As a veteran AutoCAD user (this year marks 36 years!) I always have a few settings I change whenever I open a new version for the first time. Among my usual suspects are PICKBOX<\/a>, OSMODE<\/a>, and CURSORSIZE<\/a>. I\u2019ll also open the Palettes<\/a> I like and anchor them in my preferred positions, left or right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it occurred to me that while we vets know about such things, it stands to reason that newer users aren\u2019t even aware that some of these controls exist. While writing my last post on Zoom Options<\/a>, I was reminded of another System Variable<\/a> that I always set right off the bat. It\u2019s called VTENABLE<\/a>, and it\u2019s also the subject of today\u2019s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is VTENABLE? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s break down the name. The VT part is short for View Transitions. Take those letters away and you have the word ENABLE. If you\u2019re playing along at home, you\u2019ve probably already figured out that it enables something called \u201cview transitions.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“OK, Frank,” you might be saying\u2026\u201cI get it, but what are view transitions?” To explain, let\u2019s say you\u2019re using Zoom Window<\/a>, or more likely, Zoom Extents<\/a>. You know how your drawing will shrink or expand as it goes from the first view to the second? Those are called View Transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/a>
Zooming with View Transitions ON<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While they\u2019re really cool, this dinosaur would prefer to have the new view display instantly. That\u2019s where VTENABLE comes in. I don\u2019t want to watch it zoom in or out, just give me the view! (I guess that little slice of time is precious at my age). Its default value is 3, but I set it to 0 (zero) to turn the whole thing off. Plus, it\u2019s a registry setting so it stays set for any drawing I open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a chart of the possible values and what they do. It can be set anywhere between 0 and 7, but you\u2019d have a hard time remembering what each setting controls (other than 0, which turns everything off).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"VTENABLE<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the good news. There\u2019s a better way. AutoCAD has a companion command called VTOPTIONS<\/a>. It\u2019s not in the Ribbon<\/a> anywhere, so you have to use the Command Line<\/a> to run it. When you do, you\u2019ll get the dialog box as seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the check boxes control the settings of the previous chart, and they in turn control the value of VTENABLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"VTOPTIONS<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are even some handy sliders to control the Transition Speed (should you choose to use transitions) and the Performance, or the minimum frames per second of the transitions. These two sliders set the variables VTDURATION<\/a> and VTFPS<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/a>
Zooming with View Transitions OFF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pretty cool stuff, huh? I\u2019d be willing to bet that most AutoCAD beginners aren\u2019t aware of these settings. I\u2019d also be willing to bet that at least some of them would like to just get to the next view instead of watching AutoCAD doing it. With the VTOPTIONS command, you can take control of how you get from view to view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and in case you\u2019re curious, I set PICKBOX up to 4, my OSMODE is 679, and yes, this old-timer prefers his CURSORSIZE at 100 \u2013 or full screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also like to set WHIPPERSNAPPERMODE* mode to 0 which will keep those pesky kids off my lawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Not a real AutoCAD variable<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
