I don’t yet have a Mac, myself – although I’m about to buy a new system and suspect that the sensible choice, at this stage, would be to get a Mac (albeit one that makes heavy use of Boot Camp :-) - so I’ve had to borrow the below image to show you what it looks like.Īnd here’s the launch video accompanying the announcement, for your viewing pleasure. But we’re doing our best to provide a core set of features that will allow Mac users to take full advantage of AutoCAD running natively on OSX.Īnother significant change: the user interface has been modified to suit the platform.

Notable omissions include layer states, layer filters, the Sheet Set Manager and DWF/DGN/PDF underlay support. The overall feature set is pretty comparable with that of AutoCAD 2011 for Windows, although you will clearly find some gaps, for now. For now that means a subset of ObjectARX and AutoLISP will be available to developers and customers working on AutoCAD for Mac: we’ll see how that changes, over time. To clarify something about this release, it is not AutoCAD LT – it has full 3D editing capabilities and support for applications. After months (probably ev en more) of intense speculation, Autodesk has just announced that after a break of several (perhaps 15, depending on how you count them) releases, we’re planning to deliver a version of AutoCAD that once again works natively on Mac machines. This 65times slower.Well, it’s finally been announced. Console app: 4,8 seconds (results in german) Now the Issue: the pure runtime for generating the mesh of a point cloud with 31356 elements (see screenshots): The code of the Delaunay-Algorithm is in both versions absolutely identical – every line! The platform is a MacBook Air 2019 M1, current macOS-version, current xcode-verions, current AutoCAD for Mac version, always release-mode. As a second step I have migrated the code in a ObjectArx-Application which read the point cloud and writes the results directly from/in the drawing.

First, I have implemented the code as a console application which reads a DXF-File containing the point cloud and writes the obtained mesh-results back in a second DXF-File. I wrote a small program in ANSI C for generating a two-dimensional mesh of triangles for a point cloud using the Delaunay- Algorithm. I have a serious performance issue with ObjectArx.
