Default field value

galashkina — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 08:04:32 GMT

“Delimiter between multiple instances on same line of text” field must have a value of " " (space) by default.

How to do it?

In which file is the value of this field set by default?

Thanks!

I don't believe it's saved in any file, but using this line of code, you can set the default parameters.

You can do this in the WD.ENV or acaddoc.lsp also, to make it be the defaults on each start of AutoCAD Electrical.

(setq GBL_WD_PNLW_FORMAT (LIST "%T=%W (%2)" "%W (%2)" 0 -1 1 " "))

I created the file acaddoc.lsp and added a line (setq GBL_WD_PNLW_FORMAT (LIST "%T=%W (%2)" "%W (%2)" 0 -1 1 " "))

I added acaddoc.lsp to the list of applications.

It's enough?

But the default field value has not changed

If you paste it to the command line, will it work then?

Yes, it works

How to start the program automatically?

I'm just on my phone right now.
If the file acaddoc.lsp is found in the AutoCAD search path, it will be loaded automatically when AutoCAD start a New/open a document.
I'll look into how to put it into wd.env when I get back to my computer.

This might seem like a silly question, but I catch myself skipping the obvious stuff all the time...

Did you restart ACADE after adding it to the startup suite?

Yes of course

Thought so, but I thought I'd check while you wait on Trond.

I did some checking, and AcadE is doing som initialization/resetting of variables, making the scahnges in the lsp/env file not stick.

The quickest workaround I found was to change the macro of the Wire Annotation button using the CUI command. This is the new macro:

^C^C^PWD_1;(setq GBL_wd_pnlw_format '("%T=%W (%2)" "%W (%2)" 0 -1 1 " "));_AEWIREANNOTATION
