tcircle variables

Greetings Everyone
Just a quick question, Is it possible to set tcircle variables, I want to set shape to rectangle instead of circle and offset to 0.5

Yes, you can. The variables as of 2007 are

#bns_tcircle_offset - Requires a real number. The default = 0.35
#bns_tcircle_ent - (Choose one -> Circles, Slots, Rectangles)
#bns_tcircle_rad - (Choose one -> Constant, Variable)

You can set these variables with the setq AutoLISP function.

(setq #bns_tcircle_offset 0.5)

(setq #bns_tcircle_ent "Slots")

#bns_tcircle_rad "Variable")

Awesome, Thanks a whole heap.

with this being an express tool, I'm assuming you would have to edit the original lisp to actually accomplish this, possibly adding arguments, or just modifying the actual code.

Actually, I added it to my acaddoc.lsp, Works a treat,
Is there a problem doing it this way,
