When are obsolete system variables removed from SYSVLDG

gherrmanRQ549 — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 00:56:56 GMT

When using Express Tool's SYSVDLG in ACAD 2021, the following obsolete system variables are still present: HIGHLIGHTSMOOTHING; RASTERPREVIEW. When will these system variables be removed? RASTERPREVIEW has been obsolete since the 2013 release.

SVSVLDG read error (DIMDSEP)

gherrmanRQ549 — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 01:28:43 GMT

The system variable DIMDSEP returns a read errors after using Express Tool's SYSVDLG to Save All system variables to a .svf file and then Read that .svf back into the same drawing. From .err file:

DIMDSEP - Read error: Could not set value in AutoCAD.

Current dimension style uses "Architectural" for "Unit Format" (DIMLUNIT=4). The drop-down for "Decimal separator" is greyed out and the current value for DIMDSEP in SYSVDLG is set to "0.0000,0.0000". This is presumably because the DIMDSEP system variable isn't being utilized (maybe?), but it's annoying that it returns a read error when importing/reading the .svf file.

SVSVLDG save and/or read error (TRUSTEDPATHS)

gherrmanRQ549 — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 02:56:23 GMT

When using Express Tools' SYSVDLG to save the system variable TRUSTEDPATHS, the variable is saved as a string with the format "Path1;Path2;etc". For example:

"C:\Users\<user>AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Support\;C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Data\Reports\Net;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Extensions 2019;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk RFA 2021"

The problem is that when SYSVDLG is used to read the .svf file and import this system variable, it adds another set of quote marks. For example:

""C:\Users\<user>AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Support\;C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Data\Reports\Net;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Extensions 2019;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk RFA 2021""

Resulting in:

"C:\Users\<user>AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Support\

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Data\Reports\Net

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Extensions 2019

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk RFA 2021"

AutoCAD doesn't recognize the file path "C:\Users\<user>AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Support\ because of the quotation mark at the start.

Hi,

>> RASTERPREVIEW has been obsolete since the 2013 release.

Just to know .. This system variable has been renamed to THUMBSAVE.

Express Tools are obsolete themselves. Sometimes some tools are updated and integrated into the core but tools themselves aren't systematically maintaned.
