Stop Cad from asking dumb questions

[DP-Mike]

There was a time when you could alter a setting and Cad would stop asking you simple questions, like 
Pedit command; "Do you want to turn it into one?" 

Extrude command' "Erase Defining Objects?"

And several other simple questions that most users never change bur require an extra click. 

I am currently on ACad 2016 and I can't seem to find any reference to this setting. 

Anyone remember this? Know of anything like this in 2016?

Thanks

See if the EXPERT variable is the one that can do that.

That kind of works, but only on certain things... (see below) but not the things I was talking about. Specifically PEdit. I know I removed that question before. And the extrude question I've never seen before and I have used Cad v14 all the way to 2018.

0   Issues all prompts normally.
1   Suppresses “About to regen, proceed?” and “Really want to turn the current layer off?” (-LAYER)
2   Suppresses the preceding prompts and “Block already defined. Redefine it?” (-BLOCK) and “A drawing with this name already exists. Overwrite it?” (SAVE or WBLOCK).
3   Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by the LINETYPE Command prompt (-LINETYPE) if you try to load a linetype that's already loaded or create a new linetype in a file that already defines that linetype.
4   Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by UCS Save and VPORTS Save if the name you supply already exists.
5   Suppresses the prompt, “That name is already in Use, redefine it?” issued by the -DIMSTYLE Save option when you supply the name of an existing dimension style.
Suppresses the same prompt issued by the -SCALELISTEDIT Add option.

that solves the Pedit issue!! Thanks  (Don't know why that didn't follow with my profile, but no matter now.) 

Now for the question during the extrude command....

There it is!!!!!!! Thank you!

Although the link you posted was incomplete in information. There is a "3" and "-3" option in 2016.

0   All defining geometry is retained.
1   Deletes profile curves, including those used with the EXTRUDE, SWEEP, REVOLVE, and LOFT commands. Removes all defining geometry for CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOSURFACE, CONVTONURBS, and CONVTOMESH commands. Cross sections used with the LOFT command are also deleted.
2   Deletes all defining geometry, including paths and guide curves used with the SWEEP and LOFT commands.
3 Deletes all defining geometry, including paths and guide curves used with the SWEEP and LOFT commands if the action results in a solid object. Removes all defining geometry for CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOSURFACE, CONVTONURBS, and CONVTOMESH commands.
This setting also applies to options in commands such as PEDIT and SPLINE for converting between splines and spline-fit polylines. The range of non-zero values is present to maintain AutoCAD compatibility.
-1   Displays prompts to delete profile curves, including those used with the EXTRUDE, SWEEP, REVOLVE, and LOFT commands. Prompts to remove cross sections used with the LOFT command.
The original geometry for CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOSURFACE, and CONVTOMESH commands is removed without prompting.
-2   Displays prompts to delete all defining geometry, including paths and guide curves used with the SWEEP and LOFT commands.
The original geometry for CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOSURFACE, and CONTOMESH commands is removed without prompting.
-3   Displays prompts to delete all defining geometry if the resulting entities are a surface of any type. Deletes all original geometry resulting in a solid entity, original geometry for CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOSURFACE, CONVTONURBS, and CONVTOMESH commands is removed without prompting.
