How to get a list of all system variable names in current AutoCAD revision?

[sby0531]

Is it possible to get a list of all system variable names in current AutoCAD revision via AutoLISP codes? Thanks!

A long time ago a few of us at theSwamp compiled most/all of the variables.

Good job! Maybe there are still other environment variables , for example, "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE".

[john.kaulB9QW2]

I'm sure there are but now, at least, you have a pretty good start to add to for your needs. You'd have to go to theSwamp and do a search for the thread(s). We had multiple programmers using multiple languages so I'm not positive you'll find it in the Lisp (only) forum. But, I know I had a list at one point; the code I gave you was just a baby version--I had a full-fledged GETTER/DIFFING, with a master list, "thing" at one point but like I said it can be a daunting task. In my CAD Mgr days, I created my own AtuoCAD installers (not sure if you can still do that now that everyone just uses the web installer thing) so when my end-users had major problems I just had them uninstall and reinstall AutoCAD and I had a custom program or two to save/restore things like their profile and these settings so they'd only be down about an hour.

Since, in the case of Environment Variables [unlike System Variables], you can create your own, there is no limit to how many there may be!

Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

Thank you for telling me so much about your work. I am developing my program on GETTER/DIFFING of sysvars and envars. Your codes has been of great help to me。Thanks again！

I know you can do this:

1. From FIELD command dialog box, under Field  category pick 'Other'

2. Field Names will show -SystemVariable- amog others

3. Next to it you will be able to see the System Variable List.

Hopefuly you get what you want to find.

In fact, this is not an AutoCAD-related environment variable. The list of all AutoCAD-related (= created by AutoCAD) environment variables can be found here:
