Feature	New Feature or Feature Enhancement	Feature Comments
Import PDF	Feature Enhancement	PDFSHXTEXT is a command that you can use after you import a PDF file that contains SHX geometry. It converts any selected PDF geometry into multiline text objects that use a matching SHX font. Several popular SHX fonts are supported. However, Asian Big Font SHX geometry is currently not supported. Commands: PDFSHXTEXT , -PDFSHXTEXT , TXT2MTXT
High Resolution Monitor Support(High Pixels per Inch)	New Feature	In the AutoCAD 2017.1.2 Update, common user interface elements, such as the Layer Manager, Command Line window, Property Palette, File Navigation dialog box, pick box cursor, grips, View Cube, and UCS icon, are correctly adjusted to the Windows setting for the display scale. Note: For the best results, use Windows 10 due to operation system limitations. Use a compatible video card for the best results. Some dialog boxes in vertical products are not optimized for viewing at scales greater than 100% on high resolution monitors.
Object Selection	Feature Enhancement	Objects that are moved off screen during selection in remain in the selection set. All linetype gaps can be selected and available for object snapping when High Quality Geometry is turned on. System variables: SELECTIONOFFSCREEN, LTGAPSELECTION
3D Graphics Performance	Feature Enhancement	The performance and reliability of 3DORBIT is improved for rendered visual styles, especially for models with a large number of small blocks containing edges and facets. Command: VISUALSTYLES
