Incremental Save Percent

[rodney.82524]

When I open a drawing I would like the incremental save percent to be set at 50 percent. Is there a way to set this so it does it automatically.

add this line to your acaddoc.lsp file

(setvar "isavepercent" 50)

Since lpseifert has provided you a solution, may I ask what is the benefit for that percentage?

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback and knowledge.

Actually the Isavepercent variable is saved in the registry, once it is set it should remain that value unless you change it. If it seems to be changing on its own a start up or a third party application is probably changing it, you may want to investigate there.

It speeds up the time when you are saving a drawing. We work in 3D and are using a third party add on for piping systems and duct and anything we can do to speed up our files really helps and this is one such variable that I use. I set this everytime I open a drawing and I just thought it would be faster to have it iniate on the start up.

Just wanted to ask. Thanks for the information.

I don't know if the old ISAVEPERCENT bug is still around, but I'm not taking any chances. Ours stays set to ZERO.

I think that's been corrected.

Perhaps you don't need to set this SV every time because it is a SV saved in registry unless you need to set it to different value with different drawings.
