For example, Angle direction controls the ANGDIR system variable. I emphasize Title because in most cases, the title is different from the actual variable name. Doing so lists all the settings alphabetically based on their Title. If you know the name of the setting you want to modify, you may prefer to display the settings instances rather than categorically. And, you can view all the settings alphabetically or use the Find tool. For example, if you right-click on the SNAP or GRID controls from the status bar and choose Settings, the Settings dialog opens with Snap/Grid settings expanded. Fortunately, you can find most of the settings without having to learn the category structure. While you can access any of the settings by expanding the categories as shown above, there are other ways. If youРІР‚в„ўre coming to BricsCAD from AutoCAD Р’В®, you may find the Categorized view a bit overwhelming at first glance. These include File paths and Open/Save controls just to name a few.Р”В¬ompare includes just one setting that is specific to drawing comparison functionality. The Program options include many of the settings you would find in the AutoCAD Р’В® Options dialog box. The Dimensions category is, as you would expect, dedicated to dimension settings. These include many of the settings you would find in the AutoCAD Р’В® Drafting Settings dialog as well as other locations. The settings in the Drawing category control a variety of drawing behaviors. The Drawing, Dimensions, and Program options tools display the corresponding categorized view.

And, in many cases, you can expand additional subcategories. You can expand each category to access relevant variables. The Categorized tool displays a tree view that groups the variables into the four categories. And, at the bottom, youРІР‚в„ўll find useful information about the selected setting. Below those tools is the list of settings. The tools at the top of the Settings dialog box, allow you to view the settings in different ways. An additional category, Compare, is also included. The settings are divided into three primary categories: Drawing, Dimensions, and Program options. You can even export all them and their values to a CSV file. Tools in the Settings dialog box enable you to find and edit the 900+ system variables and user preferences in BricsCAD. If you prefer graphical access, youРІР‚в„ўll find the Settings tool on the Quad.

ItРІР‚в„ўs like accessing the Options or Drafting Settings dialog boxes in AutoCAD Р’В®. If you like to type, you can access the Settings dialog box with the OPTIONS or DSETTINGS commands. Unlike AutoCAD Р’В®, BricsCAD centralizes all system variables and user preferences in a single dialog box called Settings. Now, itРІР‚в„ўs time to dive deeper! Access the Settings dialog box Welcome back and thanks for joining me on my BricsCAD Journey! In a previous post, I briefly introduced you to the Settings dialog box.
