Lazer Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Got asked a question today while doing a demo and while zooming in and out he said "does autocad not have an auto regen", I said "O thats a good question I don't know? it could not be done in version before 2005 I think but maybe now in later versions it can be done i.e 2007". so i'll ask the question to my fellow friends, is there an anyway to get autocad to auto regen as you zoom in and out on the drawing?

zars Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I wondered the same once, but never did a research about it, if anyone knows the answer it would be really useful for some of us. Greets, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 set the AUTOREGEN variable to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Bastiaanse Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 set the AUTOREGEN variable to 1. I think StykFacE means the variable REGENAUTO. But first make sure that the REGENMODE variable is set to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 set the AUTOREGEN variable to 1. I think StykFacE means the variable REGENAUTO. But first make sure that the REGENMODE variable is set to 1. Jokes aside, ok tried this but didnt auto regen as I zoomed in still zagged lines on a circle and had to manual regen. What do these commands do? Edit: there both default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennylove Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 try going to options, display tab, and under the display resolution, change the # for arc and circle smoothness to 10000. hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nice 1 penny that works and if you max out and put 20000 what pushes it to it limits cheers for that 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraftyOne Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Try this, Options->Display->Display Resolution, set them to (From the top) 1000, 1000,0.5,1000. I did this before and everything seems to work a lot better. I'm not sure if it's actually automatically regenerating OR if each circle and polyline has more segments, there for it doesn't break up.

Dana W Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Jokes aside, ok tried this but didnt auto regen as I zoomed in still zagged lines on a circle and had to manual regen. What do these commands do? Edit: there both default settings. Regenmode set to 1 will get you a regen within certain commands, such as draworder. If set to 0, the draworder will not change on the display until a regen command is executed. I don't have a regenauto in LT, but I remember in full version 2007, there was apparently a variable that if set the right way would execute a regen when changing spaces or layouts. Can't remember it. 2007 was new at the time I used it for an employer. I do remember that we had it turned off, because the regen would make it take several wasted seconds to change layouts in some larger drawings.

You can set this on the SYSTEM tab in OPTIONS, there is no named System Variable for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 So, apart from changing with the screen resolution, is there a way to make AutoCAD automagically regen and not having to type RE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 As far as I am aware, no. It isn't that hard to type regen though. I might do it half a dozen times a week if that unless I am working on a huge file or complex geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
