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 BlueCielo Technical Support.
The available advanced settings are described in the following table.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
|
AcadCallback |
A COM object ProgID that provides a callback function. The default is none. For more information, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Developer’s Guide. |
|
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 the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide. 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. By default, the link sets the Application Integration context according to the location of the selected document. The default is 0. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
