SetVar

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic and Pro, Bricscad (Linux) Classic

Displays and changes the values of system variables (short for "set variables").

Accessing the Command

command bar:  setvar

transparent:  'setvar

alias:  set

menu bar:  Tools | Set Variable

 

: setvar

Prompts you in the command bar:

Variable name or ?: (Enter the name of a system variable, or type ?.)

For example:

Variable name or ?: chamferd

New current angle for CHAMFERD <0>: (Enter a value, or press Enter to accept the current value.)

 

This command is unnecessary, because system variables can be entered directly at the command prompt:

: chamferd

New current angle for CHAMFERD <0>: (Enter a value, or press Enter to accept the current value.)

 

You can also change the values of system variables with the Settings command.

The values of read-only variables cannot be changed. For example:

: program

PROGRAM = "BRICSCAD" (read only)
