"About to regen -- proceed"

[Anonymous]

Can I somehow switch that warning off so Autocad would regenerate every time
without asking?

thx in advance,

Look at the REGENAUTO command.

From AutoCAD Help:

On:
Regenerates the drawing immediately if any suppressed regenerations exist in
the queue and continues to regenerate automatically whenever you perform an
action that requires regeneration.

Off:
Inhibits regeneration of the drawing until you use theREGEN orREGENALL
command, or set REGENAUTO to on.
If you perform an action that requires a regeneration and that action is
irrevocable (such as thawing layers), AutoCAD displays Regen queued on the
command line.
If you perform an action that requires a regeneration and that action is
revocable, AutoCAD displays the following message:
About to regen-proceed?
If you choose OK, AutoCAD regenerates the drawing. If you choose Cancel,
AutoCAD cancels the last action that you performed and does not regenerate
the drawing.

Lukas,
Setvar Expert Controls whether certain prompts are issued.
0/ Issues all prompts normally.
1/ Suppresses "About to regen, proceed?" and "Really want to turn the current layer off?".........................
2/ Suppresses the preceding prompts and "Block already defined. Redefine it?" (BLOCK) and "A drawing with this name already exists. Overwrite it?" (SAVE or WBLOCK)........
3/ Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by the LINETYPE command if you try to load a linetype that's already loaded or create a new linetype in a file that already defines that linetype...............................
4/ Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by UCS Save and VPORTS Save if the name you supply already exists.
5/Suppresses the prompt, "That name is already in Use, redefine it?" issued by the -DIMSTYLE Save option when you supply the name of an existing dimension style.............
........................................................
When a prompt is suppressed by EXPERT, the operation in question is performed as though you entered y at the prompt. Setting EXPERT can affect scripts, menu macros, AutoLISP, and the command functions. "Papa" Joe

if you have express tools, the System Variable Editor will give you all the info papa just did about the EXPERT command/sysvar. one other note: it's not a saved variable (meaning you'll have to reset the value for EXPERT to what you want every time you start autocad unless you run some kind of routine to do it at startup.)
