ucsfollow setting keeps reverting to 1

Hi

has anyone any idea why ucsfollow keeps re-setting to 1 in a drawing?

I have set it to 0 in every viewport and paperspace but it resets to 1 during a number of different commands including hatch, zoom extents and just generally while I edit.

it may caused by outsource plugins or lisp that you installed and use ( maybe ) . also you can control your system variables by System Variable Monitoring . >> Click <<

You could try the attached "vlx" file. which has worked well for us just to make sure you didn't miss one the many places it could be turned on.

Thanks for replying.

I added ucsfollow to the System Variable Monitoring and it immediately showed how ucsfollow reset when I went from paperspace to model space:

Command: SYSVARMONITOR
Command: _.MSPACE
**** System Variable Changed ****
1 of the monitored system variables has changed from the preferred value. Use SYSVARMONITOR command to view changes.
Command: _.VPMAX Regenerating layout.
Regenerating model - caching viewports.

 

Problem is I don't know why.

All the Loaded Applications are in either my autodesk\autocad directory or my autodesk\autocad\express directory so I can't see anything odd.

Since one might not know that some application would set ucsfollow to "1", I wrote a simple lisp "ucs0"

(defun c:ucs0 () (command "ucsfollow" "0"))

@cliffordjohnturner 

UCSFOLLOW is a setting in each view(port), so answer #3 is propably the better choice.
