: Better integration with modern hardware, such as Intel Xeon and AMD Athlon 64 processors with SSE2 technology. Key Features and Productivity Tools
A 250 MB civil engineering drawing containing 15,000 line segments, 500 polylines, 200 3D faces, 30 external references (XRefs), and 4 raster images. Hardware: Intel Core i7-870 (4 cores), 12 GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800. Autodesk AutoCAD 2011 -64-bit-
While now primitive, AutoCAD 2011 introduced the ability to attach .PCG (Point Cloud) files from laser scanners. The 64-bit version was mandatory here—a single scan project could exceed 50 million points, impossible for a 32-bit process. : Better integration with modern hardware, such as
Massive architectural files would stutter, freeze, or crash entirely during a "Regen" (regeneration) command. : Better integration with modern hardware
