Default position is Top.
|

|
Black Background -> White
|
Whether you open a DGN or DWG file and create an overlay file or
open an existing overlay file, by default, the view automatically opens with a
light blue background (RGB 185, 209, 234).
|
Preserve Aspect Ratio
|
If on, the product attempts to open views based on
the aspect ratio of views from the last saved version. It only applies if you
have changed the size of the product's application area since saving a file.
The default is off.
|
Anti-alias Lines
|
If on, angled lines appear smoother (jagged edges
are smoothed) in views.
- Auto-Detect —
Automatically detect and turn on hardware antialiasing if available.
- On — Turns on
antialiasing.

Line Weights
|
Opens the
Line
Weights Translation dialog, which is used to set the display width (in
pixels) for each of the 32 line weights.
|
Update Refresh
|
Sets the frequency (in seconds) that the display is
refreshed during updates. The default is 1.0.
|
Frame Rate for View Tools (frames/sec)
|
Sets the minimum number of frames per second during
viewing operations. Higher values mean less information may be displayed, or
drawn, per frame.
Changing the Frame Rate to a lower number causes more items to
display but if you assign a number that is too low, you will not have smooth
motion.
|
Gamma Correction
|
Affects the brightness of rendered images on the
Right/primary (and, if present, a Left/secondary) screen.
Gamma correction compensates for the spectral
characteristics of the display or printer. The default value of
1.7
is close to ideal for
most monitors. The valid range is 0.1 to 3.0.
Increasing the Gamma Correction setting has the
effect of lightening images; decreasing it darkens images. A change in this
preference is effective the next time a view is updated.
|
Dynamics
|
Sets the amount of transparency used to display
elements in dynamics. This is particularly useful when working in shaded views.
The default setting is moderately opaque.
|
Auto-Locate
|
Set the amount of transparency in the Element
Highlight Color used to flash (highlight) elements for auto-locate
(the
Element Highlight Color is set in the Color item of the Design File Settings
dialog.)
When set to Opaque, highlighted elements appear in
the Element Highlight Color. As you move the slider towards Clear,
progressively less of the highlight color and more of the original element
color is seen in the highlight color.
The default is moderately clear.
|
Auto-Locate Display Thin Edges in Overlay
|
If on,
(the
default) auto-locate displays the edges of elements as they are
highlighted in views.
With
setting enabled, edges are displayed for highlighted elements in the
view.
|
No Animation On View Rotation
