This new release leverages Object DBX technology allowing object data created in Autodesk Building Systems 2006 and earlier releases to be accessed outside the Building Systems environment.Object Enablers are freeware applications distributed to Autodesk customers at no charge for the purpose of fully accessing AEC drawing files. They enable the following Autodesk products to access the AEC objects stored in your drawings.

The Enabler "wakes up" the AEC objects enabling full use of the AutoCAD LT and DWG Viewer environment with support for AEC multiple display representations. With the Building Systems 2006 LT Object Enabler installed you can load any file created with Autodesk Building Systems and see exactly the same object display created in Autodesk Building Systems.øÎÅ @* "€€6Œ˜š‚€‚ÿUse of the Building Systems 2006 LT Object Enabler can reduce or eliminate the need to store proxy graphics. File sizes are smaller, and drawing compatibility is improved. For example, an AutoCAD LT 2006 user can load an AEC drawing and experience exactly the same behavior of objects using object snaps or many of the other standard AutoCAD LT commands such as MOVE, COPY or ROTATE. Installing the Building Systems 2006 LT Object Enabler will not significantly impact the performance of the host program. The Building Systems 2006 LT Object Enabler requires less than 15 MB of additional disk space. Files required will take storage space on your hard drive, and will only be accessed when AEC objects are present.î @ý Kî W@16D†W@@ŠGOverview of Proxy GraphicsF @@) "€:€6˜ˆ˜š‚€‚ÿOverview of Proxy GraphicsCW@àC+ $€1€6Œ˜š‚€‚‚ÿAutodesk Building Systems uses object technology to represent ducts, piping, plumbing, and other building system components. These objects are stored in your drawing (DWG) files. To access them, you must run Building Systems, Architectural Desktop, or an equivalent ObjectARX® application capable of reading Autodesk's AEC objects. Proxy graphics provide an alternative means to display objects using simple graphical representations. Objects represented as proxy graphics lack the full "intelligence" of true objects. You cannot modify a proxy object. Examples of this are moving a door within a wall, or adjusting a duct fitting. AutoCAD uses this mechanism for DWG file compatibility with AutoCAD (if the custom application is not loaded) and other applications which share DWG files.­o@F> J€ß€6Œ˜š‚€€ëÎÌl¼€‰€‚‚ÿNote: If you are sharing files with AutoCAD LT or DWG Viewer users, a better alternative to proxy graphics is to have the AutoCAD LT or DWG Viewer users install the Autodesk Building Systems 2006 LT Object Enabler. To share Building Systems drawings using proxy graphics successfully, it is important to understand the multiple display representations of Building Systems objects and how they are stored as proxy graphics. Each object can store a single proxy representation. Therefore it is important to configure your work session to be sure the file you are saving displays correctly in the shared application. ý àCŠG] ˆ€A€6Œ˜š‚€‚ë„?ÓU€‰€‚ëF‚E €‰€‚ë&æ뀉€‚ÿWhat do you want to do?Save your drawing with proxy graphics Configure AutoCAD LT to display proxy graphics Building Systems Performance Tips V%FàG1–€+‰àG1H–KSave your Drawing with Proxy GraphicsQ(ŠG1H) "€P€6˜ˆ˜š‚€‚ÿSave your Drawing with Proxy Graphics,àG]H) "€€6Œ˜š‚€‚ÿþ®1H[JP n€]€vŒàš:‚`€‚€ƒ€€‚ƒ€€‚ƒ€€‚ƒ€€‚ƒ‚ÿTo save your drawing with proxy graphics1At the command line, type PROXYGRAPHICS.2Type 1 to set the variable to true.
