grtext

Hello, Community.

Recently version of CAD cannot support screen menu, Therefore, does gretext limit to use <box> value -1 and -2?.

Then <highlight> value to be meaningless?

FWIW - The screen menu is still available in AutoCAD 2018.

Thanks, your answer.

Is FWIW command?.

I cannot find anywhere the command.

FWIW is short for the phase "For What It's Worth"

just like...

BTW = "By The Way"

and

IMHO = "In My Humble Opinion"

and

LOL = "Laughing Out Loud"

and the one I taught my kids...

GNSTILYVM = "Good Night, Sleep Tight, I Love You Very Much"

(I think my 41-year-old has taught it to her kids.)

There are others like SEG, and BFD, and the oldie RTFM, though I would be prevented from translating them in this forum.  :]

Type this in command line: (setvar "SCREENMENU" 1). This sets the value to 1.

BTW from the HELP, it tells the "SCREENMENU" system variable is set to 0 by default.

To follow John's comment, IOW = In Other Word.

Don't be worried too much, you will be familiar these abbreviations as you are more reading threads here and/or elsewhere.

Oh, HTH = Hope That Helps.

Did you try to enter this in your command line?
(setvar "SCREENMENU" 1)

Or, can you try this
(getvar "SCREENMENU")
Can you tell what does the value return?
