| Making a read only file out of an AutoCAD drawing file | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lance, This area is called the status line. Try putting this code into your acad.lsp file (setvar "modemacro" (strcat "Ltscale: $(getvar,LTSCALE) " "Dimscale: $(getvar,DIMSCALE) " ); end strcat ); end setvar This will work with AutoCAD R12 and above. You can have any system variable in there you want. I use this code in my ACAD.LSP file: (setvar "modemacro" (strcat "Text Style $(getvar,TEXTSTYLE) " "Elev: $(getvar,elevation) " ); end strcat ); end setvar I use this because I am always interested in the textstyle and the current elevation that I am working in. Have fun Jim |
