editing the rest of the figure. This keeps memory consumption down and speeds up

Read the AutoCAD Manuals
The AutoCAD manuals have an excellent section on performance, concentrating on
memory usage. To get the most performance out of the program, read the appropriate
sections of those manuals as well as this one.
Tips and Tricks
This section includes the topics "Upgrading From Older Panacea DLD Drivers" and
"Maneuvering Through AutoCAD." These topics provide tips and tricks for using
TurboDLD
Classic more successfully.
Upgrading From Older Panacea DLD Drivers
Be sure to remove any reference to previous DLD driver commands (FASTACAD calls
or SET parameters) or sub-directories that may be in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or in
AutoCAD start-up batch files. Such references could cause AutoCAD and
TurboDLD
Classic to look in the wrong place for setup information.
If you have been using a previous Panacea DLD driver and wish to use the color palette
you customized for it with TurboDLD
Classic, you may copy the DLDCOLOR.DAT file
from your older DLD's sub-directory to the sub-directory you specified during the
TurboDLD
Classic installation process.
Maneuvering Through AutoCAD
The following topics provide techniques for maneuvering more successfully through
AutoCAD when using it in conjunction with TurboDLD
Classic.
Zooming
When zooming into an image, be aware of your AutoCAD grid snap setting. If you are
zoomed extremely far into a drawing and you are having trouble moving your digitizer
cursor, you may be snapping to a point that is not part of the zoomed viewport. If the
cursor only moves to a single point, or is not on screen at all, turn the grid snap off.
TurboDLD
Classic and Paper Space
TurboDLD
Classic features do not work in AutoCAD's Paper Space. The execution of
any TurboDLD
Classic command in Paper Space results in an error message at the
command prompt.
