Usage of sysvar "HPMAXLINES"?

This is used in Autocad to set the "Hatch Pattern max. Lines which are created through one command"

In Bricscad I get this:
Befehl: HPMAXlines
Der Befehl wurde nicht erkannt "HPMAXlines
Befehl: (getvar "hpmaxlines")
100000
Befehl: (setvar "hpmaxlines" 200000)
200000
Befehl: (getvar "hpmaxlines")
100000
So maybe the sysvar is ignored, but is it OK that it cann't be changed (e.g. when I have to produce a drawing for a client who uses Autocad)?

  • Post as a support request it looks like a bug. But what version are you using ?
  • This variable is not supported in BricsCAD, but it was added to Lisp (getvar/setvar) functions to improve source code compatibility: (getvar) returns the AutoCAD default value, (setvar) does nothing for this variable.
  • I think for compatibility it should also accept "setvar". As said above - what to do when my client demands a sysvar with defined values and I can not set it?
  • If some variable of feature is missing in BricsCAD, you can create a Support Request and ask to implement such variable.
  • FYI: AutoCAD stores the var in the registry, not in the DWG.
