SYSTEM VARIABLE FILE

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm using LT 2017.

I want to copy the file that contains all of the system variables from one computer to  another computer.

Can anyone tell what & where this file is -- or how to do do it, if everything's not in a single file?

 

Many thanks in advance.

System Variables are not saved in a single file. AutoCAD LT doesn't have this option, but AutoCAD has an express tool to do that.

Why do you need to copy the system variables?

 

Try reading the following link

 

http://www.cad-notes.com/how-to-see-your-complete-autocad-system-variable-list/

 

Then use F2 to call up the AutoCAD text window and copy and paste to a text file.

Yeah. @edwin.prakoso promised me a cookie if I posted a link to his site. I still haven't received the cookie.

The reason why I didn't mention about SYSVDLG is that the OP said he is using AutoCAD LT. So that option is not available for him.

@h_s_walker you didn't receive it? But you said you accept the cookies everytime you visit the forum. You click the button.

The SetVar method is still available though, which is why I mentioned the AutoCAD text window

Several members suggested the system variable backup tool found in the
express tools menu, since I had said I was using the LT version - which
doesn't support the express tools, their suggestions did not work.

What I ended up doing was making a printout of the all the setvar commands
on my desktop and then matching the setvar commands on my laptop. Time
consuming, but worked

If you put those in a text file and rename the extension SCR you will always have these settings through SCRIPT command for ever and ever.
