how to manage/edit global system variables

CAME7 — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 11:20:52 GMT

Hi all,

Is there a way to access/manage all the global system variables i.e. TSPACETYPE

and then save as a file to create a default setup for all CAD users in an organisation

Many Thanks

Unfortunately not as some global settings will be saved in the computer's registry.

You could try making a drawing template and change all the settings that you want to change in that and then save it.

Make sure all your others users have access to that template though.

Create a SCRIPT file with all of your desired settings, then do this for each user

and remind them to use it often.

BUT... If you all are running LT2024 or LT2025, you can do more with LISP and automated startups that force your settings on everyone all the time when they open a DWG file too.

SYSVARMONITOR command setup for each user may help, but in LT that's a manual process since LT does not do "autocad profiles".

And yes, you still ought to do the TEMPLATE thing that @h_s_walker recommends too, those are indispensable.
