lisp to toggle between large and small buttons

I share a computer at work with a person who uses large buttons. every time I get on the computer I have to switch back to small buttons and it is driving me crazy. Is there a system variable to change this that I can use in a lisp routine? I would like to use it to setup a lisp routine that toggles the value between our 2 loginnames. I have searched all over and I cannot find anything that addresses this issue.

 

How about this?

(defun toggleLargeButtons (/ object)
(setq
object
(vla-get-toolbars
(vla-item
(vla-get-menugroups
(vlax-get-acad-object))
"acad"
)
)
)
(if (= :vlax-true (vla-get-largebuttons object))
(vla-put-largebuttons object :vlax-false)
(vla-put-largebuttons object :vlax-true)
)
)

Why not set up separate profiles for each of you. That is what they are for.

 

you could also setup a profile.
When you get the settings the way you like them, use the OPTIONS command, click on the profiles tab, and save your user settings. Then have the other person do the same thing.

 

Jason,

Thanks for the help. I will give it a shot monday morning. The reason I didn't setup a different user profile is the company I work for has an "administrative profile" for all users. I could get around this but its not worth getting fired over. Just as easy to code it in lisp and go on my way without stepping over any boundaries.

 

Others are suggesting AutoCAD profiles as the way to go, and it is. I
assume you are referring to Windows profiles. Look in
AutoCAD->Tools->Options->Profile.

 

Daniel's right. You should use an Acad profile to save these kinds of
preferences. To make it fully automatic, you could use an acad.lsp file
which would set the appropriate profile current based on the network login
name.
