Table Of Contents
Layer Loads only layers that are on and thawed.
Spatial Loads only the portion of the drawing within a clipped boundary.
Layer & Spatial Optimizes performance by specifying that the program loads
only layers that are on, thawed, and within a clipped boundary area.
Save All Drawings As
Specifies the default file format that drawings are saved to. If you change the
specified value, all subsequent uses of SAVE and QSAVE save the drawing to
the new file format. You can also set this option on the Open and Save tab in
the Options dialog box (see OPTIONS). Set the Save As option to AutoCAD
2007 Drawing to optimize performance while saving.
DXF Options Tab (Saveas Options Dialog Box)
Sets drawing interchange file output options.
Format
Specifies whether the program creates an ASCII or a binary DXF file.
ASCII-format DXF files can be read with a text editor and are compatible with
a wider range of applications. Binary-format DXF files contain all of the
information of an ASCII DXF file but in a more compact form. You can read
and write to binary-format files faster than to ASCII-format files.
For more information about DXF files, see the DXF Reference in the Help system.
Select Objects
Controls whether the DXF file consists of selected objects or the entire drawing.
When you select this option, the output file includes only selected objects
and the block reference portions of any included blocks. The output file does
not include the block definition tables.
Save Thumbnail Preview Image
Specifies whether an image of the drawing is displayed in the Preview area of
the Select File dialog box (RASTERPREVIEW system variable).
