EXPERT System Variable

Type: Integer
Saved in:Not saved
Initial value:0


Controls whether certain prompts are issued.

0 Issues all prompts normally.
1 Suppresses "About to regen, proceed?" (BLOCK) and "The current layer is turned off."
2 Suppresses the preceding prompts and "Block already defined. Redefine it?" () and "A drawing with this name already exists. Overwrite it?" (SAVE or WBLOCK).
3 Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by LINETYPE if you try to load a linetype that's already loaded or create a new linetype in a file that already defines it.
4 Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by UCS Save and VPORTS Save if the name you enter already exists.
5 Suppresses the preceding prompts and those issued by the DIMSTYLE Save option and DIMOVERRIDE if the dimension style name you enter already exists (the entries are redefined).

When a prompt is suppressed by EXPERT, the operation in question is performed as though you entered y at the prompt. The setting of EXPERT can affect scripts, menu macros, and the command functions.
