PGia Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Hi again. There's something I can't seem to find a clear answer to. Maybe someone here can give me that answer. I'm experimenting with the use of dynamic variables, created in real-time. However, there's something that often makes me doubt whether it's advisable to use them. And that's where my question lies: If my code creates thousands of variables to avoid having to store data in a structure (lists or arrays)... when at the end of the code I cancel each of those variables with (set 'v nil), do the names of those variables really disappear from AutoCAD's symbol table, or only their content? I know about the atoms-family function and that it returns the value of a symbol if it exists. But the AI says that a negative response from atoms-family is not a guarantee that the symbol no longer exists in AutoCAD's internal symbol table. Thanks in advance. Edited 1 hour ago by PGia Quote
