Ever need to see more values in a Ref-to-Class field? The default is 1000.. which sounds like a lot, but when it comes to user lists it is possible to exceed this.

(-1 will give all) Key to search for is "options.MaxObjInReferenceList" Hope this helps! By Scott […]

You can either go to the viewer’s toolbar and select ‘Show/Hide Tree Model’ icon for a 1 time change, or you can do the following to make it default turned […]
One question I have gotten int he past and now again recently is how to display ACAD fonts in my Autoview (Embedded SmarTeam) viewer. So here it goes, Search for your existing AVX.INI file on your local PC.. typically in the root of C:\windows\.. Add the following lines under the [Options] header SHOWFONTS=1 XFONTPATHS=c:\Fonts (or your AutoCAD fonts Path!!)
