I'm not horsing around; well I am but not about that!
I find it a lot faster and smoother than 2023. Saving and making PDF files is definitely faster. I was getting lots of stalls and shutdowns with 2023. SFSG with 2024, no issues. All of that is more important than new tools to me.
I'm working on a larger sign project, the first conceptual drawing came in and I opened it in 2023. It was a PDF from Sketchup and Illustrator. CD 2023 opened it with no problem but it was sketchy during editing.
It was a typical conceptual file, extremely overly complicated, transparencies where none were needed.
The same file and the updated second conceptual file opened in 2024 faster and moving things and editing was significantly faster.
