To Generate Proxy Graphics

Use this procedure to create proxy graphics in a drawing to be made available to users who do not have the software.

Proxy graphics store the last-viewed image of AEC objects, which lets users view your drawing without modifying the original objects. Proxy graphics store only the display representation for the currently active viewport.

Note: Depending on its complexity and density, a drawing saved with proxy graphics turned on can become extremely large and can slow drawing performance. It is recommended that you make a copy of the drawing before turning proxy graphics on if you want to share the drawing with other users.

1. Arrange the view for which you want to create proxy graphics.
2. At the Command prompt, enter PROXYGRAPHICS.
3. Enter 1.
4. Save the drawing.
5. To turn off proxy graphics, enter PROXYGRAPHICS, and then enter 0.
