RIBBONCONTEXTSELLIM (System Variable)

Limits the number of objects that can be changed at one time with the ribbon property controls or a contextual tab.

Type: Integer
Saved in: User-settings
Initial value: 2500

The valid range is 0 to 32767. When set to 0, the limit is turned off. If the limit is exceeded, the ribbon property controls and panels will be grayed out.

Selecting a large number of objects and changing them with the Properties panel or a contextual tab on the ribbon can result in slow response time. This system variable prevents such an occurrence, especially on a computer with limited memory.

Note: The Properties and Quick Properties palettes are not affected by this system variable, but are limited by the PROPOBJLIMIT system variable.
