Change the point style with AutoCAD Autolisp

[Steven P]

Change the variable pdmode - there are description of what they are all, PDsize for point size... and of course, with any variable change set it back again after you are done with the LISP as required

Thank you

Can you give an example?

Here is a snippet that you could add to a LISP

 

(setq PDMode_Old (getvar 'pdmode))  ;;Record the existing point mode (style)
(setq 'pdmode 2)                    ;;Set the point to something new

;; Do stuff ;;

(setq 'pdmode PDMode_Old)           ;;reset the variable, pdmode back to as it was before the LISP

 

 

The pmode value isn't a straight 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... list you have 0 - 4 for the point then add 32 to add a circle round it, 64 to add a box and 96 to add a box and circle. See here:
