Auto Orient - Zoom to Feature Minimum Distance

autoorient_zoomfeature_min_distance

200

Any integer

Applies to Views that use the Auto Orient 'Zoom to Features'. It can be used in cases where the view zooms to a single feature or closely grouped features so the camera position does not end up too close to the model to be able to tell where the feature is on the part. When set to a larger value, the camera will stop at the set position regardless of what would otherwise be dictated by the zoom on the feature.

The value represents millimeters.

Documents set to Inches automatically re-calculates accordingly during resolve.

Process Change Log Minimum Length

PCLMINLENGTH

10

Any integer

This parameter determines the number of characters that must be entered into the Comments dialog when Process Change Logging is enabled. If this parameter is not added to the Cm4d.ini file, PCL will work as before (requiring the default of at least 10 characters in the Comment dialog.)

Any valid SMTP Server

This value is the e-mail EventSmith Server uses. You can find this value by looking at Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express at the server or any other computer where EventSmith Server is installed. If this server is not set, or cannot connect, the EventSmith Service will not start.
Does not apply if using the default EventSmith SMTP included with the CM4D Server installation.

0

When enabled, timing log files will be generated per session, and, in the case of
DataSmith Batch, per thread.
NOTE: To use the timing log, the "TIMINGLOGFORPERFORMANCE" option must be set to zero  (turned off). The two timing log types cannot be used at the same time.

Timing Log Folder

TIMINGLOGFOLDER
