    Question Code 101 Request - UCSICON set to ON and at ORIGIN

    What does the LISP code look like that sets the UCS icon to display at the World origin point?

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    as per ACAD Help

    UCSICON (System Variable)

    Controls the visibility and placement of the UCS icon.

    Type: Integer
    Saved in: Drawing
    Initial value: 3
    The setting of this system variable is viewport and layout specific.

    Value
    Description
    0
    Off; No icon is displayed
    Find
    1
    On; the icon is displayed only in the lower-left corner of the current viewport or layout
    Find
    2
    Off; if the icon is turned on, it is displayed at the UCS origin, if possible

    3
    On; Displays the UCS icon at the origin, if possible.
    Find
    Note: This system variable has the same name as the UCSICON command. Use the SETVAR command to access this system variable.

    You could add the line
    Code:
    (if (/= (getvar 'ucsicon) 3)(progn(setvar 'ucsicon 3)(princ "\nUCSicon set to Origin! UCSICON")))
    in your acaddoc.lsp file.

    All, thank you for your interest and 'intel'. Tom, I lean heavily on your customized acaddoc.lsp provided a few years ago. BIG Thanks! I use it every workday and even have added content via autoload statements, etc.
