Topic: System variable export

[bman]

Is there a way to export the current sytem variable settings to a text file for comparison?

[SMadsen]

I'd recommend ACADINFO but also ET's SYSVDLG can export'em

[bman]

Acadinfo is what I needed.
Thanks for the info.

That's cool Stig, but how did you even know that existed?

[bman]

ACADINFO is a utility for gathering information about
your AutoCAD installation and current setup. The
routine will examine your system and write a text file
called "acadinfo.txt" to your hard drive.

check to see if you can figure out where it is trying to save your text file.
It may not have rights to do it at that location.
For me, it is writing to out network drives which I have rights to but not everybody.

that might be a reach but I have seen worse...

appload the acadinfo.lsp under express tools directory... i couldn't get the one under acad support directory to work either

You can also use:

Command: setvar
Enter variable name or [?]: *

Then hit F2 and copy the list from the text window.

Sounds like you're trying to write toa read-only directory.  Open ACADINFO.LSP  and look for:

Code: [Select]

 (setq fna "acadinfo.txt");setq

It should be pretty near the top.   Change it to add a different directory like:

Code: [Select]

 (setq fna "C:\mystuff\acadinfo.txt");setq

^what CADaver said, but look out for automatic pathing within the code. E.g. my version sets the path to MYDOCUMENTPREFIX

That's cool Stig, but how did you even know that existed?

Will, it's been there as long as I can remember (of course, that extends to sometime last night but that's another story)
