Dimvars

Yo,

Where can I "quickly" find a list (online) of all the Dimvars with brief
explainations and possible setting ranges. I have the Latest DXF
documentation but it only lists the var names.

Type in:

SETVAR then ? for the complete list of all setvars.

Here's what mine looks like;

DIMADEC 0
DIMALT OFF
DIMALTD 2
DIMALTF 0.3048
DIMALTRND 0.0000
DIMALTTD 2
DIMALTTZ 0
DIMALTU 2
DIMALTZ 0
DIMANNO 0 (read only)
DIMAPOST "m"
DIMARCSYM 0
DIMASO ON
DIMASSOC 2
DIMASZ 0.1100
DIMATFIT 3
DIMAUNIT 0
DIMAZIN 0
DIMBLK ""
DIMBLK1 ""
DIMBLK2 ""
DIMCEN 0.0200
DIMCLRD 2
DIMCLRE 2
DIMCLRT 2
DIMDEC 2
DIMDLE 0.0000
DIMDLI 0.3800
DIMDSEP "."
DIMEXE 0.0300
DIMEXO 0.0600
DIMFIT 3
DIMFRAC 0
DIMFXL 1.0000
DIMFXLON OFF
DIMGAP 0.0300
DIMJOGANG 45d0'0"
DIMJUST 0
Press ENTER to continue:
DIMLDRBLK ""
DIMLFAC 1.0000
DIMLIM OFF
DIMLTEX1 ""
DIMLTEX2 ""
DIMLTYPE ""
DIMLUNIT 2
DIMLWD -1
DIMLWE -1
DIMPOST "'"
DIMRND 0.0000
DIMSAH OFF
DIMSCALE 20.0000
DIMSD1 OFF
DIMSD2 OFF
DIMSE1 OFF
DIMSE2 OFF
DIMSHO ON
DIMSOXD OFF
DIMSTYLE "Standard" (read only)
DIMTAD 1
DIMTDEC 2
DIMTFAC 1.0000
DIMTFILL 0
DIMTFILLCLR 0
DIMTIH OFF
DIMTIX OFF
DIMTM 0.0000
DIMTMOVE 0
DIMTOFL OFF
DIMTOH OFF
DIMTOL OFF
DIMTOLJ 1
DIMTP 0.0000
DIMTSZ 0.0000
DIMTVP 0.0000
DIMTXSTY "L120"
DIMTXT 0.1200
DIMTXTDIRECTION OFF
DIMTZIN 0
DIMUNIT 2
DIMUPT OFF
DIMZIN 0

 

end.

I created a script file to quickly load my preferences call "Dimen.lsp".

It is executed by (load"dimen") as long as; files settings in "Options" "Files" "Support" have a known path subdirectory to the folder (so it can find the lisp file).

Best of luck.

[Wow -- 20 years after the initial post!]  That list may be good, but doesn't include the brief explanations and options asked for in Message 1.  How similar these things are now to what they were then, I couldn't say [certainly many are the same], but today, >this< would answer that request.  It has all System Variables starting with D, so more than they were asking for, but at least includes all the DIM* ones together, with not only short descriptions right there, but you can pick on each to get to the options, defaults, etc.

This is not complete but can be useful just for dims, forget where I found it.
