    Question Missing New System Variables for AutoCAD 2008

    When I invoke the Express Tools System Variable Editor in AutoCAD 2008, the new System Variables for 2008 are not listed. Why? How can I correct this problem?

    Question Re: Missing New System Variables for AutoCAD 2008

    Let me clarify:
    I want the new System Variables for AutoCAD 2008 to be listed in the Express Tools System Variable Editor. They are not. How can I get the SYSVDLG to show the new System Variables for AutoCAD 2008 ?

    I think 2006 is the latest update for the SYSVDLG.DAT file.

    However, this would be a good starting point for updating it to 2008 yourself if this is the case. You might try hunting around in the autodesk newsgroups - maybe someone has already updated it and has shared.

    Just don't complain about it being out of date because the Express Tools have been unsupported since their inception and updates like this were never promised. (It still wouldn't have killed them to do it...)
