Reset SYSVDLG

[paulof]

Hi,
I have search on this forum for the subject but no results.
Could i have a lisp to reset system variables?

I know that i could save SYSVDLG but with lisp will be more simple.

Thank you.

You'll have to make *.scr with your default sysvdlg settings... Here is my old version of *.scr, just to see what is in it... I have for this purpose put it in c:\ folder, so routine is:

(defun c:resetsysvdlg ( / fn)
(setq fn "c:/defaults.scr")
(command "script" fn)
(princ)
)

M.R.

how can i export my *sfv file with default variable to scr?
manually?

I check the value of system variables, only reseting them as needed. If reset a message is posted to the command line. When working on my own drawings I shouldn't need to reset any which would count as a modification to the drawing. Example:

 (if (/= (getvar "auprec") 3)(progn(setvar "auprec" 3)(princ "\nSet angle precision to ddd°-mm'-ss\".")))

For variables saved in the Registry that don't change when switching drawings I set them in Acad.lsp which only runs on startup. For variables saved in the drawing I use Acaddoc.lsp which runs every time a new drawing is opened. I've attached it for more examples.

I also add (load <username>.lsp) functionality with which each user can specify their own variable settings, customizations, etc.. This file is saved in the user's personal network space, which is also included in the Support File Search Paths.

Example:

(if (findfile (strcat (setq userName (getvar 'loginname)) ".lsp"))
   (load userName))

No, you just use sysvdlg command, and under SaveAll..., you change to save to *.scr, instead of by default *.svf...

You could also use the Vars2Scr command.

You could also use the Vars2Scr command.

Hadn't heard of that one, thanks Alan

On a side note, after pressing Cancel on the dialog...

Command: vars2scr

Initializing...
Writing AutoCAD system variable information...bad argument type: stringp nil

The Express Tools are written so well

... A disturbance in the force, I sense.

A new "vars2scr upgraded" function, on lee-mac.com must we create.
