Option Description
Ignore entities of
type ….
It may make sense for your models to mask off certain entity types. This
set of check boxes allows you to filter the basic entity types used by
AutoCAD. Depending on your version of AutoCAD, some boxes may be
grayed.
Note: Entity selection is another method you can use to exclude parts of
your model from the rendering. Both methods may be combined.
Deviation QuadroView can adapt the precision of the rendered model to your
requirements. The deviation defines the maximum allowed error for
rendering curved areas on the screen.
The deviation has a significant impact on the amount of geometry data to
be rendered and thus the performance, in terms of memory consumption
and speed. Use it carefully! The smoother the deviation, the lower the
rendering performance.
Coordinate System This group panel gives you control over the coordinate system helpers, 3D
representations of the AutoCAD world coordinate system (WCS), and
user coordinate system (UCS) that are displayed in the Viewer. Each
coordinate system can be displayed by a colored icon at the Origin, a grid
plane from Origin to Limits, or both.
The grid density is adjustable (drawing units). If UCS is identical to WCS,
the UCS display is suppressed.

Wireframe
You can choose from AutoCAD Wireframe mode (Isolines) or
QuadroView Wireframe (Mesh).
AutoCAD Wireframe has an impact on the amount of geometry data to be
rendered. This, in turn, has a significant impact on the rendering and
overall system performance. Therefore, we strongly recommend you use
the QuadroView Wireframe mode!
Default The Default button restores all values to their standard settings.
