I am using ACAD2000 with Windows 2000. All was file, then I wrote a lisp to preset some setvars, Then my paperspace display lost the shadow & margins in the display. Have set & reset the checks in the Options\Display with no change. Also have changed the colors several times, no help. (color will change but no shadow or margins) The tab displays as all white, no shadow or margins. Here is a list of var I set.. (setq var (list (list "angbase" 0 ) ; (list "angdir" 0 ) ; CCW (list "apbox" 0 ) ; Aperture box off 0 (list "aperture" 10 ) ; zone of detection (list "aunits" 0 ) ; 0 = degrees 4 = survey (list "auprec" 4 ) ; no od decimal places (list "autosnap" 7 ) ; (list "blipmode" 0 ) ; o = blips off (list "chammode" 0 ) ; require 2 distances (list "cmddia" 1 ) (list "cmdecho" 1 ) (list "coords" 1 ) (list "cursorsize" 5 ) ; size of cross (list "dimaso" 1 ) ; (list "dimsho" 1 ) (list "dragmode" 2 ) ; display outline (list "dragp1" 10 ) (list "dragp2" 25 ) (list "edgemode" 1 ) ; trim to extension (list "expert" 4 ) (list "facetres" 2 ) (list "filedia" 1 ) (list "filletrad" 0 ) (list "fillmode" 1 ) ; (list "gridmode" 0 ) ; grid off (list "grips" 1 ) ; (list "gripsize" 3 ) ; grip box size (list "highlight" 1 ) (list "insbase" (list 0 0 0)) ; (list "isolines" 4 ) (list "limcheck" 0 ) ; 0= allow create obj outside limites (list "lunits" 4 ) ; 4=Arch 2=decimal (list "luprec" 5 ) ; decimal places displayed for linear (list "maxactvp" 50 ) ; max viewport to be regenerated (list "maxsort" 500) ; max num of layers to sort in layer manager (list "mbuttonpan" 1) ; (list "measurement" 0) ; English (list "measureinit" 0) ; English (list "mirrtext" 0 ) ; 1=mirror text 0=backwards test (list "offsetgaptype" 0 ) ; (list "osmode" 175 ) (list "pickadd" 1 ) (list "pickauto" 1 ) (list "pickbox" 3 ) ; the pick box size (list "pickdrag" 0 ) (list "pickfirst" 1 ) (list "pickstyle" 1 ) ; (list "plinegen" 0 ) ; (list "plinetype" 2 ) ; (list "plinewid" 0 ) ; pline width (list "plotrotmode" 1) ; align lower left plot area with LL of paper (list "polarmode" 1 ) ; (list "projmode" 1 ) ; (list "proxygraphics" 1) ; (list "proxynotice" 1) ; (list "proxyshow" 1) ; (list "qtextmode" 0 ) ; 1=display box ILO text (list "regenmode" 1 ) (list "savetime" 30 ) ; minutes between auto save 0=no auto save (list "sdi" 0 ) (list "snapang" 0 ) (list "snapbase" (list 0 0)) ; hatch base point (list "snapisopair" 0 ) (list "snapmode" 0 ) (list "snapstyl" 0 ) (list "snaptype" 0 ) (list "snapunit" (list 1 1)) (list "sortents" 96) (list "splframe" 0 ) (list "textfill" 1 ) ; plot with text filled (list "textqlty" 50 ) ; text resolution of TT font while plotting (list "textsize" 5 ) ; default text size (list "tooltips" 1 ) (list "trimmode" 1 ) (list "tstackalign" 1 ) (list "tstacksize" 70 ) (list "unitmode" 0 ) (list "ucsfollow" 0 ) (list "ucsicon" 0 ) ; 0=no display 3=display icon at origin (list "worldview" 1 ) (list "visretain" 1 ) ; retain layer state (list "zoomfactor" 10 ) ) ); setq (mapcar '(lambda (x) (setvar(car x) (cadr x)) ) var)
PLOTROTMODE must = 2 if you had previously set Options to not Display margins, they will show up whenever PLOTROTMODE is changed. personally i've noticed very inconsistent results when setting up plots in autocad. this is just another example blargh
