xclipframe in autocad 2012

does any one know why the xclipframe command is always set at option 2

When i open a drawing i use the xclipframe command and hit option 0 I save and close the drawing. When i reopen the drawing the xclipframe is the set back to option 2.

Can we keep it set to option 0?

Your right, the variable should be saved with the drawing. However, according to AutoCAD Help, "the FRAME system variable overrides the XCLIPFRAME setting. Use the XCLIPFRAME system variable after the FRAME system variable to reset the clipped xref frame settings."

Thanks ReMark, But even after changing the frame settings and then the xclipframe settings when you save and exit the drawing and then reopen the xclipframe setting is reset back to 2 the frame setting remains at 0. Can this problem be fixed.

I have managed to wite a lisp program to turn xclipframe to 0 when you open any dwg drawing but it only works with autocad 2010

;Resets Xclipframe setting to 0.

(if (not (= (getvar "FRAME") 0))

(setvar "FRAME" 0)

) ; 2010 and later

(if (not (= (getvar "OLEFRAME") 0))

(setvar "OLEFRAME" 0)

) ; 2005 and later

how can i make this work in autocad 2012
