Is there any way to permanently and globally turn off the Gizmo? I'm constantly setting DEFAULTGIZMO to 3 in my drawings, but it resets to 1 after reopening the drawing.
I'm using MEP 2013. Any help is appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.

That is, disappointing. But thanks for your reply.

Just add the following line to your acaddoc.lsp file:
(setvar "DEFAULTGIZMO" 3)
If you haven’t already created an acaddoc.lsp file, use notepad to save one in C:\Users\<loginname>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\MEP 2012\enu\Support.
