AutoCAD initially enables sorting for plotting and PostScript output only. Setting additional sorting options can result in slower regeneration and redrawing times.
VBA:
Sub Example_ObjectSortBySnap() ' This example reads and modifies the preference value that controls ' the sorting of drawing objects by object snap. ' When finished, this example resets the preference value back to ' its original value. Dim ACADPref As AcadDatabasePreferences Dim originalValue As Variant, newValue As Variant ' Get the user preferences object Set ACADPref = ThisDrawing.preferences ' Read and display the original value originalValue = ACADPref.ObjectSortBySnap MsgBox "The ObjectSortBySnap preference is set to: " & originalValue ' Modify the ObjectSortBySnap preference by toggling the value ACADPref.ObjectSortBySnap = Not (ACADPref.ObjectSortBySnap) newValue = ACADPref.ObjectSortBySnap MsgBox "The ObjectSortBySnap preference has been set to: " & newValue ' Reset the preference back to its original value ' ' * Note: Comment out this last section to leave the change to ' this preference in effect ACADPref.ObjectSortBySnap = originalValue MsgBox "The ObjectSortBySnap preference was reset back to: " & originalValue End Sub
