    Red face LTGEN on by default? Turn into PLINE Y default?

    I do a lot of PEDIT, Y, JOIN, LTGEN - ON.

    Is there a way to set PEDIT envoked on a line to turn it into a pline without confirmation and set the ltgen property to ON by default?

    it's the little things...

    Set PEDITACCEPT to 1.

    Set PLINEGEN to 1.

    Both/either can be saved in your template file, added to acaddoc.lsp or put on a button.

    And to take it one step further, I have my double click edit for LINES set to PEDIT instead of properties. Then PEDITACCEPT to 1. Need a line converted to a pline, just double click it!

    Seems the PLINEGEN value set to 1 in the template doesn't stay. PEDITACCEPT does.

    You can add a line at the bottom of your acaddoc.lsp:

    (setvar "plinegen" 1)

    This will turn PLINEGEN on in each drawing you open.

    I ran into this problem and I believe I found a solution using the PLINEGEN variable. If you go into the source drawing for the profile and set PLINEGEN to 1 in that drawing, save it and open your sheet drawing and set the PLINEGEN to 1 on that drawing it should work. I actually turned it on in the sheet drawing first and then went to the base, but ether way should work.

    Hope it helps.
