Title: regen???
Post by: ELOQUINTET on December 08, 2003, 01:55:58 PM

hey i'm workin on this guys drawings and always have regen problems when opening, switching layouts, printing, etc. etc. i think it has to do with the fact that he uses excessive viewports. i purged the drawings and they seem pretty clean. in options/system  i set it to regen when switching layouts. is there anything else i can do to speed things up. strangle the guy is not an option as we've already fired him  :lol:

You know what bothers me is when I'm trying to help someone thats used a computer for more than 2 years and when I say "I want you to highlight and copy the selection and paste it there" and they reply back with "How do i copy and paste?"

It probably won't speed things up but REGENALL can be nice when dealing with multiple viewports

Another option rather than using the REGEN command,to refresh the drawing on the screen, is to delete the objects on the screen that require regenerating and then select Undo. Objects that are recovered from AutoCAD's database are refreshed as they're placed back on the screen. This will take less time than full a regen.Have you also looked the REGENMODE system variable?It will eitherb turn REGENAUTO on or off.

I have a small lisp that regens only what you pick and not the whole drawing.  If your interested and it'll work for you.?.

Hangman....
Does it work with 3D objects?  I'd be curious to see it.

Title: Partial Regen ...
Post by: Hangman on December 10, 2003, 04:55:08 PM

Here's the code you requested    :wink:

Code: [Select]


;This allows partial regens of individual entities
(defun c:RE (/ count entity set set_length)
   (prompt "\nSelect entitie(s) to regenerate: ")
   (setq set (ssget))
   (setq set_length (sslength set))
   (setq count 0)
   (while (< count set_length)
      (setq entity (ssname set count))
      (entupd entity)
      (setq count (1+ count))
   )
 (princ)
)
