To turn off arrowheads, enter a single period (.). For a list of arrowheads, see DIMBLK. !DIMBLK2|String|Drawing| Sets the arrowhead for the second end of the dimension line when DIMSAH is on. To turn off arrowheads, enter a single period (.). For a list of arrowheads, see DIMBLK. !DIMCEN|Real|Drawing|0.0900 Controls drawing of circle or arc center marks and centerlines by the DIMCENTER, DIMDIAMETER, and DIMRADIUS commands. For DIMDIAMETER and DIMRADIUS, the center mark is drawn only if you place the dimension line outside the circle or arc.\n\n 0 No center marks or lines are drawn\n<0 Centerlines are drawn\n>0 Center marks are drawn\n\nThe absolute value specifies the size of the center mark. !DIMCLRD|Integer|Drawing|0 Assigns colors to dimension lines, arrowheads, and dimension leader lines. Also controls the color of leader lines created with the LEADER command. The color can be any valid color number. Integer equivalents for the BYBLOCK and BYLAYER properties are 0 and 256, respectively. !DIMCLRE|Integer|Drawing|0 Assigns colors to dimension extension lines. The color can be any valid color number. See DIMCLRD. !DIMCLRT|Integer|Drawing|0 Assigns colors to dimension text. The color can be any valid color number. See DIMCLRD. !DIMDEC|Integer|Drawing|4 Sets the number of decimal places displayed for the primary units of a dimension. The precision is based on the units or angle format you have selected. !DIMDLE|Real|Drawing|0.0000 Sets the distance the dimension line extends beyond the extension line when oblique strokes are drawn instead of arrowheads. !DIMDLI|Real|Drawing|0.3800 Controls the spacing of the dimension lines in baseline dimensions. Each dimension line is offset from the previous one by this amount, if necessary, to avoid drawing over it. Changes made with DIMDLI are not applied to existing dimensions. !DIMDSEP|Single character|Drawing|Decimal point Specifies a single-character decimal separator to use when creating dimensions whose unit format is decimal.\n\nWhen prompted, enter a single character at the command line. If dimension units is set to Decimal, the DIMDSEP character is used instead of the default decimal point. If DIMDSEP is set to NULL (default value, reset by entering a period), AutoCAD uses the decimal point as the dimension separator. !DIMEXE|Real|Drawing|0.1800 Specifies how far to extend the extension line beyond the dimension line. !DIMEXO|Real|Drawing|0.0625 Specifies how far extension lines are offset from origin points. If you point directly at the corners of an object to be dimensioned, the extension lines do not touch the object. !DIMFIT|Integer|Drawing|3 Obsolete. Has no effect in AutoCAD 2000 except to preserve the integrity of pre-AutoCAD 2000 scripts and AutoLISP routines. In AutoCAD 2000, DIMFIT is replaced by DIMATFIT and DIMTMOVE. !DIMFRAC|Integer|Drawing|0 Sets the fraction format when DIMLUNIT is set to 4 (Architectural) or 5 (Fractional).\n\n0\tHorizontal\n1\tDiagonal\n2\tNot stacked (for example, 1/2) !DIMFXL|Real|Drawing|1.0000 Sets the total length of the extension lines starting from the dimension line toward the dimension origin. The length is set in drawing units. !DIMFXLON|Switch|Drawing|Off Controls whether extension lines are set to a fixed length. When DIMFXLON is on, extension lines are set to the length specified by DIMFXL. !DIMGAP|Real|Drawing|0.0900 Sets the distance around the dimension text when the dimension line breaks to accommodate dimension text. Also sets the gap between annotation and a hook line created with the LEADER command. If you enter a negative DIMGAP value, AutoCAD places a box around the dimension text.\n\nAutoCAD also uses DIMGAP as the minimum length for pieces of the dimension line. When calculating the default position for the dimension text, it positions the text inside the extension lines only if doing so breaks the dimension lines into two segments at least as long as DIMGAP. Text placed above or below the dimension line is moved inside only if there is room for the arrowheads, dimension text, and a margin between them at least as large as DIMGAP: 2 * (DIMASZ + DIMGAP).\n\nDIMGAP also sets the gap between a tolerance symbol and its feature control frame. !DIMJOGANG|Real|Drawing|45 (90 for metric) Determines the angle of the transverse segment of the dimension line in a jogged radius dimension. Jogged radius dimensions are often created when the center point is located off the page. !DIMJUST|Integer|Drawing|0 Controls the horizontal positioning of dimension text.\n\n0\tCentered along the dimension line between the extension lines\n1\tNext to the first extension line\n2\tNext to the second extension line\n3\tAbove and aligned with the first extension line\n4\tAbove and aligned with the second extension line !DIMLDRBLK|String|Drawing| Specifies the arrow type for leaders. To turn off arrowhead display, enter a single period (.). For a list of arrowheads, see DIMBLK. !DIMLFAC|Real|Drawing|1.0000 Sets a scale factor for linear dimension measurements. All linear dimension distances, including radii, diameters, and coordinates, are multiplied by DIMLFAC before being converted to dimension text.\n\nDIMLFAC has no effect on angular dimensions, and is not applied to the values held in DIMRND, DIMTM, or DIMTP.\n\nIf you create a dimension in paper space and DIMLFAC is not set to zero, AutoCAD multiplies the distance measured by the absolute value of DIMLFAC. In model space, negative values for DIMLFAC are ignored, and the value 1.0 is used instead.\n\nAutoCAD computes a value for DIMLFAC if you try to change DIMLFAC from the Dim prompt while in paper space and you select the Viewport option.\n\nDim: dimlfac\nCurrent value <1.0000> New value (Viewport): v\nSelect viewport to set scale:\n\nAutoCAD calculates the scaling of model space to paper space and assigns the negative of this value to DIMLFAC. !DIMLIM|Switch|Drawing|Off Generates dimension limits as the default text. Setting DIMLIM to on turns DIMTOL off.\n\nOff\tDimension limits are not generated as default text\nOn\tDimension limits are generated as default text #DIMLTEX1|String|Drawing| Sets the linetype of the first extension line. The value is BYLAYER, BYBLOCK, or the name of a linetype. #DIMLTEX2|String|Drawing| Sets the linetype of the second extension line.

(Multiply a value by 2.54 to convert values from inches to millimeters.) !DIMLWE|Enum|Drawing|-2 Assigns lineweight to extension lines.\n\n-2\tSets the lineweight to "ByBlock."\n-3\tSets the lineweight to "ByLayer."\nOther valid values entered in millimeters include 0, 5, 9, 13, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 53, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 106, 120, 140, 158, 200, and 211.\n\nAll values must be entered in millimeters. (Multiply a value by 2.54 to convert values from inches to millimeters.) !DIMPOST|String|Drawing|"" Specifies a text prefix or suffix (or both) to the dimension measurement. For example, to establish a suffix for millimeters, set DIMPOST to mm; a distance of 19.2 units would be displayed as 19.2 mm.\n\nIf tolerances are turned on, the suffix is applied to the tolerances as well as to the main dimension.\n\nUse <> to indicate placement of the text in relation to the dimension value. For example, enter <>mm to display a 5.0 millimeter radial dimension as "5.0mm." If you entered mm <>, the dimension would be displayed as "mm 5.0." Use the <> mechanism for angular dimensions. !DIMRND|Real|Drawing|0.0000 Rounds all dimensioning distances to the specified value. For instance, if DIMRND is set to 0.25, all distances round to the nearest 0.25 unit. If you set DIMRND to 1.0, all distances round to the nearest integer. Note that the number of digits edited after the decimal point depends on the precision set by DIMDEC. DIMRND does not apply to angular dimensions. !DIMSAH|Switch|Drawing|Off Controls the display of dimension line arrowhead blocks.\n\nOff\tUse arrowhead blocks set by DIMBLK\nOn\tUse arrowhead blocks set by DIMBLK1 and DIMBLK2 !DIMSCALE|Real|Drawing|1.0000 Sets the overall scale factor applied to dimensioning variables that specify sizes, distances, or offsets. Also affects the scale of leader objects created with the LEADER command.\n\n0.0\tAutoCAD computes a reasonable default value based on the scaling between the current model space viewport and paper space. If you are in paper space or model space and not using the paper space feature, the scale factor is 1.0.\n>0\tAutoCAD computes a scale factor that leads text sizes, arrowhead sizes, and other scaled distances to plot at their face values.\n\nDIMSCALE does not affect tolerances or measured lengths, coordinates, or angles. !DIMSD1|Switch|Drawing|Off Controls suppression of the first dimension line.\n\nWhen turned on, suppresses the display of the dimension line and arrowhead between the first extension line and the text. !DIMSD2|Switch|Drawing|Off Controls suppression of the second dimension line.\n\nWhen turned on, suppresses the display of the dimension line and arrowhead between the second extension line and the text. !DIMSE1|Switch|Drawing|Off Suppresses display of the first extension line.\n\nOff\tExtension line is not suppressed\nOn\tExtension line is suppressed !DIMSE2|Switch|Drawing|Off Suppresses display of the second extension line.\n\nOff\tExtension line is not suppressed\nOn\tExtension line is suppressed !DIMSHO|Switch|Drawing|On Obsolete. Has no effect except to preserve the integrity of scripts.\n\nIn versions of AutoCAD prior to 2004 it controled the redefinition of dimension objects while dragging. Associative dimensions recompute dynamically as they are dragged. On some computers, dynamic dragging can be very slow, so, set DIMSHO to off to drag the original image instead. DIMSHO is not stored in a dimension style. !DIMSOXD|Switch|Drawing|Off Suppresses drawing of dimension lines outside the extension lines.\n\nOff\tDimension lines are not suppressed\nOn\tDimension lines are suppressed\n\nIf the dimension lines would be outside the extension lines and DIMTIX is on, setting DIMSOXD to on suppresses the dimension line. If DIMTIX is off, DIMSOXD has no effect. #DIMSTYLE|String|Drawing|Standard DIMSTYLE is both a command and a system variable. The DIMSTYLE system variable shows the current dimension style. To display the DIMSTYLE system variable, use the SETVAR command. The DIMSTYLE system variable is read-only; you cannot change its value on the command line. To change the current dimension style, use the DIMSTYLE command. !DIMTAD|Integer|Drawing|0 Controls the vertical position of text in relation to the dimension line.\n\n0\tCenters the dimension text between the extension lines.\n1\tPlaces the dimension text above the dimension line except when the dimension line is not horizontal and text inside the extension lines is forced horizontal (DIMTIH = 1). The distance from the dimension line to the baseline of the lowest line of text is the current DIMGAP value.\n2\tPlaces the dimension text on the side of the dimension line farthest away from the defining points.\n3\tPlaces the dimension text to conform to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). !DIMTDEC|Integer|Drawing|4 Sets the number of decimal places to display in tolerance values for the primary units in a dimension. !DIMTFAC|Real|Drawing|1.0000 Sets a scale factor used to calculate the height of text for dimension fractions and tolerances. AutoCAD multiplies DIMTXT by DIMTFAC to set the fractional or tolerance text height. !DIMTFILL|Integer|drawing|0 Controls the background of dimension text.\n\n0\tNo background\n1\tThe background color of the drawing\n2\tThe background specified by DIMTFILLCLR !DIMTFILLCLR|Integer|Drawing|0 Sets the color for the text background in dimensions. Color numbers are displayed in the Select Color dialog box. For BYBLOCK, enter 0. For BYLAYER, enter 256. !DIMTIH|Switch|Drawing|On Controls the position of dimension text inside the extension lines for all dimension types except ordinate.\n\nOff\tAligns text with the dimension line\nOn\tDraws text horizontally !DIMTIX|Switch|Drawing|Off Draws text between extension lines.\n\nOff\tVaries with the type of dimension. For linear and angular dimensions, AutoCAD places text inside the extension lines if there is sufficient room. For radius and diameter dimensions that don't fit inside the circle or arc, DIMTIX has no effect and always forces the text outside the circle or arc.\nOn\tDraws dimension text between the extension lines even if AutoCAD ordinarily places it outside those lines. !DIMTM|Real|Drawing|0.0000 Sets the minimum (or lower) tolerance limit for dimension text when DIMTOL or DIMLIM is on. AutoCAD accepts signed values for DIMTM. If DIMTOL is on and DIMTP and DIMTM are set to the same value, AutoCAD draws a tolerance value.\n\nIf DIMTM and DIMTP values differ, the upper tolerance is drawn above the lower, and a plus sign is added to the DIMTP value if it is positive.\n\nFor DIMTM, AutoCAD uses the negative of the value you enter (adding a minus sign if you specify a positive number and a plus sign if you specify a negative number). !DIMTMOVE|Integer|Drawing|0 Sets dimension text movement rules.\n\n0\tMoves the dimension line with dimension text\n1\tAdds a leader when dimension text is moved\n2\tAllows text to be moved freely without a leader !DIMTOFL|Switch|Drawing|Off Controls whether a dimension line is drawn between the extension lines even when the text is placed outside.

AutoCAD accepts signed values for DIMTP. If DIMTOL is on and DIMTP and DIMTM are set to the same value, AutoCAD draws a tolerance value.\n\nIf DIMTM and DIMTP values differ, the upper tolerance is drawn above the lower and a plus sign is added to the DIMTP value if it is positive. !DIMTSZ|Real|Drawing|0.0000 Specifies the size of oblique strokes drawn instead of arrowheads for linear, radius, and diameter dimensioning.\n\n 0\tDraws arrowheads.\n>0\tDraws oblique strokes instead of arrowheads. The size of the oblique strokes is determined by this value multiplied by the DIMSCALE value. !DIMTVP|Real|Drawing|0.0000 Controls the vertical position of dimension text above or below the dimension line. AutoCAD uses the DIMTVP value when DIMTAD is off. The magnitude of the vertical offset of text is the product of the text height and DIMTVP. Setting DIMTVP to 1.0 is equivalent to setting DIMTAD to on. AutoCAD splits the dimension line to accommodate the text only if the absolute value of DIMTVP is less than 0.7. !DIMTXSTY|String|Drawing|"Standard" Specifies the text style of the dimension. !DIMTXT|Real|Drawing|0.1800 Specifies the height of dimension text, unless the current text style has a fixed height. !DIMTZIN|Integer|Drawing|0 Controls the suppression of zeros in tolerance values. DIMTZIN stores this value when you enter it on the command line or set it under Primary Units in the Annotation dialog box.

You can enter a period (.) to specify the current visual style. DRAGVS can only be set to a visual style that is saved in the drawing.\n\nDRAGVS has no effect when the current viewport's visual style is set to 2D Wireframe.\n\nThe visual style specified for DRAGVS cannot be removed with the PURGE command. !DRAWORDERCTL|Integer|Drawing|3 Controls the draw order functionality when editting or inheriting from objects.\n\n0\tDisables draw order display until the drawing is reopened or a REGEN is completed. Newly created objects do not inherit draw order from the original object.\n1\tDraw order display is retained after an object is editted. Once the object is modified it will be displayed on screen at the correctly based on its original draw order.\n2\tDraw order for object inheritance is turned on.

No history is retained.\n1\tSets the History property to Record for all solids. All solids retain a history of their original objects. !SORTENTS|Integer|Drawing|127 Controls the OPTIONS command (from the Selection tab) object sort order operations. SORTENTS uses the following bitcodes:\n\n0\tDisables SORTENTS\n1\tSorts for object selection\n2\tSorts for object snap\n4\tSorts for redraws\n8\tSorts for MSLIDE command slide creation\n16\tSorts for REGEN commands\n32\tSorts for plotting\n64\tSorts for PostScript output\n\nTo select more than one setting, enter the sum of the settings' codes. For example, enter 3 to specify sorting for both object selection and object snap.\n\nThe initial value of 96 enables sorting for plotting and PostScript output only. Setting additional sorting options can result in slower regeneration and redrawing times. !SPACESWITCH|Integer|Registry|1 Controls whether or not the user is allowed to double click on a Viewport in a layout and enter Model Space.\n\n0\tDisables the double clicking on a Viewport and doesn’t allow the user to enter Model Space\n1\tAllows the user to double click on a Viewport and enter Model Space !SPLFRAME|Integer|Drawing|0 Controls the display of splines and spline-fit polylines.\n\n0\tDoes not display the control polygon for splines and spline-fit polylines.

Only the defining mesh of a surface-fit polygon mesh is displayed (not the fit surface). Invisible edges of 3D faces or polyface meshes are displayed. !SPLINESEGS|Integer|Drawing|8 Sets the number of line segments to be generated for each spline-fit polyline generated by the Spline option of the PEDIT command. Valid settings range from -32768 to 32767. If you set SPLINESEGS to a negative value, AutoCAD generates segments using the absolute value of the setting, and then applies a fit-type curve to those segments. Fit-type curves use arcs as the approximating segments. Using arcs yields a smoother generated curve when few segments are specified, but the curve can take longer to generate. !SPLINETYPE|Integer|Drawing|6 Sets the type of curve generated by the Spline option of the PEDIT command.\n\n5\tQuadratic B-spline\n6\tCubic B-spline #SSFOUND|String|Not saved|"" The path and file name for the location of the sheet set that is associated with the drawing file.

Valid range of values is 0 to 10. !TREEDEPTH|Integer|Drawing|3020 Specifies the maximum depth, that is, the number of times the tree-structured spatial index can divide into branches.\n\n0\tSuppresses the spatial index entirely, eliminating the performance improvements it provides in working with large drawings. This setting assures that objects are always processed in database order, making it unnecessary ever to set SORTENTS.\n>0\tTurns on TREEDEPTH. An integer of up to four digits is valid. The first two digits refer to model space, and the second two digits refer to paper space.\n<0\tTreats model space objects as 2D (Z coordinates are ignored), as is always the case with paper space objects. Such a setting is appropriate for 2D drawings and makes more efficient use of memory without loss of performance.\nNOTE You cannot use TREEDEPTH transparently. !TREEMAX|Integer|Registry|10000000 Limits memory consumption during drawing regeneration by limiting the number of nodes in the spatial index (oct-tree).\n\nBy imposing a fixed limit with TREEMAX, you can load drawings created on systems with more memory than your system and with a larger TREEDEPTH than your system can handle. These drawings, if left unchecked, have an oct-tree large enough to eventually consume more memory than is available to your computer. TREEMAX also provides a safeguard against experimentation with inappropriately high TREEDEPTH values.\n\nThe initial default for TREEMAX is 10000000 (10 million), a value high enough to effectively disable TREEMAX as a control for TREEDEPTH. The value to which you should set TREEMAX depends on your system's available RAM. You get about 15,000 oct-tree nodes per megabyte of RAM.\n\nIf you want an oct-tree to use up to, but no more than, 2 megabytes of RAM, set TREEMAX to 30000 (2 x 15,000). If AutoCAD runs out of memory allocating oct-tree nodes, restart AutoCAD, set TREEMAX to a smaller number, and try loading the drawing again.\n\nAutoCAD might occasionally run into the limit you set with TREEMAX. Follow the resulting prompt instructions. Your ability to increase TREEMAX depends on your computer's available memory. !TRIMMODE|Integer|Registry|1 Controls whether AutoCAD trims selected edges for chamfers and fillets.\n\n0\tLeaves selected edges intact\n1\tTrims selected edges to the endpoints of chamfer lines and fillet arcs !TSPACEFAC|Real|Not saved|1.0000 Controls the multiline text line spacing distance measured as a factor of text height.

Valid values are from 25 to 125. !UCSAXISANG|Integer|Registry|90 Stores the default angle when rotating the UCS around one of its axes using the X, Y, or Z options of the UCS command. Its value must be entered as an angle in degrees (valid values are: 5, 10, 15, 18, 22.5, 30, 45, 90, 180). !UCSBASE|String|Drawing|"World" Stores the name of the UCS that defines the origin and orientation of orthographic UCS settings. Valid values include any named UCS. !UCSDETECT|Integer|Drawing|1 Controls whether dynamic UCS acquisition is active or not.\n\n0\tNot active\n1\tActive !UCSFOLLOW|Integer|Drawing (viewport specific)|0 Generates a plan view whenever you change from one UCS to another. Set UCSFOLLOW separately for each viewport. If UCSFOLLOW is on for a particular viewport, AutoCAD generates a plan view in that viewport whenever you change coordinate systems. Once the new UCS has been established, you can use DVIEW, PLAN, VIEW, or VPOINT to change the view of the drawing. It will change to a plan view again the next time you change coordinate systems.\n\n0\tUCS does not affect the view\n1\tAny UCS change causes a change to the plan view of the new UCS in the current viewport\n\nThe setting of UCSFOLLOW is maintained separately for paper space and model space and can be accessed in either, but the setting is ignored while in paper space (it is always treated as if set to 0). Although you can define a non-world UCS in paper space, the view remains in plan view to the world coordinate system. !UCSICON|Integer|Drawing (viewport specific)|3 Displays the UCS icon for the current viewport using bitcode. UCSICON is both a command and a system variable. It is the sum of the following:\n\n0\tNo icon displayed\n1\tOn; icon is displayed\n2\tOrigin; if icon is displayed, the icon floats to the UCS origin if possible\n3\tOn and displayed at origin.\n\nThe UCSICON command controls the visibility and placement of the UCS icon. Because entering ucsicon at the Command prompt invokes the UCSICON command, you must use the SETVAR command to access the UCSICON system variable. #UCSNAME|String|Drawing (viewport specific)| Stores the name of the current coordinate system for the current viewport in the current space. Returns a null string if the current UCS is unnamed. #UCSORG|3D point|Drawing (viewport specific)| Stores the origin point of the current coordinate system for the current viewport in the current space.
