2500Initial value:
Limits the number of objects that can be changed at one time with the ribbon
property controls or a contextual tab.
The valid range is 0 to 32767. When set to 0, the limit is turned off. If the
limit is exceeded, the ribbon property controls and panels will be grayed out.
Selecting a large number of objects and changing them with the Properties
panel or a contextual tab on the ribbon can result in slow response time. This
system variable prevents such an occurrence, especially on a computer with
limited memory.
NOTE The Properties and Quick Properties palettes are not affected by this system
variable, but are limited by the
PROPOBJLIMIT on page 2485 system variable.
