    Hello,
    lot of preferences in AutoCAD (dialog-box "options") I can read/write
    with VBA (for example: Application.Preferences.System.SingleDocumentMode =
    False).

    I have Mechanical 2005. There is in the dialog-box "options" also the "AM:
    Norm" preferences tab
    with a textbox to setting the template-file.
    How can I read the name from this template-file in the text-box with vba?

    Thanks.

    Dim mcApp As McadApplication
    Set mcApp =
    ThisDrawing.Application.GetInterfaceObject("Mcad.Application")
    mcApp.ActiveDocument.SetVariable "variablenamehere"

    do a search under the mechanical help for 'system variables' to find exactly
    what variable name you need to change (note this code is for mechanical
    desktop so you might need to change syntax slightly for acadm)
