What system variables would you recommend adding to the SYSVARMONITOR?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a group of new employees who are just starting to use AutoCAD. They're not very familiar with the program yet, and I know that sometimes system variables can change unexpectedly, which can be frustrating and hard to track.

I’m setting up the SYSVARMONITOR to help flag any changes and keep things consistent, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are there specific system variables you recommend adding to the monitor?

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

Have you considered just creating a startup LISP that resets all of the ones they constantly stumble on first? It's what I would start with.

SYSVARMONITOR already has a core handful ready to use: what other variables are your new folks stumbling on that you need to add?

Here is my very detailed list based on my own personal decades of use and preferences (since you asked)

I have used AutoCAD for about 15 years. I couldn't write a LISP if my life depended on it. 😁

I am going to review these. Its good to see what other people use. Thanks!
