Set default to HPLAYER

[isis_souzaJ3RBP]

As the title says, is it possible to set a default value to HPLAYER? This variable is changing all the time and I can't bear to manually fix it all the time. I want to set the default to ".", so it will always use the current layer, and I want this set to be permanent. Is that possible? If so, how?

Hi,

You can do that the way you do

HPLAYER<enter><.><enter>

That's all. The default is the current one all the time, IN THIS FILE!

Why in this file: [F1]

Documentation: It's a setting in the current/ in each FILE

-

If you want to change this setting in each file you open(what is an edit of this file),

you beed to setup an automation what will do that.

Create your own acaddoc.lsp (or edit the existing one),

add the line:

(setvar "HPLAYER" ".")

You are familiar with acaddoc.lsp, or do you need help?

@isis_souzaJ3RBP As noted in HELP in AutoCAD, that variable is saved PER DRAWING

For you to always have it default to a set setting you must create a startup LISP that auto-loads every time you open a DWG file: with the LISP above provided by @cadffm You can use these methods to set it up to autoload
