Getting the ACAD support path string

[Anonymous]

Hi all!
I want to have a string containing the ACAD support path that can be found
in the preferences..

I know that in VLisp there is the (VLA-GET-PREFERENCE) function.
Is there something like that in ARX?

Thanks!

You can use acedGetVar to retrieve the contents of the ACAD sysvar.
Also, C++ has access to AutoCAD's object model via COM.

Have a look in the SDK's docsamps\comsamps folder for working
examples.

I see no justifiable reason for you to waste your time.

See acedGetEnv() or AcDbHostApplicationServices::getEnv().
Use the string "ACAD" as the variable name, and make sure
it's UPPER CASE:

char* libPath;
libPath = acdbHostApplicationServices()->getEnv("ACAD");
