Dragmode

Having problem with the systemvariable: dragmode.When importing a IntelliCad2000 drawing to AutoCadthe variabel is set to "auto" as it should, but theobjects aren't visibel when in "rubberband" mode.The workaround is to set the variabel to off, save,close and then open again and set it back to auto.Since I also have Acad LT on a number of computerswhere the dragmode command aren't available it'spretty annoying.I'm running IntelliCad version 2.2.0025 on a nt4 workstation.Anyone with the same experience ?P.

  • I have had the very same problem as we also have several AcadLTstations. For LT98 the solution was to use the freely availabletrial version of ACELT, a Lisp enabler from http://www.ppcad.comWith that installed, you can EVAL the Lisp (setvar "dragmode" 2)string which sets the variable DRAGMODE to 2, otherwise youcan dump a DXF and edit the variable then read it back in...(not an efficient solution).With LT2000i the DRAGMODE command has been made available.Intellicad seems to save DWGs with DRAGMODE at 0 even when inthe editing session DRAGMODE is on Auto (which translates toDRAGMODE=2). You can see this by typing; (getvar "dragmode")on the command line when DRAGMODE is on Auto to see that itcorresponds to the value 2... which is toggled to 0 when saved.Perhaps this is a small bug??

  • Like autocad 2000, intellicad does use the register to save and retrieve dragmode.But autocad2000 also saves the setting in the drawing, for compatibility reasons (with LT?)So it's todo.sander, bricsnet
