Set default dim style by lisp command

[VietDang]

Hello,

When we start AutoCAD, Dimension Style of it is always ISO-25. Is there any way when starting the Cad, Dimension Style is always Annotative?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. If I want when opening the AutoCAD then Dimension Styles ISO-25 will be deleted, how do I do?

(command "-purge" "_Dimstyles" "ISO-25" "_N")

This should be run after you have changed your dimstyle to the annotative style you require.

Hi,

If I want Annotative style in Text Style is always default styles, how to do it?

Thanks!

The best way to achieve all of these is to alter your drawing template. This will be called acad.dwt for imperial and acadiso.dwt for metric.

 

The default path to these templates can be found by typing  _options on the command line then selecting the files tab in the dialog. Scroll down to find Template Settings and press the + to expand the option.

 

"Drawing Template File Location" will tell you where it is stored

"Default Template File Name for QNEW" will give you the file.

 

Load the dwt template file, make the changes you require the saveas "AutoCAD Drawing Template (*dwt)" with the same file name to overwite the existing or save the file to your Documents Folder with the same name and then point the "Drawing Template File Location" to your amended template file.

 

Once this is done, every time you start a new drawing your new drawing will reflect the changes made. The code below will work for textstyles. The equivalent dimstyle system variable cannot be altered like this as it is Read Only (RO).

 

(setvar 'textstyle "Annotative")
