Custom Variable

How can I make it transferable or make it attach or be part of the drawing?

Here is what I did:

I created the said variable using lisp in my acaddoc file and then I made a

text using FIELD to access the variable using diesel expression but when

I send the drawing to another station it did not show, it show a dash line only.

Any thought or solution?

Btw, I used (setenv) to create the custom variable.

If you are using setenv then the variable is written to the registry, and will need to be retrieved with getenv.

Other ways include using vl-propagate, or vl-bb-set and using the blackboard namespace.

Yes, I've used (getenv) to retrieved it. However my question remain, How do

I keep it permanently in the drawing when I send the drawing to another station.

As you said setenv write it to registry (of the originator's station) and it will

stay there permanently but it will not be on another station unless you tell

them to re-create it.

How about storing it somewhere in the drawing like in xdata or ldata in objects.. draiwng a blank here

I'm thinking here: A persistent reactor would maybe work.
