Solid fill not working

[mohdtm]

dears,

while i open any cad files, its solid fill is needs to get enabled each time i open each files. is ther anyway to keep the solid fills remains on.

FILLMODE = 1.

 

The problem is this system variable is saved with the drawing. You can force it with a simple lisp code that loads each time a drawing is opened though.

[mohdtm]

thanks for the reply , how can i get the lisp, and how can it load automatically with each files.

I have a better idea. Just create an Action Macro for it using the Action Recorder. Works a treat. Very simple to do too.

 

The lisp way.....

 

(SETVAR "FILLMODE" 1)

 

Add it to your acaddoc.lsp file.

please let me know how to apply it, i am very strange with macro

[ReMark]

Once the macro has been created, from within AutoCAD using the Recorder, just hit the Play button and select the macro from the list. Every time to create a macro it is given a number unless you decide to override it. Ex. - ActMacro003

 

The Recorder can be found on the Ribbon's Manage tab > Action Recorder panel. The Record button is on the far left of the panel while the Play button is in the center.

To create the macro first start the Recorder then at the command line type FILLMODE. When prompted for a value type "1" then press Enter. Stop the Recorder. AutoCAD will assign a name to the macro. If this is the first one you have ever made the name will be ActMacro001. Accept it. Now anytime you open a drawing where FILLMODE is disabled and you want to enable it just "play" ActMacro001. Simple.

Add it to your acad.lsp file.

 

Should be added to ACADDOC.lsp to load in each drawing, ACAD.lsp loads once per session (unless ACADLSPASDOC = 1).

If you want to use the lisp method then take a look at Lee Mac's explanation about loading lisp routines automatically via acaddoc.lsp as outlined here http://lee-mac.com/autoloading.html

 

SLW: I caught/corrected my error.

[mohdtm]

i try with macro its working , but it is difficult as procedure am doing till today that is "op" command, tick "apply solid fill" at display tab.

i try with lisp it is working thank you so much for your kind information, the link you provided http://lee-mac.com/autoloading.html

 

is very use full, thanks again

[mohdtm]

thank you very much its done. i use lisp command (SETVAR "FILLMODE" 1) and make it to autoload using appload. thanks again Remark ...

 

see you then....

[ReMark]

Glad to hear you found a way to make it work for you.

 

There are many system variables, like Fillmode, that one must be aware of. You can find information using the System Variables Editor which can be found under Express Tools or by typing SYSDLG at the command line.

 

You're entirely welcomed.

Don't use APPLOAD, add it to acaddoc.lsp (you may need to create this) so that it will load on every drawing.
