R2006 and DIMFXL + DIMDXLON dimvars

[Moshe-A]

Hi Guys

AutoCAD R2006

Anybody found the way to set DIMFXL + DIMFXLON dimvars programmaticly?

it seen like the only way to set them is from dimstyle dialog box

(even if there is a difference between them and the global dimvars the dialog box doesn't  reflact that) even in the extended data it's not there

thanks in advance

Doesnt setvar/getvar works on 2006 ?

(setvar 'DIMFXL 144.00)

(setvar "DIMFXLON" 1)

What about ActiveX"

(vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'GetVariable "DIMFXLON" )

(vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'SetVariable "DIMFXLON" 0)

(vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'GetVariable "DIMFXL" )

(vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'SetVariable "DIMFXL" 12)

$ (vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'GetVariable "DIMFXLON" )

; error: AutoCAD: Error getting system variable
_$ (vlax-invoke (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'GetVariable "DIMFXL" )

I tried it on 2007 , its seems to work there, cant find any version lower than that here though. I guess i cant be of any more help Moshe-A.

BTW: what about thru command prompt:?

(command "_setvar" "DIMFXLON" 1)
(command "_setvar" "DIMFXL" 12)
