LWDISPLAY automatically turns on when file is opened PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 01 April 2006

On some systems, LWDISPLAY, which is typically a DWG-stored variable, automatically gets set to 1 in every file that is opened. Like other CAD Managers, I've seen this on only a handful of systems, but on those affected systems it is consistent. It's not a bug in the profile, nor is it introduced anywhere in the custom startups (acad.lsp, acaddoc.lsp, .mnl).

Workarounds: Add the following to your acaddoc.lsp: 

(if (eq (getvar "lwdisplay") 1)(setvar "lwdisplay" 0))

Alternately, you can right click on the LWT icon on the status bar, and adjust the display scale to "minimum" on the affected systems.

First Appeared: AutoCAD 2006
Status as of 2006 SP1: Still evident
Status as of 2007: Cursory testing is unable to reproduce bug. Tough luck 2006 customers.
