عالم ادسنس الواسع

اخواني ما جعلني اكتب هذا الموضوع نقاط كثيرة لاحظتها لديكم اولا والحمدلله انا لي خبرة كبيرة بالتعامل مع ادسنس تفوق الثلاث سنوات تقريبا وواكبت جميع مراحل تطور هذا النظام الذكي بداياتي مع ادسنس كنت استغل الكلمات المفتاحية للموقع لجلب اعلانات مستهدفة ...فتجدني املىء الموقع بكلمات الفوركس والماركيتنغ والان سورينس حتى يجلبهم لي كود ادسنس فسعر النقرة كبير لهذه الكلمات لكن مع المدة تغير نظام جوجل كثيرا واصبح اكثر تعقيدا ولم يعد ساذجا لكي افتتح مدونة مجانية املئها بمئة موضوع عن الفوركس وبعدها احصل على عدد نقرات محدود بقيمة عالية هذا كله اصبح من الماضي البعيد ماذا تبدل ؟ اليوم اخواني نلاحظ الكثير من المواقع والبرامج التي تمنحكم الكلمات الاعلى قيمة في نقرات ادسنس مثلا الكلمة التالية حسب برنامج كي لايت وعدة مواقع اخرى قيمتها 30 دولار للنقرة  purchase structured settlements حسنا ماذا سنستفيد نحن من هذه الكلمة والله والحق يقال اخواني قديما كانت كلمة كهذه تاتيني تقريبا ب 150 دولار شهريا فقط ن عدد زيارت محدود مستهدف يعني زواري شهريا لا يتجاوزون 500 بعدد نقرات محدود لكن الان لا يوجد اي فائدة ترجى منها انظروا المدونة التالية للتوضيح صنعتها فقط بموضوع واحد هو الكلمة السابقة http://pssu.blogspot.com/ كنت اريد اثبات ما توصلت اليه والحمدلله الان استطيع ان اخبركم انني كنت على حق فسعر النقرة فيها لم يتجاوز 5 سنتات تغيرت سياسة جوجل اخواني الكلمة السابقة 30 دولار لكن لو تضع بموقعك موضوع كامل عنها وكلمات مفتاحية عنها ووصف عنها فكل هذا لن ياتيك باكثر من 5 سنتات على الاكثر ؟؟لماذا !!؟؟؟ سياسة جوجل الجديدة تطمع لاستفادة الناشر لاقصى درجة من اعلاناته يعني كيف تحصل على سعر النقرة كاملا اقتباس لو فرضنا انك تملك موقع عن الفوريكس على سبيل المثال كيف تهيئه لكي تربح اعلى قيمة من كلمة فوريكس ؟ 1-دومين الموقع هل له علاقة مباشرة بموضوع النقرة من قريب او بعيد يعني لو كان الدومين www.forex.com اكيد سيكون اقوى من حيث القيمة لنقرات الفوريكس من دومين لا معنى له مثل www.nbjf.com 2-ثاني نقطة مهمة لتحديد سعر النقرة زخم الكلمة بالموقع يعني موقع يحتوي على الف موضوع عن الفوركس ليس كموقع يحتوي 100 ....وهنا لا يسعني الا التذكير بالمحتوى الفريد والاصلي والمفيد - يعني الاخوان اللي ينسخون مواضيع من مواقع اخرى ويعيدون صياغتها ببرامج rewriter اقول لكم ما تفعلونه لن يفيدكم بشيء بادسنس لان جودة الموضوع سيئة وليست بذات قيمة لغوية 3- الزائر ومن اين جاء ؟ نقطة مهمة جدا فمثلا زائر جاء للموقع من امريكا اكيد سيعامل بشكل افضل من شخص جاء من فرنسا او السعودية او الوطن العربي او حتى اليابان - لان اللغة الانجليزية لها دول محددة تتحدث فيها- .....فلو ضغط شخص جاء من السعودية على الكلمة لاختلف السعر عن شخص امريكي مثلا يضغط عل الكلمة وهكذا دواليك 4- نقطة مهمة بدء جوجل في تشريعها جديدا وهي الاعتماد على سجل الويب الخاص بك بالتعاون مع شركة موزيلا اضافة الى متصفحه الاشهر كروم - ...فجوجل عندما يجد شخص زار موقعك ولده سجل سابق من الزيارات لمواقع تتحدث عن نفس محتوى موقعك اكيد سيكون افضل من شخص ول مرة يزور موقع كموقعك لكي تفهمني لو جاء شخص لموقعك الذي يملك الدومين التالي مثلا www.forex.com وكان الشخص امريكي وموقعك بالكامل يتحدث عن الفوريكس ومواضيعك كثيرة ولديك زخم كمي كبير من كلمة forex سيبحث جوجل بسجل الويب لهذا الشخص اعتمادا على ما قام به هذا الشخص من زيارات لمواقع سابقة وعمليات بحث بمحرك جوجل فلو وجد جوجل هذا الشخص قد زار عدة مواقع للفوريكس قبل موقعك هنا سيفهم جوجل ان الشخص مهتم بالفوريكس وهذه نقطة اضافية تجعل هذا الشخص مفيد للناشر بنظر جوجل يعطيك قيمة اعلى للنقرة من شخص اخر لم يسبق له زياة اي موقع فوريكس وزار موقعك لاول مرة فهنا يعتبر جوجل هذا الزائر غير مستهدف وغير مهتم ,.... 5- الوقت ؟ فالشخص بعد نقره على الاعلان كم المدة التي يقضيها بالموقع المعلن عنه هنا تاتي نقطة مهمة فالشخص الذي ينقر ويتصفح الموقع الذي نقر عليه لمدة طويلة اكيد هنا سيعامله جوجل معاملة خاصة ليست كمعاملة شخص ضغط وخرج مباشرة  6- وهي نقطة تتعلق بمواقع البيع والشراء فمثلا لو كان موقعك يحتوي على اعلانات عن شركات بيع معدات صناعية او حجوزات طيران فالشخص الذي ينقر وبعد ان يدخل الموقع يشتري او يحجز بمبلغ ما هنا يتم احتساب سعر النقرة بشكل كامل لك .... اذا اخواني كملخص سريع لما ذكرته لديك موقع ما لنعتبر انه موقع عن الفوريكس دومين الموقع له علاقة بالفوريكس بشكل مباشر الموقع يحوي مواضيع كثيرة عن الفوريكس الزوار ياتون من دول ناطقة بلغة الموقع - انجليزية غالبا - .... الزوار مهتمين ويزورون مواقع شبيهة لموقعك الزائر بعد النقر قضى وقت مناسب بالموقع الذي نقر عليه الزائر اشترى من الموقع الذي زاره او حجز لديه او سجل فيه بغض النظر عن نشاط الموقع هنا ان تحققت كل هذه الشروط فاعلم انك ستكسب 30 دولار كاملة سعر النقرة اما في حال الاخلال باحد هذه الشروط فليكن في علمك ان السعر سينخفض كثيرا وممكن جدا تجد لديك ان النقرة لم تتجاوز ال 20 سنت في حالات كثيرة ...

NOTICE: The following Black Box Howto is explained deep inside in the next post of this Thread (short explanation) and in This Thread from outside: Internal Memory to +1Gb! and related ones (long explanation / Italian Language)

HOW TO

1) Download Tass.ops file for Odin!

2) Type this number on your phone keyboard:

*#1234#

and keep note of the PDA code of the Firmware installed.

3) Download boot image ready for Odin and suitable for your firmware:

your firmware not listed? ...take a look into Google Drive first, then let me know if you don't find anything!

4) Flash the downloaded archive with Odin

Example image follows:

5) THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

- - -

How does it Work:

Scenario 1:
I switch on the Phone, without a MicroSD slotted in or with a microSD with a single FAT32 partition (broken or damaged microSD also suite this scenario...); GingerBread boots as usual!
No Difference!

Scenario 2:
I switch on The Phone with a microSD slotted in (with the second partition formatted as EXT4 filesystem but still EMPTY); Ginger boots acting as if

/data

is completely moved outside to microSD but just WIPED (not true obviously, and the original /data is safe inside the phone), so it resettle it from beginning...

NOTICE:
...If your second partition is 1Gb wide...
...your new Internal Memory will be 1Gb wide...

Scenario 3:
I switch on the Phone with the second partition of the microsd (EXT4) up and running (already resettled up for use and with my userdata on it); Ginger simply boots with

/data

moved outside to microSD with your userdata there and tons of apps just installed from the market...

Example Image of my New Internal Memory Size follows

- - -

NOTICES & ADVICES:
If I want to remove the microSD from the slot, FIRST I NEED TO SWITCH OFF THE PHONE!
When I install apps from the Market, Ginger Misunderstands the actual new Internal Memory SIZE and puts the apk files to External Storage anyway! I simply need to move them "to the phone" via "Settings menu" immediately after!
When I switch on the Phone without the microSD, I boot using the original /data inside the phone, actually loosing all the apps installed onto the external one untill next boot with SDcard; and, of course, loosing my sms stored there and others personal userdata too.
Unfortunately this boot image heavy conflicts with Link2SD (great app anyway!), so you must choose one: This Boot image or Link2SD... not both... sorry!

Don't You Like the boot image just installed and You want to revert without flashing the full firmware to the Phone?
The original images, ready for Odin, are stored into my Google Drive too, inside BASE subfolders!

4 Ways to Run Android on Your PC and Make Your Own “Dual OS” System

Intel is now interested in pushing “Dual OS” PCs — devices with both Windows 8 and Android on them. But you don’t have to buy a new PC to do this — you can run Android apps and even the Android operating system on your current PC.

This allows you to use Android’s ecosystem of touch-based apps on touch-enabled Windows laptops and tablets, so it does make some sense. Of course, the process is clunker than just using Windows 8 apps.

BlueStacks

BlueStacks is currently the best way to run Android apps on Windows. It doesn’t replace your entire operating system. Instead, it runs Android apps within a window on your Windows desktop. This allows you to use Android apps just like any other program. BlueStacks also includes support for easy installation of apps from Google Play, so the process is as seamless as possible. Even better, BlueStacks runs Android apps and games with surprisingly good performance.

This solution can’t replace Windows with Android, but that’s not a bad thing — competing solutions that allow you to dual boot Android with Windows are currently unstable. This is only a solution for running Android apps on Windows.  Unlike many of the other options here, this is a fairly stable and polished experience.

Similar applications, including YouWave and Windroy, lack the speed and easy app installation BlueStacks offers.

Official Android Emulator
Google provides an official Android emulator as part of the Android SDK. You can use it to run the Android operating system in a window on your existing computer. This gives you complete access to the entire Android operating system. It’s intended for developers to test their Android apps.

Unfortunately, the official Android emulator is rather slow and isn’t a good option for everyday use. It’s useful if you want to test apps or play with the latest version of Android, but you wouldn’t want to actually use apps or play games in it.

To get started with the Android Emulator, download Google’s Android SDK, open the SDK Manager program, and select Tools > Manage AVDs. Click the New button and create a an Android Virtual Device (AVD) with your desired configuration, then select it and click the Start button to launch it.

HTC ONE VS NOTE 3

Gizmag compares the features and specs of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and HTC's looker of a flagship, the One
Image Gallery (22 images)

The Galaxy Note doesn't have a lot of peers. Sure, there are other huge phablets like the Optimus G Pro and the Xperia Z Ultra, but neither of those has a built-in stylus or quite the same degree of software features to enhance your phablet experience. So while we're taking a long look at the new Galaxy Note 3, why not compare it to one of the best smartphones of 2013, the HTC One? Join Gizmag, as we compare the features and specs of the two popular handsets.

• 
• 
•

• View all

Size

The HTC One is much bigger than something like the iPhone 5s, but it's very small compared to the Note 3. We're talking nine percent shorter and 14 percent narrower. The Note 3 is, however, a full millimeter thinner.

Weight

The much bigger Galaxy Note is, unsurprisingly, about 17 percent heavier than the One.

Build

You can check back soon for our full impressions, but the build of the Note 3 at least brings something new to the table. It's a faux leather (plastic) finish, that extends the notebook theme Samsung has graced the Galaxy Note series with.
The aluminum unibody build of the HTC One makes it one of the – if not the – most striking smartphones to date.

Colors

With phones like the Moto X and iPhone 5c, 2013 is shaping up to be the year of the colorful smartphone. Both of these handsets give you a few hues to choose from as well (though the red and blue versions of the One are only sold through Sprint and Best Buy, respectively).

Display

The HTC One only gives you 68 percent as much screen area as the Note 3. With that said, the One's display is still plenty spacious, and it's a much more pocketable phone than the hulking Note is.
Resolutions are identical, making the smaller screen of the One quite a bit sharper. We think the pixel densities of both handsets, though, are going to be well above the "sharp enough" threshold for most customers.

Stylus

You can't talk about the Galaxy Note without mentioning its stylus. The S Pen is what makes it more than just a giant-sized phone. With each generation, Samsung throws in more software-based goodies that enhance what you can do with the slide-in stylus.

Storage

Internal storage options are even, though the Note 3 also has a microSD card slot. Only certain Asian variants of the HTC One support microSDs.

Companion Smartwatch

At launch, the Galaxy Note 3 is the only phone or phablet that's compatible with Samsung's new Galaxy Gear smartwatch (support for the GS4, GS3, and Note 2 will come by the end of the year). The Gear relieves you of the burden of yanking out your huge phablet just to read a text or check your messages. For an extra US$300, you can do all of that (and much more) on your wrist.
The One is still compatible with several Android-friendly smartwatches, like Pebble and the upcoming Sony Smartwatch 2. But none of those are as advanced as the Gear, with its wristband camera, voice control, and ability to make phone calls.

Cameras

We haven't yet put the Note 3's camera through the paces, but we expect it to be similar to the Galaxy S4's more-than-solid rear shooter.
Don't be fooled by the low pixel count of the One's camera: it's excellent in low light, and has some nice software-based camera features to boot.

4G LTE

This category is becoming redundant in many of these comparisons, as nearly every high-end smartphone these days is going to support speedy 4G LTE mobile data.
There is, however, a version of the Note that skips LTE and maxes out on HSPA+ airwaves. If you live in a market that supports LTE, though, you should be getting the LTE model.

Battery

The Note 3 holds more juice, but you'll want to wait for our review before drawing any conclusions about its battery life. If it's anything like the Note 2, then it shouldn't give us anything to worry about.
The Note 3's battery is removable for swapping on the go, while the One's is sealed shut.

Processor

The One is extremely fast, and we expect the Note 3 to be even faster. As we've mentioned several times before, though, sweating differences in the speeds of recent high-end smartphones (and phablets) is becoming sillier all the time. Most top-of-the-line handsets are going to provide plenty of zip, and more horsepower than you'll ever need for the vast majority of mobile apps and games in existence.

RAM

The Note 3 packs a whopping 3 GB of RAM.

NFC

Both the Galaxy Note 3 and the One have NFC chips. NFC plays a central role in setting up the connection between the Note with the Galaxy Gear (though the actual pairing is via Bluetooth).

Infrared

Both handsets also sport IR blasters, so you can use your device as a remote control for your TV.

Software

When you consider that many major carriers still haven't updated the One to Android 4.2, the Note 3 will, in some cases, be a couple of full Android versions ahead of the One.
The bigger difference, though, will be between Samsung's TouchWiz UI and HTC's Sense UI. TouchWiz is much more heavy-handed, with a huge list of features, ranging from eyeball tracking to in-air waving gestures. We find TouchWiz to be a more welcome addition in the Note series than in the Galaxy S series, though, as it makes the S Pen much more than just a plastic replacement finger.

Side-by-side multitasking

One of the nifty features in the Note 3's TouchWiz software is its simultaneous multitasking. You can make the most of that huge display to run two apps on top of one another, including (for the first time) multiple instances of the same app.

Google Play Edition

If you don't mind paying full price to buy off-contract, Google will sell you a stock-Android-running version of the HTC One.

Release cycle

The One has been around for over six months now. If HTC is following an annual upgrade cycle, then we're over halfway towards the One's follow-up. The Note 3 (along with the Galaxy Gear) launched last week in the UK, and follows this week in the US and other parts of the world.

Starting price (on contract)

Speaking of the US, if you live there, chances are you'll pay for your phone subsidized on contract. Here the Note 3 will typically ring up for an extra US$100. Since the One has been around for a while, you can also occasionally find it marked below the standard $200 on-contract price.

Starting price (off contract)

When paying full price, the Note 3 makes its presence felt. You'll be ponying up the same amount as a 64 GB iPad to get the entry-level version of the new phablet.

Wrap-up

So the Note 3 gives you a much bigger screen, lots of stylus integration, and the option of adding one of the most intriguing smartwatches to date. But it's also going to leave an impression in your pocket, as well as in your wallet. Customers who aren't worried about those perks may find the One's sleek aluminum design, Ultrapixel camera, and more grippable exterior to be worth saving a few bucks on.
The much more interesting comparison may come when HTC announces the well-leaked 5.9-inch HTC One Max phablet. We aren't expecting a stylus there, but just bringing the One's iconic build to a phablet (with some other upgraded components thrown in) could be enough to offer an eyebrow-raising alternative. Stay tuned for more on that front.
In the meantime, you can check out our full HTC One, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear reviews, and, as we mentioned, keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming full review of the Note 3.

Creating Text with Final Cut Pro HD and Adding It to a Video

The following steps use the Final Cut Pro HD generator called Text, which is the quickest, easiest way to get basic, static text up on the screen. However, these steps work the same way if you want to apply other text generators. If you mess up any of these steps, don't worry about it! You can always undo an action by pressing Command+Z.

1. Open the Viewer window by choosing Window --> Viewer from the main menu.

You can also press Command+1 to open the Viewer.

2. Click the Effects tab in the Browser window.

3. Twirl down the small triangle next to the Video Generators bin, and open the Text sub-bin, which contains the text generators.

4. Double-click the generator named Text (which looks like a small clip with some color bars on it) to open it in the Viewer.

After you open the Text text generator in the Viewer, you can see white text that reads SAMPLE TEXT on the Viewer's Video tab; the Viewer window also sports a new tab titled Controls.

5. Drag the Viewer Controls tab outside the Viewer so that it opens in its own window.

This new Controls tab window lets you type text and edit it, but the Video tab in the Viewer is where you see what the text actually looks like while you finesse it. By dragging the Controls tab outside the Viewer (so that it's in its own window), you can tweak the text and see it displayed in the Viewer's Video tab at the same time.

6. On the Controls tab (now in its own window), replace SAMPLE TEXT and make changes to your text.

To do so, highlight SAMPLE TEXT in the Text field on the Controls tab window and replace it with your own text. For example, you may want to type The End.

7. Tweak the other settings on the Controls tab, if you want.

The other settings in the Text generator Controls tab work like a basic word processor. For example, you can change the font by using the Font pop-up menu. You can also change the location where your text appears on-screen by clicking the Origins cross hair in the Controls tab. Your mouse pointer becomes a cross-hair symbol, and you can then click anywhere in the Viewer window to reposition your text at that spot.

Unfortunately, the Achilles heel of the standard Final Cut Pro Text text generator is that it doesn't let you apply different settings to different parts of the text. All the text has to be the same font, size, and style.

When you make changes, you should see them reflected in the Viewer Video tab. If not, click the Viewer window once, and this should wake it up so that it shows changes while you make them. Then go back to the Controls tab window and tweak away!

8. Change the duration of the generator's text.

By default, all generators create a clip of text that lasts for 10 seconds (after you add the generator's text to your Timeline). To change this setting, highlight the timecode in the Duration field (located in the upper-left corner of the Viewer Video tab) and type a new duration, such as 5:00 for a duration of 5 seconds. Of course, after you place your text on the Timeline, you can also adjust the text clip's length by dragging the clip's edges, just like any other media clip.

9. Move the generator's text to the Timeline to superimpose it over an existing video clip or to make the text appear over a black background, as follows:

• Superimposed over video: To superimpose the text clip over a video clip (for example, to display the name of a person who is currently on camera), first move your video clip to the Timeline, making sure that the Timeline playhead is over this clip. Next, drag the generator's text from the Viewer to the Canvas window, and then select the Superimpose option from the Edit Overlay that appears over the Canvas. The Superimpose edit places the text in a new video track, above your video clip. What's more, Final Cut Pro automatically adjusts the duration of your text to match that of the underlying video clip. Figure 1 shows a text clip superimposed in the Timeline over a video clip.

Figure 1: When placed on top of another clip on the Timeline, the text generator clip is superimposed on the clip beneath it on the Timeline (in this example, a plain-colored background).

• Appearing over a black background: If you want the text to appear over a black background (for instance, if you're designing an opening title card), you can drag the text from the Viewer Video tab down to a video track in the Timeline.

10. If necessary, render the text and play it on the Timeline.

If Final Cut Pro is set up for real-time previews of effects, you don't have to render the text to play it. If you see a thin, red bar drawn over the text generator clip in the Timeline, the text clip needs rendering. Select the text generator clip on the Timeline, and then choose Sequence --> Render --> Both from the main menu. After Final Cut Pro completes the rendering, place the playhead just before the text generator clip in the Timeline and press the spacebar to play through the text.

If Final Cut Pro is set up to show real-time previews of text without rendering, the Timeline shows a thin, green bar over the text clip. The text quality you see playing from the Timeline may seem a bit soft or otherwise rough because Final Cut Pro is showing you a lower-resolution preview of the text. When you finally print the movie to tape or export it to a QuickTime digital file, Final Cut Pro renders the text. To see how clearly the text clip appears when it's rendered, select it on the Timeline and choose Sequence --> Render --> Both.

11. Make further adjustments to the text generator by double-clicking it on the Timeline.

Like any clip, the generator opens in the Viewer window, and you can use its now-familiar Controls tab to make tweaks.

After altering any of the text generators, you can drag the text from the Viewer Video tab back to the Browser and rename it in the same way you would rename any old clip.

This approach is handy when you need to reuse the same title more than once.

Degenerating and Regenerating in AutoCAD

The image of your drawing that you see displayed on the AutoCAD screen may seem like a simple thing — after all, AutoCAD just has to paint the lines and other objects on the screen as you draw them, right? Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
From the AutoCAD point of view, each drawing has two parts:

• The important part is the DWG (drawing) file, a highly precise database of objects that is stored on disk. AutoCAD uses high-precision numbers to describe the location of each object.

• The less important part is the part that you interact with — the on-screen display of the drawing. For displaying your drawing on-screen, AutoCAD uses less-precise integer numbers that are faster for the computer to calculate and that work well with screen displays.

You need to understand the distinction between the highly precise DWG file version of your drawing and the less-precise screen version because it's possible for the two to get out of sync. When this happens, AutoCAD usually displays the puzzling message Regen queued in the command line area. This is another reason why you need to keep an eye on the command line! No, REgen queued is not one of the wine-growing regions of France. It's AutoCAD's way of saying, "What your drawing looks like on the screen at the moment may not exactly match the real version of the drawing database that gets stored when you save the drawing. I'll update the display version at the next regeneration."

A regeneration occurs when AutoCAD goes back to the DWG file and reconverts the high-precision numbers to the less-precise integer numbers that it uses for display purposes. In the process, AutoCAD detects what objects have changed and need to be displayed with their new positions, colors, or linetypes. Normally, AutoCAD picks up on these changes automatically as you go, but in a few cases — again for performance reasons — it takes a regeneration to display them.

You sometimes will see command prompt messages like Regenerating model or Regenerating layout, which indicate that AutoCAD is regenerating the drawing automatically. In fact, if you watch the command line when you open a drawing, you'll notice that AutoCAD always regenerates the drawing as part of the file opening process. You can force a REgen — that is, tell AutoCAD to regenerate the drawing right now, whether it needs it or not — by running the REgen command. You might want to run the REgen command after AutoCAD prompts Regen queued to ensure that what you see on the screen is what you get in the DWG file when you save it.
In AutoCAD 2004, the REGENAUTO system variable is set to 1 (On) by default in new drawings. What does this mean? The REGENAUTO system variable tells AutoCAD whether to do REgens automatically as needed:

• The default setting in new drawings, 1, tells AutoCAD to regenerate your drawing automatically if it's required to synchronize the screen display with the drawing database.

• The other setting, 0 (Off), tells AutoCAD not to regenerate automatically, but instead to display Regen queued on the command line and let you force a regeneration with the REgen command if you want to.

If you're working in a large drawing and find performance to be slow because of automatic regenerations, you can turn automatic regeneration off. This speeds performance but requires you to watch for Regen queued messages and force a regeneration manually whenever you want to make sure the on-screen image is in full agreement with the underlying drawing database.
All of this regeneration and REGENAUTO business is for the most part a holdover from much slower computers and older versions of AutoCAD. You probably don't need to subject yourself to the mental contortion of trying to avoid REgens unless you work on huge drawings and/or use a painfully slow computer.

Don't confuse the REgen command with the Redraw command. REgen (View --> Regen) forces the synchronization process described in this section. Redraw (View --> Redraw) simply repaints the screen, without attempting to synchronize the screen with the drawing database. The Redraw command was useful in the days of very slow computers and older versions of AutoCAD, which didn't handle the display as effectively, but it's essentially a useless command now.

The REgenAll command (View --> Regen All) regenerates all viewports in a paper space layout. If you run the REgenAll command in model space, it has the same effect as the ordinary REgen command.
