AutoCAD Options settings

[rocneasta]

I've just discovered that AutoCAD doesn't save some of the settings in it's options dialog - things like Contour lines per surface, and Draw true silhouettes for solids and surfaces...

 

Making a profile doesn't affect it, nor simply setting it and closing it down. Is it something that was from back when i started with CAD R14 just that i failed to notice, or is it something new.

 

system variable dependable?

Is this it? I am only running 2d LT but seems it might be.

 

Tools -> Options -> Didplay -> Display Resolution. Controls arc and circle smoothness, and number of segments in a polyline curve.

it is, but my question was why doesn't it save when setting the desired number. Profile that i saved doesn't affect it unfortunately nor it saves the values upon exiting and restoring the programme

You need to select "save changes to workspace"

The VIEWRES setting is saved in your drawing file. If you want to set the default for new drawings, you should specify the VIEWRES setting in your template files.

[rocneasta]

setting it in template is yet again only affecting the files opened via that particular template. Hmmm

 

Tnx lads.

If you set VIEWRES in a drawing, then save and close it, when you open that drawing again, your VIEWRES setting should still be applied. But if you open a different drawing, the setting you used in the previous drawing will not be applied because you have to set it independently for each drawing.
