AUDIT → Yes (fix errors) PURGE → Purge all Then try the operation again. Exit all commands by pressing Esc several times. Then restart the specific command (e.g., ARRAY ). 3. Dynamic Input vs. Command Line If you use Dynamic Input (on-screen tooltips), you might be typing into the wrong field. Turn off Dynamic Input temporarily (toggle F12 ) and use the traditional command line. 4. Custom LISP Conflict If you loaded a LISP routine that redefines a standard command (e.g., ARRAY ), unload it with APPLOAD → uncheck the offending routine. 5. Units and Precision Surprisingly, drawing units (architectural, decimal, fractional) do not affect integer validation. An integer is an integer. But if you have Insertion Units set to "Unitless" and attempt to scale by a factor that yields a decimal, you might get the error indirectly. Preventing the Error: Best Practices Avoid this frustrating message by following these habits:
If you have spent any significant time using AutoCAD , you have likely encountered a frustrating pop-up dialog box or command-line message that reads: "Please enter an integer from 1 to 20000" This message typically appears when you are trying to set a value—whether for array spacing, block attributes, viewport scale, or a custom variable—and AutoCAD rejects your input. For new users, this can be confusing. Why 20,000? What integer? And why won’t AutoCAD accept a decimal or a larger number?
By mastering this small but annoying aspect of AutoCAD, you’ll work faster and with fewer interruptions. Keep this guide bookmarked—you’ll likely need it again.

A: No. This limit is hard-coded into specific commands. No system variable like MAXARRAY exists in standard AutoCAD. AUDIT → Yes (fix errors) PURGE → Purge
A: Yes. The English error message may be localized (e.g., French: "Veuillez saisir un entier compris entre 1 et 20000"), but the numeric limit is identical.
A: Negative numbers are rejected. Use 1 as the minimum. Turn off Dynamic Input temporarily (toggle F12 )
| | Good Input | Reason | |---------------|----------------|-------------| | 0 | 1 | Zero is not allowed | | 20001 | 20000 | Above upper limit | | 5.0 | 5 | No decimal point | | 1,500 | 1500 | No commas | | (space) | Any valid number | Empty input fails | | A5 | 5 | No letters | Pro Tip: Use the CAL command If you need to calculate a value that falls inside 1–20000, use 'CAL during a command:
