AcadBaseConfig1

DWORD

Controls the functionality provided by the AutoCAD link:

0 — basic AutoCAD link features only

1 — basic AutoCAD link features plus sheet set support (default)

2 — basic AutoCAD link features plus plain drawing asset management support (not for use with AutoCAD P&ID or AutoCAD Plant 3D)

3 — enable all AutoCAD link features

32 — enable the Synchronize All Data Shortcuts to Vault command in the AutoCAD Civil 3D application link

To learn more about the Synchronize All Data Shortcuts to Vault command, see Data Shortcuts.

AcadPnIDConfig1

DWORD

Controls the P&ID functionality provided by the AutoCAD link. This setting requires AutoCAD P&ID or AutoCAD Plant 3D.

0 — P&ID project features only (default)

ButtonsForAll

DWORD

If set to 1, shows OK to All and Cancel to All buttons in the confirmation dialog box that appears when a user invokes the Sync Tag Hotspot command on a selection of documents and one or more of the documents has circular references.

By default, the dialog box will appear once for every document in the selection that has circular references so that the user can decide what to do with each document. This setting allows the user to apply their response to all of the problem documents in the selection at one time.

The default is 0, which does not show the batch response buttons.

Civil3DSyncType1,2

DWORD

Controls the synchronization of the folder specified for Civil3DSyncWorkingFolder:

1 — synchronize to the local working folder (on drawing open)

2 — synchronize to the vault (on drawing close)

4 — ask the user before synchronization

8— synchronize only once per AutoCAD session

Civil3DSyncWorkingFolder1,2

DWORD

If this value is 1, synchronizes the entire folder that is specified as the working folder in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

If this value is 0 (default), only the data shortcuts folder is synchronized.

By default, the AutoCAD link updates mapped title block attributes automatically depending on the settings configured for the vault. This value provides additional control over when title block attribute updates occur.

The possible values are:

0 — perform all automatic updates (default)

Controls the generation of thumbnail images during link updates.

If this value is 0 (default), thumbnails are not saved.

Important!

If this value is 1 and thumbnail generation fails for any reason, it could prevent property synchronization, which could be more important.

DocAccessUseTmpFileOnSave

2 — ignored.

3 — automatic upload is enabled on document close only. A new Upload Document button is added to the Meridian ribbon. This button is visible in remote mode only, and is enabled after the first save of the document.
