Customizes the AutoCAD display.
Controls display settings specific to the AutoCAD environment.
Controls color settings in a dark or light color for interface elements such as the status bar, title bar, ribbon bar, palettes, and the application menu frame.
Displays scroll bars at the bottom and right sides of the drawing area.
Displays buttons in a larger format at 32 by 30 pixels. The default display size is 16 by 15 pixels.
Scales the small ribbon icons to 16 x 16 pixels and the large ribbon icons to 32 x 32 pixels when they do not match the standard icon sizes.
Controls the display of tooltips on the ribbon, toolbars, and other user interface elements.
Sets the intial delay time to display tooltips.
Displays shortcut keys in the tooltip (Alt + Key) (Ctrl + Key).
Controls the display of extended tooltips.
Sets the delay time between the display of basic tooltips and extended tooltips.
Controls the display of rollover tooltips when the cursor hovers over an object.
Displays the File tabs at the top of the drawing area.
Displays the Drawing Window Colors dialog box. Use this dialog box to specify colors of elements in the main application window.
Displays the Command Line Window Font dialog box. Use this dialog box to specify the font for the command window text.
Controls options for existing and new layouts. A layout is a paper space environment in which you can set up drawings for plotting.
Displays the layout and Model tabs at the bottom of the drawing area.
Displays the printable area in a layout. The printable area is represented by the area within the dashed line and is determined by the selected output device. Objects drawn outside of the printable area are clipped or omitted when the drawing is plotted.
Displays a representation of the specified paper size in a layout. The paper size and plot scale determine the size of the paper background.
Displays a shadow around the paper background in a layout. This option is unavailable if the Display Paper Background option is cleared.
Displays the Page Setup Manager the first time you choose a layout tab. Use this dialog box to set options related to paper and plot settings.
Creates a single viewport automatically when you create a new layout.
Controls the quality of the display of objects. If you set high values to improve display quality, the impact on performance is significant.
Sets the resolution for objects in the current viewport.
A higher number produces smoother objects, but AutoCAD requires more time to regenerate, pan, and zoom the objects. You can improve performance by setting this option to a low value such as 100 for drawing, and increasing the value for rendering. The valid range is 1 to 20,000. The default setting is 100. This setting is saved in the drawing. To change the default for new drawings, consider specifying this setting in the template files on which you base new drawings.
Sets the number of line segments to be generated for each polyline curve.
Greater the number the smoother the arc appears, but performance is also impacted. Set this option to a low value such as 4 to optimize performance for drawing. Values range from -32767 to 32767. The default setting is 8. This setting is saved in the drawing.
Controls display settings that affect AutoCAD performance.
Displays solid fills in objects. You must regenerate the drawing for this setting to take effect. This setting is saved in the drawing. Clear this option to optimize performance.
Displays the frames for text objects instead of displaying the text objects.
Controls the size of the crosshairs.
The valid range is from 1 to 100 percent of the total screen. At 100 percent, the ends of the crosshairs are never visible. When the size is decreased to 99 percent or below, the crosshairs have a finite size, and the ends of the crosshairs are visible when situated at the edge of the drawing area. The default size is 5 percent.
Controls the dimming for all objects in attached DWG xrefs.
