save-as 2000 in 2005

i've been searching through the help file in 2005

is there a system variable to change the default save from 2004/5 format to
2000?

 

Check the options dialog, there should be a selection under open & save tab

 

Thanks, but I'm aware of the dialog box... I was hoping to do it through
lisp...

 

I've used the following snippet of code in my acad.lsp to set the
default...you'll have to figure out what to change "acr15_dwg" to for 2005
(I don't have 2005 yet)...perhaps "acr18_dwg"?

*snip*
;;set the default File SAVEAS format to be 2000 (v15)
(setq acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)
acadPref (vlax-get-property acadObj 'Preferences)
)
(vlax-put-property
(vlax-get-property acadPref 'OpenSave)
'SaveAsType
acr15_dwg
)
*snip*

 

Try this:

(setenv "DefaultFormatForSave" "12")

(setenv "DefaultFormatForSave" "24") to set it back to 2004 format

 

Thanks for the code gentlemen!
