OPTIONS (Command) Find
Some options shown above are not available in AutoCAD LT.
The following options are displayed.
Controls settings related to saving a file.
Displays the valid file formats used when saving a file with SAVE, SAVEAS, QSAVE, and WBLOCK. The file format selected for this option becomes the default format for saving drawings.
Controls whether the drawing is saved with visual fidelity. (SAVEFIDELITY system variable)
Annotative objects may have multiple scale representations. Annotative objects are decomposed and scale representations are saved to separate layers, which are named based on their original layer and appended with a number.
Controls large object size limit support when you open and save drawings. (LARGEOBJECTSUPPORT system variable)
Displays the Thumbnail Preview Settings dialog box, which controls whether thumbnail previews are updated when the drawing is saved.
Sets the percentage of potentially wasted space in a drawing file. Full saves eliminate wasted space. Incremental saves are faster, but they increase the size of the drawing. (ISAVEPERCENT system variable)
If you set Incremental Save Percentage to 0, every save is a full save. For optimum performance, set the value to 50. If hard disk space becomes an issue, set the value to 25. If you set the value to 20 or less, performance of the SAVE and SAVEAS commands slows significantly.
Assists in avoiding data loss and in detecting errors.
Saves your drawing automatically at the intervals you specify. You can specify the location of all Autosave files by using the SAVEFILEPATH system variable. SAVEFILE (read-only) stores the name of the Autosave file.
Minutes Between Saves: When Automatic Save is on, specifies how often the drawing is saved. (SAVETIME system variable)
Controls whether BAK files are created when drawing files are saved. (ISAVEBAK system variable)
For information about using backup files, see About Creating and Restoring Backup Files.
Not available in AutoCAD LT
Specifies whether a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) should be performed each time an object is read into the drawing. CRC is an error-checking mechanism. If your drawings are being corrupted and you suspect a hardware problem or a software error, turn this option on.
Writes the contents of the text window to a log file. (LOGFILEMODE system variable, see also LOGFILEPATH and LOGFILENAME)
Specifies a unique extension for temporary save files. The default extension is .ac$.
Provides options for adding a digital signature to a drawing when you save it.
Presents digital signature information when a file with a valid digital signature is opened. (SIGWARN system variable)
Controls settings that relate to recently used files and open files.
Controls the number of recently used files that are listed in the File menu for quick access. Valid values are 0 to 9.
Displays the full path of the active drawing in the drawing's title bar, or in the application window title bar if the drawing is maximized.
Controls the number of recently used files listed in the application menu’s Recent Documents quick menu. Valid values are 0 to 50.
Controls the settings that relate to editing and loading external references.
Turns xref demand-loading on and off, and controls whether it opens the referenced drawing or a copy. (XLOADCTL system variable)
Not available in AutoCAD LT
Controls whether the current drawing can be edited in-place when being referenced by another drawing. (XEDIT system variable)
Not available in AutoCAD LT
Controls settings that relate to AutoCAD Runtime Extension applications and proxy graphics.
Specifies if and when to demand-load certain applications. (DEMANDLOAD system variable)
Controls the display of proxy objects in a drawing. (PROXYSHOW system variable)
Displays a notice when a proxy is created. (PROXYNOTICE system variable)
