Configure Advanced Settings - AutoCAD

Under normal circumstances, you should not need to configure the AutoCAD link's advanced settings. They are provided for integration into very specific environments. Change these settings only under the direction of Accruent Technical Support.

In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings.

The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.
Click the AutoCAD tab.

The AutoCAD settings appear in the right pane.
Click Edit.

To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you want to edit the file in another text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.
Locate the section of the file that begins with [Settings] and locate the setting that you want to change from the following table.

If the setting does not exist, you can create it.
Type the value of the setting on the right side of the expression using the syntax:
```
<SettingName>=<Value>
```
Click OK.

The available advanced settings are described in the following table.

Advanced settings
Setting	Description
AcadCallback	A COM object ProgID that provides a callback function. The default is none.
Civil3DHideWCDialog	If set to 1, the user is not prompted to select data shortcuts when the Edit data shortcuts command is run. Working copies of the data shortcuts are made automatically. The default is 0. The drawing must be saved in the vault and the shortcuts synchronized to the vault from the local workspace to enable the Edit data shortcuts command. Upon closing the drawing, the working copies of the shortcuts are not automatically released, which must be done manually. This setting is overridden by the registry value with the same name in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AutoCADLink, which itself is overridden by the same value in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AutoCADLink.
HybridExSearch	If set to 1, when Xref resolution is performed and only one Xref is unresolved, if a hybrid part is attached to but not inserted in the drawing, the Xref is resolved to the hybrid part. The default is 0.
InventorRefSupport	If set to 1, a reference of the type AutoCAD Inventor Reference is created from an AutoCAD drawing to an Inventor model that is inserted in the drawing with the VIEWBASE command as described in Working with Inventor models. The default is 0.
LoadRedlines	By default, redlines are not shown when a document is opened in its authoring application. The user must show them manually as described in View Renditions. If set to 1, this setting forces the redlines to be shown automatically after the document is opened. The default is 0.
NoCustomObject	If set to 1, prevents adding a custom object (AmLoader) to drawings when they are saved. The object is used to force AutoCAD to load the AutoCAD link before loading the drawing. If the link is loaded after the drawing is loaded, some references may not be resolved correctly. The default is 0.
NoRastersExSearch	If set to 1, prevents adding vault information to raster objects extended entity data. This information is used by the link in some cases when opening drawings to locate the raster image in the vault and to get the correct path. The default is 0.
NoSetHookContext	If set to 1, prevents the link from changing the Application Integration context. The default folder of the Application Integration's Open and Save dialogs will then be the folder where it was last used. The default is 0. By default, the link sets the Application Integration context according to the location of the selected document.
NotShowXrefDialog	If set to 1, prevents showing a warning dialog that Xrefs are missing when they are actually present but located outside the vault. By default, Meridian expects all Xrefs to be located within the same vault as the active drawing. The default is 0, and all vault paths selected by the user to specify the locations of unresolved Xrefs will be searched for subsequent missing Xrefs.
ReferencesCheckCircular	Controls circular reference checking and the user's ability to replace all or only individual references: 0: Skips check circular reference checking 1: Check circular references and prompt the user with OK to All and Cancel to ALL buttons. 2: Check circular references with OK and Cancel buttons.
UseDBLock	If set to 1, sets a lock in the vault database when a drawing is opened in AutoCAD. The lock prevents the document's properties from being changed by other users. The lock is removed when the drawing is closed. The default is 0.
