Storage location:

CAD drafting System Variable Monitor 12 - the variable is stored in the registry. Always retains its value.

CAD software System Variable Monitor 13 - the variable is stored in the document. Its value changes only for a specific document.

CAD drawing System Variable Monitor 14 - the value of the variable is saved only for the current session. After closing the program, the value is reset.

CAD drafting System Variable Monitor 15 - no storage place. The value is stored until the document is closed.

Sorting is performed by clicking on the column heading or by selecting an item in the menu, which opens by a long click on the heading.

In addition to the direct and reverse alphabetical order, the variables can be sorted by frequency of use (More popular) and time of change (Most recently) during an active session of the program.

Value of Variable

The value of the system variable, which can be entered or selected from a list of fixed variants. Gray (muted) typeface indicates variables with constant values. If the value of a variable differs from its initial value, it is displayed in blue font. In most cases, the initial value is given in the variable description at the bottom section of the panel.

Click in this column opposite the variable to start tracking the change of the variable. Turned off lightbulb CAD drafting System Variable Monitor 21 will appear, meaning that the variable has not yet been changed since the start of its tracking. If the value of the variable is changed (by a command or by a user), the bulb will “light up”: CAD software System Variable Monitor 22.
