Default Style

[trekfan]

Hello,

I apologize in advance for asking such a simple question, but I am struggling to change my display styles in Autocad. I am running 2008 MEP and I would like to have the default setup for any new drawing I open to have the snaps off, the grid off, and the view style to be realistic. I will admit that I am a Solid Works user and am familiar with that enviroment. Please forgive me if I am asking a obviously simple question. I have made a few google searches in vain before coming here.

Hi trekfan,

You need to set these variables in your default template, which is probably Acad.dwt unless you've changed it.

If these are not set in the template drawing, you can include them in either a LISP or DIESEL expression in Acad.lsp which can be set to load for every drawing.
