    Default AutoCAD LT System Variables

    Forgive me if this has been addressed before.
    Is there a way to print out an entire list of system variables and their values? I have a hard time remembering between updates which ones I need to fix to my liking.

    Regular acad has a lisp to save/reset all the vars. And there is the Express Tools SYSVDLG command. But I'm not aware of anything that would work in LT.

    Whenever you're fiddling around with system settings, log the change along with a reason why. Then you can refer to the log later on, rather than relying on memory or a generic list of all settings.

    Thanks for the comments. Now I have another problem. Every time I open my new version (2018 ) I have to go in and reset all those SV settings that I've now figured out. I KNOW there's a command that retains those settings, but I can't find it. Help please!

    Which settings specifically Kristi? Different things are stored/saved in different places.
    Some SV are stored in the DWG file, others in the profile/registry, others not saved at all.

    If you enter SETVAR at the command line, then ? then you can then select * and it will list them all. I just had to do this to find out why someone's machine wasnt acting the same as mine. saved a ton of time. You can then print out the contents of your command history, although I just opened it in notepad so I could compare the two files.
    *EDIT* sorry late to the party.
