Does anyone have a list of the "system environment variables"

HELP, COMMAND REFERENCE, SYSTEM VARIABLES at the bottom?

 

Im trying to access the files tab under options and was wondering if anyone
had a list of the "System Enviroment variables"?

Thanks for any help?

Mark

 

I am looking for the "System ENVIRONMENT Variables" These use the (getenv
"ACAD") for search paths and options like that?

Mark

 

System environment variables are specific to each machine and the software
installed on each machine. My system has 30+. Most systems have probably
less than a dozen. There is no definitive list as you can add any variable
you want. There are a few standards that windows uses, like PATH and TEMP,
but they dont necessarily have to be there. You can look on your system to
see what you have set. In Windows 2000 they are in Control
Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables.

 

That makes sense....I thought you could run this through AutoLisp to specify
custom properties..

Mark

 

What, specifically, are you wanting to access?

Here is a list that I swiped from some code that
John Uhden posted here once upon a time.

Yes......This is what im looking for!!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!

Ok....1 more question......How do access the Latest List?...To see if there
are new ones between 2002/2004 & 2005?

Mark

 

You're welcome.

 

Not sure where Mr. Uhden got all these from.
Perhaps he will chime in here and let all of us
know where the secrete stash is.

 

You can find a full listing here:
http://betaprograms.autodesk.com/history/command-map.htm

This currently goes up to release 2004 and will hopefully be updated to 2005
when released.

Isn't this a regular command and sysvar listing? It doesn't seem to
identify environment variables that one accesses via the SETENV and GETENV
lisp commands, such as in MaxHatch.

 

Thanks Mark, good point.

For that you can find a full list from Lee Ambrosius available at
http://hyperpics.com/
or the direct links:

happy coding....

Didn't catch the "system", please excuse me.

 

Thanks, I talked to Lee yesterday and he gave me the Link to his site.

Thanks
Mark
