C# - set system variable

Janwillen · January 2018

How do I set a value to the system variables USERR1 - 5 in C#. Can't get object.SetVariable Name, Value implemented.

It's OK. Found it: Application.SetSystemVariable("USERR1", pt.Y);

If you are creating an application and want to store a 'real' in a dwg I advise you to use a different method.

Use a dictionary.

FYI, there's nifty place for storing temporary data, its per document.

Hashtable Document.UserData

example:
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
doc.UserData.Add(KEY, VALUE);

Thanks Daniel. Didn' know this possibility. They aren't lost when you close the file?

Hi,
sorry, yes they are lost, as Roy mentioned a dictionary might be your best bet.
