206 | Chapter 14 Control the Properties of Objects
Control the Display Properties of Certain
Objects
You can control how overlapping objects and certain other objects are
displayed and plotted.
Control the Display of Polylines, Hatches,
Gradient Fills, Lineweights, and Text
The display performance of AutoCAD is improved when wide polylines and
donuts, solid-filled polygons (two-dimensional solids), hatches, gradient
fills, and text are displayed in simplified form. Simplified display also
increases the speed of creating test plots.
Turn Off Solid Fill
When you turn off Fill mode, wide polylines, solid-filled polygons, gradient
fill, and hatches are displayed in outline form. Except for patterned hatches
and gradient fills, solid fill is automatically turned off for hidden view and
nonplan views in three dimensions.
Use Quick Text
When you turn on Quick Text mode in drawings that contain a lot of text
using complex fonts, only a rectangular frame defining the text is displayed
or plotted.
