Regen
Use the Regen command to regenerate all the geometry in the drawing.Use theRegenall command
to regenerate all the geometry when there are multiple drawing viewports.When you regenerate
the drawing, the screen coordinates for all objects in the drawing are recomputed and the drawing
database is reindexed for optimal display performance.
Command Access
Regen
Command Line: RE, REGEN, REGENALL
Automatic Drawing Regeneration
By default, when you create a new drawing, the REGENMODE system variable is set
to 1. Thisenables the drawing to regenerate automatically whenever you perform an
action that requires regeneration.
Guidelines When Regenerating Large Drawings
■ Because regeneration recalculates the screen coordinates for all objects in the drawing, it usually
takes longer to regenerate large drawings than smaller ones.
■ If you experience performance decreases on larger drawings, consider setting REGENMODE = 0 to
prevent automatic regeneration. You can manually regenerate the drawing when you need to.
