Ortho mode not stay active from file to file

[lpokornyQTXZE]

Hello,

Is there a way to keep ORTHO mode active even when switching between files? It used to be this way in earlier versions of AutoCAD but now I have to switch it in every new file.

Thanks

It saves in the drawing, you have to make a startup for that sysvar.

Did you have in the acaddoc.lsp before?

[lpokornyQTXZE]

No, I do not have it.

How do I write into the file?

thanks

Save this .lsp to your acad SUPPORT folder.

and restart your Autocad.

Add this line into your acaddoc.lsp file:

(setvar 'orthomode 1)

F8 toggles ortho as well as working as a temporary override while in a command prompting for a point same as the Shift key.
