HyperPics: Beyond the UI

Updates to the System Variable References Available

Updates to the System Variable References have been completed.  So what has been updated... well some of the system variables have been updated with some information from older releases and the latest release, along with the new system variables being added.  Two resources are being released today and those are the online chart of all the system variables that span the latest of 10 releases of AutoCAD, R12 through 2007. The second resource that is being released is the System Variable Quick Guide that shows which system variables are available by release and when they saw any past updates, basically a portable version of the online chart.  However, the online chart if you are a member contains different information for each system variable that is listed in the chart.  For more information follow the link below.

Click here to access the System Variables page.

Quick Data Stats:
613 system variables have been documented
85+ new system variables in AutoCAD 2007
Spans 10 releases - R12 through 2007

To download the PDF and access the extended information of the chart you will need to be a member of HyperPics.com. Membership is free, so there is no reason to not sign up and gain access to the additional resources.

System Variable Document Updates Coming

Over the past few days I have taken a step away from my regular day to day project work and have been working on updates to my system variable database and PDF files. The first set of updates will be available within the next few days which will include a fully updated web database that will include all the newly added system variables in AutoCAD 2007 and some other small updates to the content. The information in the online table is extended if you are a member of HyperPics.com and are logged in. Once logged in you will have additional information about the system variables, and it will only be a click away. In some cases it is information that is not available in the latest version of AutoCAD, or gives some information on what might have changed with a system variable in a particular release.

The second update that will be released will be the System Variables Quick Guide in PDF format which is an off-line version of the online chart that shows which variables are available from R12 through 2007... Yes, 10 releases of AutoCAD.

A future update is planned for the System Variables Extended Guide in PDF format at a later date which will take all of the information that is available via membership only and put it into a single PDF document that can be viewed or printed. The PDF document will only be made available to members only, yet another reason to sign up for a free membership today.

Sincerely,
