Where can I find the variables which you can chooce in the dialog of MAPIOPTIONS so I can change then with VBA or LISP.

It depends on what exactly you want to change. Basically, map keeps it’s variables in the registry. You need to find a proper one.

  (setq ImgDetach(vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\"(vlax-product-key) "\\Applications\\AcMapRastUtils\\Options") "ImageDetachMode"))
  (vl-registry-write (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\"(vlax-product-key) "\\Applications\\AcMapRastUtils\\Options") "ImageDetachMode" 1)

Thanx, that is what I was looking for.

I added that to my acaddoc.lsp but i feel like I have the formatting or something wrong although it's not erroring it's also not changing the registry...

;sets the mapioptions so that shift left click doesn't pick an image
(setq ImgDetach(vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\"(vlax-product-key) "\\Applications\\AcMapRastUtils\\Options") "ImageDetachMode"))
(vl-registry-write (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\"(vlax-product-key) "\\Applications\\AcMapRastUtils\\Options") "ImageDetachMode" 0)

replace "imagedetachmode" with "ShiftLeftClickSelectMode"
