Autocad settings

[Anonymous]

Hi,

When I make custom changes to autocad default settings it always changes back. Like I want my properties bar permit docked on the right. And the command bar at the bottom to be transparent and stay like that. 

Thank you in advance

Hi,

you have to save your new settings in new Workspace.(see attached image) you can always restore your settings by set it to current when ever you need.

Hello @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

To build onto imadhabash post, 

After creating your workspace try the following. 

The system variable WSAUTOSAVE is the toggle switch for "Automatically save workspace changes." You may create an AutoCAD LISP file that will load when AutoCAD runs and set WSAUTOSAVE to 1. To do this:

1. Create a new text file using Notepad and paste in the following line of code:

   (setvar "wsautosave" 1)

2. Save and close the file and then rename it to acad.lsp. Be sure it does not end with .lsp.txt after renaming (right-click > properties to see the full file name).

3. Put the acad.lsp file in your AutoCAD program folder or Support folder (e.g., 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 201x' or 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 201x\Support').

I reference this AKN article: How to have "Automatically save workspace changes" always turned on in AutoCAD
