Command alias and system variable editors

This has come up in my wanderings.

 

Go to Express - Tools-  and there they are at the top of the picks.  Simple(st) way to change commands or sys variables.  You can even print out a listing.

 

Most of us "older" Autocad users know about these but the newer folk may not.

I still use the old school way of opening the file in a text editor and changing them.  That way I can copy the old ones and place a ";;" before them so I can always change them back to the original state.  Never really have had to though, but I like keeping this where I can get the original.

I prefer a text editor too, my old lisp still works:

(defun c:gp(/ pgpfile);command alias editing
(setq pgpfile (strcat "notepad " (findfile "acad.pgp")))
(setvar "re-init" 16)
(prompt "\nACAD.PGP...reinitialized. ")
(princ)
) ;end
