Thanks for the advice, I had read/heard that before but didn't understand how to customize the way wanted to. It kind of goes back to earlier releases where you created and put the file acad.lsp in the support path and it gets found. I think in 2000 when the acad200xdoc.lsp came with AutoCAD it got confusing (at least with me). I thought "great, I'll just add my start up stuff here!"
Anywho, I just placed my startup stuff in a seperate file named acad.lsp and simply put it into the <autocad>\Support folder and everything's fine.
My acad.lsp looks like:
Code:
(defun s::startup ()
(SETVAR "OSMODE" 703)
(SETVAR "REGENMODE" 1)
(SETVAR "GRIDMODE" 0)
(SETVAR "SNAPMODE" 0)
(SETVAR "LIMCHECK" 0)
(SETVAR "BLIPMODE" 0)
(SETVAR "PLINEGEN" 1)
(SETVAR "UCSICON" 1)
(SETVAR "MIRRTEXT" 0)
(SETVAR "BINDTYPE" 1)
(SETVAR "INSUNITS" 0)
(SETVAR "DIMASSOC" 2)
(SETVAR "VISRETAIN" 1)
(SETVAR "FILEDIA" 1)
(SETVAR "INSBASE" (list 0.0 0.0 0.0))
(PRINC)
)
These are my favorite settings upon opening each drawing.
