Wipeout Frames, system variable

[jay3791]

Does anyone know if there is a system variable that controls the wipeout frames being on or off?

I'm afraid not.

 

The setting is stored in the drawings main dictionary, but this is RO:

 

(defun c:wpfr (/ fr)
 (setq fr (cdr (assoc 70 (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS"))))
 (cond ((zerop fr) (princ "\n<< Frames are OFF >>"))
       (t (princ "\n<< Frames are ON >>")))
 (princ))

It seems to be related to a system variable though. I drew a wipeout in a drawing and futzed with tframes. Typing setvar after a command shows (it would appear) the last system variable that was changed. This is what I got:

Command: tframes
IMAGE/WIPEOUT frames are toggled OFF.
Command: tframes
IMAGE/WIPEOUT frames are toggled ON.
Command: tframes
IMAGE/WIPEOUT frames are toggled OFF.
Command: setvar
Enter variable name or [?] <IMAGEFRAME>:
Enter new value for IMAGEFRAME <0>: 1
Regenerating model.
Command: tframes
IMAGE/WIPEOUT frames are toggled OFF.
Command: setvar
Enter variable name or [?] <IMAGEFRAME>:
Enter new value for IMAGEFRAME <0>:
Command: tframes
IMAGE/WIPEOUT frames are toggled ON.
Command: setvar
Enter variable name or [?] <IMAGEFRAME>:
Enter new value for IMAGEFRAME <1>:

The tframes command looks like it changes the imageframe system variable. Changing the imageframe system variable affects how the tframes command toggles but did not change the visibility of the wipeout.

 

I don't know if this helps or not.

I don't think it is currently a sys var ... but it is on the wish list

As a quick toggle though

 

(defun c:wtog ()
 (cond ((setq *flag* (not *flag*))
        (command "_.wipeout" "_F" "_ON"))
       (t (command "_.wipeout" "_F" "_OFF")))
 (princ))

Hi everyone, i search about this probrem in google n i read this topic. And i has a question about program's Lee Mac

Funtion dictsearch : "(Dictsearch ENAME SYMBOL)"

 

(dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS")

This case SYMBOL = "ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS", so who can show me list of Object as "ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS" in autoCAD, example "ACAD_GROUP", "ACAD_MLINESTYLE"

. Thanks!

[Lee Mac]

Try:

 

(entget (namedobjdict))

Just wanted to update folks on this one (in case anyone is searching for this in the future), it appears that a new system variable (WIPEOUTFRAME) has been added, beginning with ACAD2013. I can't confirm it's existence, seeing as I only have ACAD2012.

 

 

One interesting point, the author of the video says:

 

"Historically the WIPEOUTFRAME variable has had either a value of zero .... or one"

 

Not exactly sure what he means by that, as far as I know, the WIPEOUTFRAME variable was only introduced in 2013, I certainly don't have it in 2012.
