getsysvar and getangdir [individual methods for seprate system variables]
hi,
oddbdatabasefff"> has got a method for system variables getsysvarfff"> (and setsysvar too).
odresbufptr oddbdatabase::getsysvar( const char* name)
these too methods are well documented. and if we use functions like getangdir(), getauprec()fff"> etc....fff"> but where are these functions listed.. i couldn't find any place where these methods are declared. how are you declaring these methods... and for how many system variables you have got individual methods.. there is nothing written about these methods.. (it confuses many times, plz help!)
which one is better keeping performance in mind... is it getsysvar("angdir") or getangdir()
thanks...

getsysvar("angdir") or getangdir() should do the same.
i think it is better to use the getangdir(), because it returns the value directly in the type that you want and not packed in resbuf. in the first version (getsysvar("angdir")) you need to write more code to get the value of the variable.
to see the list of the sys vars that are supported, and to check their types and initial values, please open the file sysvardefs.h - the variables listed there can be used with the setxxxx or getxxxx prefixes as members of the oddbdatabase operations.
btw you can get the description of the system variables from the autocad help files.
hope this helps.
