proxy graphics

[HECO]

I'm trying to find out how to turn the proxy infomation box off so that it
does not pop up
on screen everytime the drawing is opened. If it cannot be disabled is
there any way to
go back and fix the problem with the last command that created the proxy.

all information will be helpful, thanks.

Add the following to you acad.lsp

(setvar "PROXYGRAPHICS" 1)
;Specifies whether images of proxy objects are saved in the drawing.
;0 not saved, 1 saved

;;;If the Proxy warning is annoying you, you can turn it off.

(setvar "PROXYNOTICE" 0)
;A proxy is created when you open a drawing containing custom objects created
;0 no proxy warning, 1 proxy warning

;;;Ensure that proxyshow is enabled to display proxy objects

(setvar "PROXYSHOW" 1)
;Controls the display of proxy objects in a drawing.
;0 objects not displayed, 1 objects displayed, 2 object bounding box only

Try Tools > Preferences and select the 'Compatibility' tab.

There is a checkbox there to allow you to turn the information box on and off. There are also
options on the display of proxy images for custom objects.

Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take
the time to take the dirt out of them?

> Hello,

I think this information can be useful. It is from the online help included
with R14. They are the variables that help deal with proxy objects.

1) Proxyshow
Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 1

Controls the display of proxy objects in a drawing.

0 Proxy objects are not displayed
1 Graphic images are displayed for all proxy objects
2 Only the bounding box is displayed for all proxy objects

2)Proxynotice
Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 1

Displays a notice when a proxy is created. A proxy is created when you open a
drawing containing custom objects created by an application that is not
present. A proxy is also created when you issue a command that unloads a
custom object's parent application.

0 No proxy warning is displayed
1 Proxy warning is displayed

3) Proxygraphics
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 1

Specifies whether images of proxy objects are saved in the drawing.

0 Image is not saved with the drawing; a bounding box is displayed instead
1 Image is saved with the drawing

Hope this answers your question.
