When used at the DIM prompt, STATUS reports the values and descriptions
of all dimensioning system variables.
In addition, STATUS displays the following information.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Model or Paper Space Limits Are Displays the grid limits defined by LIMITS
(page 575). The first line shows the XY coordinate of the limit's lower-left corner,
stored in the
LIMMIN (page 1393) system variable. The second line shows the
XY coordinate of the limit's upper-right corner, stored in the
LIMMAX (page
1393) system variable. The notation Off to the right of the Y coordinate value
indicates that limits checking is set to 0.
Model or Paper Space Uses Displays the drawing extents, which includes all
objects in the database and can exceed the grid limits. The first line shows the
XY coordinate of the lower-left corner of the extents. The second line shows
the XY coordinate of the upper-right corner. The notation Over to the right
of the Y coordinate value indicates that the drawing extends outside the grid
limits.
Display Shows Lists the portion of the drawing extents visible in the current
viewport. The first line shows the XY coordinate of the display's lower-left
corner. The second line shows the XY coordinate of the upper-right corner.
Insertion Base Is Specifies the point used when the drawing is inserted into
another drawing as a block. (
INSBASE (page 1373) system variable)
Snap Resolution Is Sets the snap spacing for the current viewport. (
SNAPUNIT
(page 1484) system variable)
Grid Spacing Is Specifies the grid spacing (X and Y) for the current viewport.
(
GRIDUNIT (page 1346) system variable)
Current Space Shows whether model space or paper space is active.
Current Layout Displays “Model” or the name of the current layout.
Current Layer Sets the current layer. (
CLAYER (page 1229) system variable)
Current Color Sets the color of new objects. (
CECOLOR (page 1224) system
variable)
Current Linetype Sets the linetype of new objects. (CELTYPE (page 1225) system
variable)
