Esri_Config

Set application options to display or suppress the ArcGIS for AutoCAD product splash screen when the software loads and control over the densification of points when curves are synchronized with web feature layers.

Command prompts

Densify-curves | Enter the character D to specify whether curves should be densified (also known as tessellated) before synchronization with a web feature layer. You may want to use this configuration to override the default behavior of supporting curves to conform your editing session for all web feature layers when you do not want to create curved features even though the layers may technically support those curves.

Splashscreen| Enter the character S to specify whether the ArcGIS for AutoCAD splash screen will display when the software is loaded.

Hatch outline | Enter the character H to specify whether hatch outlines will be drawn. After the selection is made, to see the changes on the map, use the AutoCAD Regen command to regenerate the drawing, which will update the hatch outline based on the selected option.
