Summary
All coordinates and distances are displayed by STATUS in the format specified
by UNITS.
STATUS reports the number of objects in the current drawing. This includes
graphical objects such as arcs and polylines, and nongraphical objects such
as layers and linetypes, and block definitions.
In addition to overall drawing statistics and settings, the amount of installed
memory free on your system, the amount of disk space available, and the
amount of free space in the swap file are also listed.
When used at the DIM prompt, STATUS reports the values and descriptions
of all dimensioning system variables.
In addition, STATUS displays the following information.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Model or Paper Space Limits Are Displays the grid limits defined by LIMITS.
The first line shows the XY coordinate of the limit's lower-left corner, stored
in the LIMMIN system variable. The second line shows the XY coordinate of
the limit's upper-right corner, stored in the LIMMAX system variable. The
notation Off to the right of the Y coordinate value indicates that limits
checking is set to 0.
Model or Paper Space Uses Displays the drawing extents, which includes all
objects in the database and can exceed the grid limits. The first line shows the
XY coordinate of the lower-left corner of the extents. The second line shows
the XY coordinate of the upper-right corner. The notation Over to the right
of the Y coordinate value indicates that the drawing extends outside the grid
limits.
Display Shows Lists the portion of the drawing extents visible in the current
viewport. The first line shows the XY coordinate of the display's lower-left
corner. The second line shows the XY coordinate of the upper-right corner.
Insertion Base Is Stores the insertion base point set by BASE, which gets
expressed as a UCS coordinate for the current space.
(INSBASE system variable)
Snap Resolution Is Sets the snap spacing for the current viewport.
(SNAPUNIT system variable)
Grid Spacing Is Specifies the grid spacing (X and Y) for the current viewport.
