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?
