    Improve Redraw Rate In promis•e for AutoCAD [FAQ]

    Document Information

    Document Type: FAQ 

    Product(s): promis•e V8i, promis•e 2007

    Version(s): All

    Original Author: Matt_P

     

    While a symbol or macro is at the mouse cursor for placement, it will be redrawn whenever the mouse is moved. For large symbols and macros, this can take some time and can be annoying.

    To improve the rate at which the items are redrawn, increase the values for the AutoCAD system variables DRAGP1 and DRAGP2. The default values may vary based on the AutoCAD version being used and you can experiment with different values until satisfied.  Increasing the values to at least 50 is recommended. To do this type the following at the AutoCAD command prompt:

    DRAGP1 50

    DRAGP2 50

    Note: these are AutoCAD variables, not promis•e variables, and affect plain AutoCAD as well.  In other words, this is not a problem caused by promis•e.  Consult AutoCAD help for details.
