List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Notification Settings

Sets an option for notification about standards violations.

Disable Standards Notifications: Turns off notifications for standards violations and for missing standards files.
Display Alert upon Standards Violation: Turns on notification for standards violations in the current drawing. An alert is displayed when you commit a standards violation. (STANDARDSVIOLATION system variable)

The alert informs you of how many nonstandard objects you created or edited while making changes to the drawing. Once the alert is displayed, you can choose whether to fix the standards violation.

For drawings that use scripts and LISP routines, the alert is not displayed until the script or routine has been completed.
Display Standards Status Bar Icon: Displays an icon in the status bar when you open a file associated with a standards file and when you create or modify non-standard objects. (STANDARDSVIOLATION system variable)

Check Standards Settings

Sets options for fixing violations and ignoring problems.

Automatically Fix Non-standard Properties: Switches between automatically fixing or not fixing nonstandard objects if a recommended fix is available. Recommended fixes are available only when a nonstandard object has a name that matches a standard object, but different properties.

In this case, the properties of the standard object are applied to the nonstandard object. The Checking Complete alert summarizes the number of automatically fixed violations that occur after an audit.

This option is set for each system and applies to all drawings checked on a system.
Show Ignored Problems: Switches between displaying or not displaying problems that have been flagged as ignored. If this option is checked, standards violations that have been flagged as ignored are displayed when an audit is performed on the current drawing.
Preferred Standards File to Use for Replacements: Provides a list of standards files that control the default selection in the Replace With list in the Check Standards dialog box.

Regardless of this setting, if a recommended replacement is found (this is the replacement preceded by a check mark), it is always the default selection. If no recommended replacement is found when a standards file (DWS) is selected in the CAD Standards Settings dialog box, the default selection in the Replace With list is the first replacement item from the selected standards file. If this setting is set to None, and no recommended replacement is found, no items will be selected in the Replace With list.
