An AutoCAD message notifies users of the creation of proxy objects. Users can read about proxy entities using the LIST command. They can also encounter proxies because of the manner in which the entities are displayed and the way they respond to editing.
AutoCAD displays a message immediately after any command that causes a proxy object to be created (for example, DXFIN, XREF, INSERT). The message includes the number of proxy entities created with visual representation, the number of proxy entities created that cannot be displayed because of the absence of the parent application, and the number of proxy objects created without visual representation.
A LIST operation performed on a proxy object identifies the application that created the custom object, and identifies the object as being either of type ACAD_PROXY_OBJECT or ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY.
Users can control the display of proxy objects with the PROXYSHOW system variable, which has the following options:
