List of Options
The following options are displayed.
File Save
Controls settings related to saving a file.
Save As
Displays the valid file formats used when saving a file with SAVE, SAVEAS,
QSAVE,
SHAREWITHSEEK on page 1735 and WBLOCK. The file format selected
for this option becomes the default format for saving drawings.
NOTE AutoCAD 2004 is the drawing file format used by the AutoCAD 2004,
AutoCAD 2005, and AutoCAD 2006 releases. AutoCAD 2007 is the file format
used by AutoCAD 2007, AutoCAD 2008, and AutoCAD 2009 releases.
Maintain Visual Fidelity for Annotative Objects
Controls whether the drawing is saved with visual fidelity.
(
SAVEFIDELITY on page 2519 system variable)
Annotative objects may have multiple . Annotative objects are decomposed
and scale representations are saved to separate layers, which are named based
on their original layer and appended with a number.
NOTE Enabling Maintain Visual Fidelity for Annotative Objects only impacts
drawings saved to a legacy drawing file format (AutoCAD 2007 and earlier).
Maintain Drawing Size Compatibility
Controls large object size limit support when you open and save drawings.
(LARGEOBJECTSUPPORT on page 2391 system variable)
Thumbnail Preview Settings
Displays the Thumbnail Preview Settings dialog box, which controls whether
thumbnail previews are updated when the drawing is saved.
Incremental Save Percentage
Sets the percentage of potentially wasted space in a drawing file. Full saves
eliminate wasted space. Incremental saves are faster, but they increase the size
of the drawing.
(ISAVEPERCENT system variable)
If you set Incremental Save Percentage to 0, every save is a full save. For
optimum performance, set the value to 50. If hard disk space becomes an
issue, set the value to 25. If you set the value to 20 or less, performance of the
SAVE and SAVEAS commands slows significantly.
