DWG Options Tab (Saveas Options Dialog Box)
Controls the drawing index and display of custom objects and specifies the
default file format for saving drawings.
Save Proxy Images of Custom Objects
If you save to an earlier drawing file type, or the drawing contains custom
objects from another application, you can select Save Proxy Images of Custom
Objects to save images of the custom objects in the drawing file. If you do not
choose this option, a frame is saved for each custom object in the drawing
file. (PROXYGRAPHICS system variable)
NOTE If you are saving a drawing file that contains DWF references to an earlier
drawing format, this switch has no effect on DWF underlays as they will not appear
as proxy objects or as a frame.
Index Type
Determines whether layer or spatial indexes are created when you save a
drawing. The indexes are used to improve performance during demand loading.
Using indexes may slightly increase the time required to save a drawing.
None Creates neither layer nor spatial indexes when you save a drawing.
