Where did my Grips Go? - Part 1 (A Look at GRIPOBJLIMIT)*Applies to: AutoCAD 2004 and 2005*You might be asking yourself... What happened?
My Grips where just there one minute ago and now they gone.
Never fear, as Grips are not broken or going, but rather they got some
new updates over the last couple of releases. Though some people
would say otherwise as some of the changes have yielded mixed results
from users. I could spend some time talk and/or Griping about
Grips, but maybe it is just a matter of understanding the changes.
One of the biggest changes that happened back in AutoCAD 2004 was the
ability to control the Grips being displayed on screen based on the
number of objects selected.
The System Variable called GRIPOBJLIMIT controls this behavior. As
there is no way to completely turn the feature off, you can adjust the
limit to a larger number. The valid range is 1 to 32767 and by
default it is set to 100. This means if you select 100 objects
or less Grips will be displayed, but if you select 101 objects Grips
won't be displayed. Now there is a way around this. The
workaround is to select at least one object and then the remainder of
the objects that you want to edit with Grips. This will override
the GRIPOBJLIMIT because it sees Grips are already being displayed for
some objects.
Along with using the System Variable GRIPOBJLIMIT to change the value, it
can also be changed under Selection tab of OPTIONS.
Command Line:
Command: gripobjlimit
Enter new value for GRIPOBJLIMIT <100>: 10
