Variables
ANGBASE · ANGDIR · ATTMODE · AUNITS · AUPREC · CECOLOR · CELTSCALE · CELTYPE · CHAMFERA · CHAMFERB · CLAYER · CTABLESTYLE · DIMSCALE · DIMSTYLE · ELEVATION · FILLETRAD · FILLMODE · IMAGEFRAME · INSBASE · INSUNITS · LTSCALE · LUNITS · LUPREC · LWDISPLAY · MIRRTEXT · PDMODE · PDSIZE · PICKSTYLE · PLINEWID · SPLINESEGS · SPLINETYPE · TEXTSIZE · TEXTSTYLE · THICKNESS
Notes
- A value out of range or of the wrong type is rejected with a warning and the variable does not change.
- Variables that name something (CLAYER, CELTYPE, TEXTSTYLE, DIMSTYLE, CTABLESTYLE) require it to exist: they do not create the layer or the style. Names with spaces are accepted.
- The change is saved in the drawing and undone with UNDO.
- Only these variables are available; AutoCAD has many more. See System variables.
