What's new in Microsoft Visio Standard 2016 16.0.6741.2048

Jul 6, 2016
  • Enhanced AutoCAD support:
  • Before, Visio supported .dwg and .dxf files from AutoCAD 2007. With this update, you can import or open files that are from any existing version of AutoCAD.
  • Improved AutoCAD scaling:
  • With this update, you will see scaling improvements when importing AutoCAD files. Just make sure to set a couple of properties first. In AutoCAD, make sure that the active tab is a layout tab, and not the model tab. Also, make sure that the Visio drawing scale is set to the same scale as the AutoCAD viewport scale.
  • Faster import of AutoCAD files:
  • With this update, you will notice that AutoCAD import speed is greatly improved.
  • Instantaneous shape overlay:
  • There used to be long delays when working with shapes on top of CAD files. With this update, there’s no delay.
