System
If you enabled Force User Login on the Multi User tab, you must log in as a
Superuser to edit System options.
Log File Options
Use the System tab to specify system settings.
Log files keep track of error messages and other AutoCAD Map 3D system
messages. If the log file is active, it is updated each time you use AutoCAD
Map 3D. To save space on your disk, you can delete or archive the log file and
start a new one.
Log File Active
Store error messages and other AutoCAD Map 3D system messages in the
log file.
Log File Name
Specify a name for the log file. Click Browse to search through existing
names or to change the drive or directory. If you do not specify a name,
AutoCAD Map 3D creates the acadmap.log file in the current directory.
Message Level
Specify which kind of error messages to store in the log file.
Number Of Drawings Loaded In Memory At Once
Specify the number of drawings that AutoCAD Map 3D can have open in
memory at the same time. This number does not limit the number of active
drawings. AutoCAD Map 3D opens and closes files in memory as it needs
them.
If your system has a lot of memory, you can enter a larger number (up to
200) to make queries faster.
Default Query File Directory
Specify the default directory for queries saved to external files.
Default Cache File Directory
Specify the default directory where your cache files are stored. Click Clear
Cache to enhance performance of AutoCAD Map 3D.
Coordinate Systems tab
Coordinate System Definitions Stored In Drawing
Specify the program behavior when opening drawings that contain coordinate
system definitions. For more information about coordinate systems, see
Assigning Coordinate Systems (page 149).
