What hoops do I need to jump through to define a custom user variable that is similar to the USERR/I/Sx variables that I will use to store information about how custom entity styles should react. I have not found any documentation on system variables, but I have found the references to them in dbmain.h. Can I simply add a customized dbmain.h and the required code for my variable, or am I relegated to defining a function that does not define the data as persistent between drawing sessions?
You can't define your own custom system variables.
AutoCAD and most user applications use dictionaries
and xrecords to persist application data in a drawing
file.
You can also provide a command-level user interface
that allows the user to access that data as well.
