crop region are not yet supported).
    • Discipline view effects will not display.
    • Underlay and halftone effects are not applied.
    • View range is not fully respected in plan views.
  • All output, print, export, and render will display the non-accelerated state of the view.
Note: check the Tech Preview Terms of Use for more information about the terms of use for tech previews.
