Hi

Or look at setting system variable UCSDetect = 0 (Saved in: Drawing).

If you want UCSDetect = 0 set permanently, look at setting it via your Acad.lsp or AcadDoc.lsp or Custom.mnl or...

Have a good one, Mike

Since that sysvar is saved in the drawing, you should set it in your template drawing(s).

If you must use a startup file to alter this setting, then be aware that doing so will alter DBMOD.

Use "acaddoc.lsp" to do this. Using "acad.lsp" won't necessarily help, since that file is only loaded once per ACAD session (unless ACADLSPASDOC is set to the legacy setting of 1 - which should be avoided).
