Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 - Orphaned objects are deleted
1 - Orphaned objects are placed in an AutoCAD group


* AMAUTOASSEMBLE
Solves each newly created constraint and updates the assembly. If Off, the constraint is solved to check that it is valid, but the assembly is not updated.
Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 Off   1 On


AMAUTOLOCKSCN
Controls whether scenes can be locked.
Initial Value: 1
Possible values:
0 Off   1 On

Initial value: English drawings: 0.11
Metric drawings: 2.8
Possible values:
Only positive real numbers.


AMCLGAP
Controls gaps in centerline annotations.
Initial value:
English drawings: 0.156
Metric drawings: 4
Possible values:
Only positive real numbers.


AMCLOSHT
Controls the length of centerline overshoot beyond an object.
Initial value: English drawings: 0.11
Metric drawings: 2.8
Possible values:
Only positive real numbers.


AMCLPAR
Controls whether the overshoot line length of a centerline is parametrically changed during updates.
Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 Off   1 On


AMCMDDIM
Controls whether dimensions can be selected when sketches are edited.
Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 Off   1 On


* AMCOMPSV
Controls compressed save format for Mechanical Desktop data within a file.
Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 Off   1 On


* AMCONDSPSZ
Controls the height of displayed constraints in a sketch.
Initial value: 5
Possible values:
Integers [1 to 19]


AMDWGCOLOR
Sets the color of part edges and hatch patterns in drawing views. Controls whether hatch patterns, visible edges, hidden edges, or all edge types use the color of the model, or the color of the layer where they reside.
Initial value: 0
Possible integer values:
0 – visible edge, hidden edge, and hatch colors come from their layers.
1 – visible edge color comes from the model; hidden edge and hatch colors come from their layers.
2 - hidden edge color comes from the model; visible edge and hatch colors come from their layers.
3 – visible and hidden edge colors come from the model; hatch color comes from its layer.
4 – hatch color comes from the model; visible and hidden edge colors come from their layers.
5 – visible edge and hatch colors come from the model; hidden edge color comes from their layers.
6 – hidden edge and hatch colors come from the model; visible edge color comes from its layer.
7 – visible edge, hidden edge, and hatch colors come from the model.


AMGRPREFIX
Specifies the prefix name for groups.
Initial value: ASG
Possible values:
Any 3 (string) characters


AMHLCALC
Suppresses or activates hidden line calculations in drawing views.
Initial value: 1
Possible values:
0 - Hidden lines are not removed
1 - Removes hidden lines with full occlusion
