Variable Settings

The following variables are useful for optimizing system performance.

GRIPOBJLIMIT

Function: Specifies the maximum number of selected objects that can display editing grips. Default setting is 100.

Recommended setting: 2

HIGHLIGHT

Function: Specifies whether objects you select in the drawing are redrawn with dashed lines for easier visibility. Default setting is 1 (on), but you can set it to 0 (off) for faster selection of large, detailed objects. The 0 setting is especially effective for working with surfaces that include many contours or other lines.

Recommended setting: 0

ISAVEPERCENT

Function: Controls the amount of unused space in a drawing, measured in percent. Default setting is 50. With a setting of 0 the drawing size is minimized, but every save operation is a full save.

Recommended setting: 0

SAVETIME

Function: Specifies the time interval in minutes between automatic save (Autosave) operations. Default setting is 10 minutes.

Recommended setting: 30 or more
