a way to keep commands and sys variables from changing?

[AutoMarcus]

Hi all

this may be a really dumb question but here goes.

I like certain settings like viewres 10000 and a certain scale list  and a few other things in every drawing.

my collegue has drawn many drawings with different settings, like viewres 100 or 1000, and scales that are way different to what i use.

i am to use his old drawings as a template to do new drawings, and am forever changing viewres so that circles dont look to me like hexagons

doing new viewports i am also repeatedly typing in scaleeditlist to put new viewport scale options on.

is there a way to keep my settings when opening other peoples drawings?

Hi,

>> is there a way to keep my settings when opening other peoples drawings? <<

i suggest to use SYSVARMONITOR command for that.read HERE for more help. and this is began from AutoCAD 2016 and later.also you have to know that there is a settings that saved different in every single CAD file and other ones saved in AutoCAD as general and you can notice that from OPTIONS dialog especially when you see this symbol ( see attached image)

Regards.

thanks

I have this turned on, however the viewres and other settings change for every drawing i open up.

and viewres is a command , not a system variable, so i cant add it to to SYSVARMONITOR

Hi,

I would have tried a script to do so.

SCR > then insert the script. (all steps in one command).

Just do all you commands on notepad and save it as .scr to create script.

Note : The file basic.scr does not have a valid extension for an attachment and has been removed. (cannot attach the sample)

 (Basic)

Here are some links which will give you an idea of writing a script.

HI

I think with this trick you can do it.

1-just insert those dwg to your dwg file (which is set up ).

2-its possible by _ACTRECORD (macro),with one click you can set all variables.

Good Luck
