Automating default save options

[Anonymous]

i have to change my default save option several times a day, mostly between autocad2000.dxf and autocad2013.dwg.  I figure a button on my toolbar would be preferable to options and dropdown selection each time.

i searched a bit and all i have seen was a command that no longer produces a result, "DefaultFormatForSave".

is there a way to make this slightly more simplified?

Create a button with the following code

(setenv "DefaultFormatForSave" "60")

Replace "60" with the appropriate value.

"13" for 2000dxf

"60" for 2013dwg.

Hi @Anonymous,

Here is an AKN Article that shows the syntax for configuring the default SAVEAS formats.  I think you could configure a button for both types using this method.
