Improved Drawing infrastructure in Windows

We’ve upgraded the technology which supports drawing in Archicad for Windows. (This change was already implemented for Mac.)

The goal was to implement a solution that opens the way to modern rendering techniques and cleaner code, to reduce the number of crashes and other software glitches now and in the future.

The result: better memory utilization and appearance.

The default options in the Advanced Redraw Options page of Work Environment now reflect these changes:

•2D Drawing Hardware Acceleration option is enabled and cannot be turned off (technology serving this is obsolete and will be eliminated in upcoming versions)

•2D Drawing Antialiasing is turned on by default (performance issues no longer a problem, and this option makes drawings appear much smoother)
