Selection effect

[orendothan]

Hi All, I posted on this before but never got it resolved. Every time I restart AutoCAD  SELECTIONEFFECT command resets to (1) I have to changed it to (0) every time. Not the end of the world but annoying.

In my previous post I was told to restore Autocad to default settings. I have now changed from the full version to autocad LT, and the same issue is on this version as well. Which is strange because LT doesn't let you migrate your settings.

Long story short, how to I get SELECTIONEFFECT to stay on (0)

Thanks,

Hi,

I suggest to put this code line    (setvar "SELECTIONEFFECT" 0)   in a seperate file as  .lsp . Then put it in startup suite from APPLOAD (Command).

Hello @orendothan 

The "SELECTIONEFFECT" variable is stored in the registry, so it should remain unchanged even after restarting AutoCAD. However, if you're noticing unexpected changes, it might be helpful to check if any custom LISP routines are loading at startup.

To monitor this variable, you can use the "SYSVARMON" command. Add "SELECTIONEFFECT" to the list, set your preferred value to 0, and enable the balloon notification. This way, AutoCAD will alert you whenever the value changes, helping you identify when and what action is causing the modification.

I added to SYSVARMON the SELECTIONEFFECT command and changed the value to 0. Since doing this the selectiooneffect default remains at 0, and does not change back to 1. Does that make any sense ?

I have no idea how to do this, I'm not a programmer.

Hello @orendothan 

That’s great! It looks like the value is staying the same. Please continue working and observe when it changes, so we can identify the action that triggers the issue. Based on that, we can determine the next solution.
