Which registry Key stores the name of the Current profile ("cprofile")?
I tried following, all reurn 'nil'
(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCADR18.1\ACAD-9005:409\Profiles")
(vl-registry-read
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCADR18.1\ACAD-9005:409\Profiles\(default)")
In the registry when I double-click the key, the value is displayed. But I can't access it.
I'm trying to fix my profile via lisp-registry key. Why? Because the profile we use is part of a plug-in meaning we can do it using our profile so I alternatively the answer is to tweak the one supplied as part of the plug in.
The method I’m familiar with is to edit using the following code as example;
(vl-registry-write "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.PEN\Shell\open\command" "" "notepad.exe %1")
However that’s for creating a new registry key entry the one I have already exists but needs to be modified, better yet the profiles name (*.arg file) can change with updates, so in my search I came across the following link.

Now I cant put it together and am not sure where I have gone wrong…(See code bellow)
(vl-registry-write "hkcu "\Profiles\" (getvar 'cprofile) "\General\DefaultConfig" "\\DCMAR02\A03P20")
I would like to capture a registry key value using autolisp if the value of they key equals TEXTEXAMPLE then exit Autocad else nothing.

let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world
worlducs = 1
viewdir = 0,0,1
ucsxdir = 1,0,0
ucsydir = 0,1,0
but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.
For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable? i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1". The next step - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".
I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.
Some time ago I was able to add modyfy and remove regestry keys ussing AutoLISP Unfortunatly I have lost the information on how to do this.

(vl-registry-write "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Treadstone\File Sweeper" "NETWORK_LOCATION" SAVEFILEPATH)
I downloaded a Copy of AutoCAD Recent Documents Manager.exe from the autodesk website and it won't run on any of the computers in our system. I was thinking about writing a LISP routine to delete the filenames with a DST suffix by replacing them with the next filename in the list. My question is If I replace the file with the next one above and the filetime,filepinned and class respectively. When I reach the end of the list can I just use "" for the file,filetime and class and integer 0 for filepinned (it looks like it requires a double).
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy company is in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2013 (yes, I know 2014 is out, but IT won’t let us get the most recent because of fear of “new release bugs”). My company is small and our CAD Standards/Management is less than desirable. Over the past few years I have become the unofficial company CAD Manager and have slowly been getting us up to speed with using the latest capabilities and following best practices.
An issue that I deal with constantly is a new user not having the correct registry-saved system variables set up. This also happens a lot because our IT guy frequently reinstalls AutoCAD to fix issues. Every time AutoCAD is installed/reinstalled, all the registry-saved system variables are set to their default values. We have several that need to be set a certain way to match our current drafting standards (a few examples: .bak files turned off, plot.log files turned off, advanced attribute editor turned on, plot area relative to edge of paper, etc, etc.). Typically, I will get complaints from users about something not working correctly, and then I will troubleshoot the issue and eventually find out that they just had their AutoCAD reinstalled and their system variables are not set how they should be. Then I will get out my list and have them set all the variable s properly via the AutoCAD command line.
I have read up on creating AutoCAD Deployments (and we will be using these Deployments for this upgrade), but there does not seem to be a way to set variables when creating the Deployment.
Finally, to complicate things a little more, most of our users actually use AutoCAD LT (so no Lisp), and only a select few (like me) have full AutoCAD. So, we will be creating two separate Deployment files as it stands (which is not a big deal).
Some of my preferred criteria for the solution:
-Solution can be used for both AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT (I’m okay with there being two separate system variable “deployment” files since we will already have two different AutoCAD Deployments. I would just like the procedure for deploying both packages to be the same regardless of whether it’s for LT or full version).
- Solution would be able to be applied to each workstation without opening AutoCAD on each machine (and ideally, it would all happen when the AutoCAD Deployment installer was run!)
Is there any current best practices for accomplishing this? (maybe by changing the registry through batch files, VBscript files, etc? Or using AutoCAD script files – however, this requires the program to be open to run, which I was trying to avoid).

The first rectangle is drawn from 0,0 at the World Coordinate System. There is never any trouble with the code below when the objects are drawn at the WCS. The problem is when I try to draw a bounding box around an object while in another UCS. It seems that it always draws the bounding box at the WCS instead of my UCS. I have used (trans <pointlist> 0 1) on all combinations it seems and I still cannot get it to draw the bounding box at the current UCS.

I have the below code (from a user here on the forum) which works great for aligning text, mtext and blocks to 2 points. For annotative entities, it respects the rotation angle for mtext and text.
ie I have an mtext object at 1"=20' scale and at 1"=40' scale. I run the command when the current annotative scale is 1"=40'. The object at 40' scale has changed, but the 20' scale is unchanged. This is working as I would like it to.
But for annotative blocks, it gets weirded out. In the above example, the block at 40' will rotate, but so will the attributes at 20' scale. But linework and hatching at 20' scale will be unchanged. it looks really weird. how to get it to play nice with blocks. Ideally, I'd like the block to be at different rotation angles in different annotative scales.
(defun C:R2P (/ ss ang edata); = Rotate objects to align with 2 Points (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT"))) ang (angle (getpoint "

ACAD 2009 on XP
Third party software installed which now causes AutoCAD 2009 to crash when a single key is pressed. We have uninstalled the software, however the editor is still looking for the
Non-existent ARX. This is the problem. What file or registry key declares the list as shown in APPLOAD? I have verified 2009 works in the administrator profile.
We also did a repair and then a reinstall of 2009 to no avail. What steps are needed for AutoCAD to build a profile when a previous profile existed?
