i was trying to figure this one out on my own but can't seem to. i have offset buttons. i would like to set the drawing units to fractional 1/32 precision before it starts. or maybe the better way to go would be a script of some sort that automatically sets my variables when i open any drawing. how would i go about this script?

Write a script, using the system variables simply enter the one you want to change then the value, making sure to enter each sucessive variable on a different line.

As Daron showed, simply place lines using this format in a file, add that file to the Startup Suite and you are off...

But you can do that in a toolbar, can't you? OR,
merely type,
dimzin;1;etc;etc;etc;

well i tried putting it in the button daron but the dialog kept popping up and my precision keeps going back to 1/4. how do i suppress it and set all the values. i think i'll go the script route anyway but just curious how to suppress dialogs?

^C^C-units;5;32;1;2;0.00;N;(textscr);moff
Will that work.
I know there are some dimvars to help you bypass using -units, but you'll have to dig them up. Look at express tools "system variable editor" and look at any variable starting with dim.

Okay, that should've been graphscr, not textscr. Graphscr is similar to hitting F2.
What are you trying to make a script file for? I thought you were putting this in a toolbar.

Script: notepad and be careful of spaces and wrong command line sequence and... why are you looking into scripts? Nevermind, scripts are a good way to learn the command line sequence. It's a decent starter step for basic lisp.
