DIESEL of set/getenv not allowed?

[ScottMC]

AI suggestion not working - saved it to my menu

^C^C$M=$(if,$(==,$(getenv,ShowTabs),"0"),_setenv ShowTabs 1,_setenv ShowTabs 0)

my acad replies:

Command: setenv Unknown command "SETENV".  Press F1 for help.

Command: ShowTabs Unknown command "SHOWTABS".  Press F1 for help.

Command: 0 Unknown command "0".  Press F1 for help.

Really the concern is if system set/getenv can be used in a macro, and using it for visibility as with:

ID_BouReg      [$(if,$(and,$(getvar,hpbound),1),!.)Polyline BOundary    ]$M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,hpbound),1), setvar hpbound 0, setvar hpbound 1) regenall

which is the switch (the $if..,!.) for poly/region of boundary which shows with a 'check when set to polyline.

'Showtabs" does not exist in my AutoCAD 2027. Are these the variables you're after?

FILETAB: Type this into the command line to instantly display the file tabs.

FILETABCLOSE: Type this into the command line to hide the file tabs.

FILETABSTATE: The system variable used to check or set their status (1 for on, 0 for off)

What exactly are you trying to do?

 

Are you using AutoCAD 2000? I only have Tilemode and CTAB in my AutoCAD 2000i at home for dealing with the Tabs.

 

Why Diesel?

 

You posted this in the LISP forum.

1) Unlike setvar, setenv is not a command but a lisp function that's the reason AutoCAD is returning: 

setenv Unknown command "SETENV".  Press F1 for help.

So you would have to begin it with open parenthesis and end it with close parenthesis.

An example would be:

(setenv"MaxArray""200000")

2) There's no SHOWTABS environment variable unless this is set elsewhere.

3) For a list of AutoCAD environment variables open Windows Registry: Regedit and browse to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\<Version>\<ProductID>\FixedProfile\General
