How to add to ACADDOC2016.lsp

[Anonymous]

I'm not experienced with lisp programing.

I would like to add a line in the ACADDOC2016.lsp file that will turn off  LINESMOOTHING  each time

Autocad 2016 starts a new drawing.

Wuld someone be able to send me the correct line(s) that I could add to the exisitng file ?

Thanks in advance !

This thread might help you...

If you do end up using the line mentioned:

(setvar "linesmoothing" 0)

...it should go into an "acaddoc.lsp" file not the "acaddoc2016.lsp" file.  In general "acad[year].lsp" and "acaddoc[year].lsp" should not be edited.  You can create an acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp in notepad or any other ascii editor and add it to a support path that CAD sees.  It will behave in the same manner.

Yes, what @Shneuph said....

Create (or append) your own "acaddoc.lsp", don't edit the built in file(s) because they can be overwritten during a reinstall, repair, or service pack update.

Thanks to all

Worked great !

Not sure why my 2015 & 2016 would not save to the registry like it is suppose to.

I have full admin rights.

I am still running 2014 so I can't check.  But perhaps the error is in the help file and the LINESMOOTHING variable just isn't actually saved in the registry?  Can someone do a registry search and verify that the key exists?  I'm guessing that it would be somewhere in a similar location to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6006:409\Profiles\AutoCAD\...

Quick search in regedit for "linesmoothing" Civil 3D 2015 on Windows 7

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\​ACAD-E000:409\3DGS Configuration\Certification\Effects

I would assume it's still there in 2016 as well.
