"Oversized Item" dialog box - option to suppress/ignore always??

[Anonymous]

In our CAD department, we often run into "Oversized Item" dialog boxes, which we alway ignore or esc out of.  It would be great to have an option/variable to prevent those from popping up.  We never end up editing it in AutoCAD (perhaps the Shop may need it in CAMduct) so it's a wasted step on our end.  It's not so bad if there are only one or two oversized pieces, but generally if there's one, there's many and thus many pop-ups to wade through.  Seems to happen when we PRINTREPORTS for review before creating .maj for the shop and when we EXECUTEPROCCESS.

There are a couple of switches in the database already, one will suppress all checking and the other will apply the setting you have configured without prompting.

Unfortunately, our CAD department and Fab Shop share a database, so we cannot utilize either of those settings to suppress the Oversized Item dialog boxes for the CAD department, without forcing those settings on the FAB Shop.  What I was requesting was a way to allow our CAD department to ignore always when they are using AutoCAD CADmep, but still alow the FAB Shop see and utilize those windows as they need to in CAMduct.  The Auto-set also is unusable as it forces 1 seam for all, which is an issue when it comes to standard versus welded services.

Any threads I could find regarding this made it seem as those this was a common issue - the either/or, on/off solution just doesn't really address the issue, especially in regards to shared database settings.

Actually its already taken care of, enable the Auto Oversize in Local setting, then the other switches are saved locally (indicated in Green)
