SPLMETHOD default to CV

[jhaylesWGNPZ]

"I prefer to use the control vertices method of spline.  I know I can set it to cv by doing the command spline > m > cv or going to system variable monitor and changing SPLMETHOD to 1 for cv. The issue I have is when I close and open AutoCAD SPLMETHOD reverts to 0 for fit. Is there a way to make SPLMETHOD stop defaulting to 0 when AutoCAD opens?"

That was my original post from earlier today and it was suggested to try my luck over here by a technical support specialist to ask for help with a lisp routine to set the SPMETHOD to 1 for CV on startup.

You need to put (setvar 'splmethod 1) in your startup. Looks like 0 is the default for CAD.

How/where do I do that?

[ronjonp · Accepted solution]

Create a file called SPLMETHOD.LSP and put (setvar 'splmethod 1) inside of it and save somewhere ( preferably in an AutoCAD search path ).

Then APPLOAD and go to 'startup suite.

Browse to your file and it should load up on each drawing open.
