    Question Xref Palette Tree View default?

    Hi gang,

    Is there a way to get the Xref palette to default to tree view?

    System Variable? LISP? Dark magic?

    Thanks,

    -JP

    Probably Dark Magic. While in the palette, you can toggle between the two with F3 (List View) & F4 (Tree View).
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Thanks Opie,

    I realized that I did not have "Automatically save changes to workspace" enabled , and so the setting was reverting to "List View" every time I restarted. Driving me nuts.

    I've set that properly and in fact I added the following line to acad.lsp so the workspaces changes are saved for every one here.

    Code:
    (setvar "wsautosave" 1)
    But now out of sheer curiosity, I wonder if there is a way to force the Tree View on either AutoCAD Launch or File Open.

    I do not have that setting enabled for my workspace.

    I cannot think of a way to toggle the setting.

    Interesting, AutoCAD still does not remember that setting (Tree View).

    Oh look, the same issue has come up again in C3D 2023.

    Are you sure that you're saving changes to your workspace? When you upgrade to a new release, the default is to not save changes. See post 3 or run the WSSETTINGS command. However, there's no need to set it each time in acad.lsp as it is remembered until you change it.
