Controls whether background publishing uses a single or multiple cores.

Type:Integer
Saved in:Registry

By default, background publishing utilizes multiple cores of your processor to improve the performance of outputting to a:

  • Single sheet DWF/DWFx or PDF file
  • Multi-sheet PDF file

This allows for multiple drawing sheets to be output in parallel and simultaneously.

Note: The BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable must be set to a value of 2 or 3 to utilize more than a single core.
