This section describes the changes
made to existing system variables between AutoCAD Releases 10 and
11. Values for most system variables are expressed relative to the
current User Coordinate System.
|
CECOLOR
|
In Release 10, this string
contained "BYLAYER," "BYBLOCK," a color number (for example,
"15"), or a standard color number and name (as in "1 (red)").
The last form has been dropped, so applications no longer
need to cope with its embedded blank. The standard colors
now appear simply as "1" - "7"
|
|
DIMxxx
|
DIMBLK, DIMBLK1 and DIMBLK2
are now used for angular dimensions. DIMTIX and DIMTOFL control
the style of Radius or Diameter dimension created. DIMSCALE
can now be set to 0 to invoke paper space scaling
|
|
ELEVATION
|
Sets the 3D elevation,
relative to the current UCS, for the current space (paper
or model)
|
|
EXPERT
|
If set to 5, now suppresses
additional prompts
|
|
EXTMAX/EXTMIN
|
Drawing extents expressed
in 3D World coordinates for the current space
|
|
FLATLAND
|
Can be read, but can be
set only to 0. It is forced to 0 when an existing drawing
is read in
|
|
LASTANGLE
|
Point is expressed for
the current space
|
|

Discontinued feature. Use
LASTPOINT instead
|
|
LIMCHECK

|
|
LIMMAX/LIMMIN
|
Drawing limits expressed
in 2D World coordinates for the current space

|
OSMODE
|
Running Osnap modes are
now ignored during entity selection
|
|
PLATFORM
|
Indicates which version
of AutoCAD is in use
|
|
UCSFOLLOW

VPOINTX/VPOINTY/VPOINTZ
|
Discontinued. Use VIEWDIR
(a 3D point)
