Topic: Where is Matt W's Favorite OSMODE Program?

[FengK]

Hello,

I remember Matt W posted a vba program a while ago for setting user's favorite osmode. Could not find it anywhere. I probably didn't use the right keyword to search. Anyone knows?

Thanks.

I have a startup macro that looks at login name and sets based on that.  I can post tomorrow from work

Thanks Michael. It was written by Matt W and was in VBA. I downloaded it and used it, but have lost the file. Matt must know what I'm talking about, if he sees this thread.

Code: [Select]

Public Sub AcadStartup()
      Dim Preferences As AcadPreferences, intOsmode As Integer
      Set Preferences = ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences
      Dim strUser As String
      strUser = UCase(Environ("USERNAME"))
      Select Case strUser
      Case "UA02038"
            intOsmode = 71
            ThisDrawing.SetVariable "ORTHOMODE", 1
      Case "UA00648"
            intOsmode = 167
            ThisDrawing.SetVariable "ORTHOMODE", 1
      Case "UA03347"
            intOsmode = 19
      Case Else
            intOsmode = 7
      End Select
      If intOsmode = 0 Then
            ThisDrawing.SetVariable "osmode", 3
      Else
            ThisDrawing.SetVariable "osmode", intOsmode
      End If

      Application.Preferences.User.ADCInsertUnitsDefaultSource = acInsertUnitsInches
      Application.Preferences.User.ADCInsertUnitsDefaultTarget = acInsertUnitsInches
      ThisDrawing.SetVariable "OSNAPZ", 1
End Sub
