Setting Command Variables

Use the SetVariable command to check, set, and change current command variable settings. Command variables store settings and preferences for commands and functions as well as for drawing, editing, and viewing modes.

To view or set command variables:

1. Type SetVariable at the command prompt.
2. Type the variable name.
3. The current value of the variable displays as default.
3. Type the new variable value.
4. Note: Some of the variables are read only.

To list all command variables:

1. Type SetVariable at the command prompt.
2. Type ?.
3. Type *.
4. In the command window, the command variables are listed alphabetically with their current values.

  You can type variable names at the command prompt directly instead of calling the SetVariable command explicitly.
