Have you ever looked at all of your
system variables in one place? Probably
not. some people type in SETVAR at the command
prompt, enter ?, then enter * to see them all, one by one, at the command
prompt. Unfortunately you still can't change the variables until you
type in the needed variable afterwards at a blank command prompt. Some
users will go to the HELP files
to understand what each system variable will do.
Believe it or not
there actually is a very good dialogue box utility
for changing these variables. You won't find
this one in the menu pull downs anywhere. Just type SYSVDLG
at the command prompt and shazam! The
magical dialogue box appears. This utility
allows you to look at, read, change, or even save
the master list of system variables for later.
That's right, you can save your current system variables to a *.svf file and
restore them on another machine (after saving the original!) or on a new
installation. The utility is also invaluable
when you can't remember the name
of a system variable that you need to look up quickly.
This utility is available on basic
installations of AutoCAD 2000 and up.
