New 2006 sysvars          
Here are a few of the new sysvars for 2006 (ok, one of them is not new, but it's worth mentioning again.)


CENTERMT - Concerns moving a corner grip on center justified MTEXT.

  • If set to 0, the MTEXT will move also.
  • If set to 1, the MTEXT will remain in place (same as r2005 and earlier behavior).


DTEXTED - Specify editor for TEXT entities.

  • 0 = use the default in-place text editor.
  • 1 = use legacy edit text dialog box (same as r2005 and earlier behavior).


MTEXTED - Specify editor for MTEXT entities. Although not a new sysvar, there is a new option.

  • . = use the default in-place text editor.
  • internal = use the default in-place text editor.
  • notepad = use Windows Notepad (you can specify any external editor)
  • oldeditor = use legacy mtext editor (same as r2005 and earlier Mtext editor)


OSNAPZ - Specify Z coordinate when using Object Snap.

  • 0 = Osnap uses Z coordinate from picked point.
  • 1 = Osnap substitutes value of sysvar ELEVATION for the Z coordinate.


SHOWLAYERUSAGE - When turned on, Layer Manager will show which layers are used in the current drawing.

  • 0 = Off
  • 1 = On (this may cause a decrease in Layer Manager performance)
