NOTE
If a palette has been turned back on manually and moved, it is not affected
by SHOWPALETTES.
The placement of palettes can be changed by dragging them on screen. You
can control the location a palette is docked by dragging it to the edge of the
screen and dropping it when you see a blue bar. You can also drag and drop
palettes on a palette that is already docked.
Use RESETPALETTES to return all palettes to their default placement.
Performance Tuning
Performance tuning examines your graphics card and display driver and
determines whether to use software or hardware implementation for features
that support both.
Features that cannot work properly on your system are turned off. Some
features may work but not be recommended for use with your graphics card
or 3D graphics display driver. Enable these features at your own risk. For
information on the options available, see -3DCONFIG.
Graphics Caching
Graphics cache files are created and maintained to optimize performance and
increase the regeneration speed of objects with complex geometry such as 3D
solids, non-mesh surfaces, and regions. These cache files persist between
drawing sessions and are saved in /Users/<user name>/Library/Application
Support/Autodesk/local/<product name>/<release>/<language>/GraphicsCache. The
maximum number of these cache files are limited in number and total size
by the CACHEMAXFILES and CACHEMAXTOTALSIZE system variables. If the
limits are exceeded, the oldest cache files are automatically deleted.
NOTE If you ever need to delete the graphics cache files, you can temporarily set
CACHEMAXFILES or CACHEMAXTOTALSIZE to 0.
Customize Startup
Command line switches can be used to control how the program is started
from the Terminal window or a shell script.
