To set Generate Graphic application options

  1. Log in as MAPSYS.
  2. In the AutoCAD Map 3D toolset Maintenance workspace, connect to the enterprise industry model and open a project.
  3. Click Setup tab > Options panel > Global Industry Model Options.
  4. In the Application Options dialog box tree view, click Generate Graphic.
  5. Edit the options in the right pane.

    These settings take effect when you reopen the project.

    Viewport Creation These values can be modified later in the Advanced Generate Graphic dialog box.
    Configuration For Point Feature Classes Specify the default height and width for a viewport you define using a point in the center of the drawing.
    Configuration For Other Feature Class Types

    Specify a magnification factor for a viewport you define with a non-point feature in the center of the drawing. The viewport size is calculated based on the feature extension. Enter a magnification factor as follows:

    • 0: Uses a selected polygon feature
    • 0 to 1: Zooms in. The filter rectangle is smaller than the bounding box of the selected geometry.
    • 1: No change
    • Higher than 1: Zooms out. The filter rectangle is greater than the bounding box of the selected geometry.
    Display Model  
    Repository Base Path Specify the path to display model files such as (*.tbdm) and (*.layer). See also Storing Display Models.
    Drawing Options When Generating A Display Model  
    Close Current Drawing Opens a new drawing for each display model map of the selected display model and closes the previous one.

    For example, you select a display model DM1, and generate graphic to populate Drawing1.DWG. Then, you select another display model DM2. Drawing1.DWG is closed, and a new drawing Drawing2.DWG is populated.

    Keep Current Drawings Open Opens a new drawing for each display model map of the selected Display Model without closing the previous one.
    Reuse Active Drawing Loads the first display model map of the selected display model into the active drawing (*.DWG), such as an AutoCAD drawing (*.DWG) that contains projected parcels.

    When you select a display model, and generate the graphic, the display model adds the feature layers to your active drawing. You can use the command Create New Feature From Geometry to transfer the projected parcel geometry into the database.
