Brad, Is there something that can be done about these regens? I'm going crazy with some of these drawings. Every time I do a zoom p I have to sit through a regen on some drawings. My company has invested over $20,000 in AutoCAD and I can't even do a bloody osnap half the time! Ahhh, I feel better already. Thanks for listening. Dave

David – Well, we'll see what we can do. Thanks for talking to us!

(tsk, tsk) ONLY $20,000? <g> Try around $200,000… but hey, it's progress!

David: If you're in paperspace, you're stuck. Otherwise, try using Zoom Vmax rather than Zoom Previous. Larry

Hi Larry, I do use zoom V, but zoom p is programmed onto one of the buttons on my puck. Zoom V requires me to say *NO*, I DON'T WANT TO REGEN, type zoom v on the keyboard (it's not on my tablet). It's not that big a deal, but it interrupts my concentration and slows me down. Yesterday I was racing to meet a deadline (4 donuts, 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch and 2 for dinner) and it seemed that every other time I preesed the zoom p button I got nailed. Things are much better today. (chocolate covered almonds and pizza) Dave

David: Glad things are better (pizza over donuts *any* day!)… Regarding Zoom Vmax – you shouldn't get the "Do you want to REGEN" option this way – Vmax should automatically zoom to the largest virtual screen that AutoCAD can handle at that time, regardless of whether it was your last display or not. Check it again, I think this is the way it work. Larry
