Specifies how the display list is updated in the Model tab and layout tabs.įor each tab, the display list is updated either by regenerating the drawing when you switch to that tab or by saving the display list to memory and regenerating only the modified objects when you switch to that tab. Turns on the correct draw order of objects, and turns on draw order inheritance. Turns on draw order inheritance: new objects created from another object using the commands listed above are assigned the draw order of the original object. Turns on the default draw order of objects: after objects are edited, they are automatically displayed according to the correct draw order. The commands that are affected by inheritance are BREAK, FILLET, HATCH, HATCHEDIT, EXPLODE, TRIM, JOIN, PEDIT, and OFFSET. Use this setting to improve the speed of editing operations in large drawings. This setting also turns off draw order inheritance: new objects that are created from another object using the commands listed below are not assigned the draw order of the original object. Turns off the default draw order of overlapping objects: after objects are edited, regardless of their draw order, the objects are displayed on top until a drawing is regenerated (REGEN) or reopened.
Info: Full draw order display may slow some editing operations. Disable one or more system variables which may impact graphics performance: See Improving AutoCAD performance with older or low-end graphics cardsĬontrols the default display behavior of overlapping objects when they are created or edited.Choose coordinates close to the origin when loading drawings via XREF. If so, use the MOVE command to relocate the data closer to the origin. Determine whether any data or XREFs are located far from the origin. Use the UCSICON command to activate the origin in the drawing.Examine highly nested blocks and consider exploding and purging them.
