To Set a System Variable Value

The AutoCAD JavaScript tutorial demonstrates how you can set a value for any system variable in AutoCAD using JavaScript.

1. Use the following JavaScript code to set the value for the COORDS system variable to 1:

   var sysvarObject = Acad.SystemVariableCollection.getSystemVariable("coords");
   sysvarObject.value = 1;

2. Save the file as SysVar.js.
3. Register the domain from where you want to load the JavaScript file using the TRUSTEDDOMAINS sysvar.

   (setvar "TRUSTEDDOMAINS" (strcat 
   (getvar "TRUSTEDDOMAINS") ";mywesbite.com"))

4. Use the WEBLOAD command in AutoCAD to load the SysVar.js file.

   (command "_.WEBLOAD" 
   "http://mywebsite.com/files/SysVar.js")

5. From the AutoCAD command line, enter COORDS. The system variable value is set to 1.
