AutoCAD 2012 Tips: by Ignacio Arrúe Matilla

Ignacio Arrúe Matilla is an architect at OpenCartis in Spain, and he sent me some details of AutroCAD 2012:

I can access "removed" system variables -- BlipMode, ScreenMenu, and so on -- through AutoLISP: (setvar "blipmode" 1) and (setvar "screenmenu" 1). This last ones displays screen menu, even though I can't see it in the .cuix file.
The new associative array object acts like a block, and so the Clip command and the new NCopy command work on it. Very useful!

Chamfer and Fillet commands now preview the chamfers and fillets when the cursor passes over the second object or the polyline, but this works only when SelectionPreview is set to 2 or 3; previewing does not work when the sysvar is set to 0 or 1.

To cusomize the SCREENMENU in the CUI, you have to redefine the command. http://tinyurl.com/4y4hypm
