VB AutoCAD Preferences

[SerialCoder]

I wrote a routine in VB that

Installs All Network Printers
Copies our Standard PC3 Files to the client machine
Copies the Lisp Routines to the client
Sets all of the preferences that are standard to our users

This thing is great but I cant seem to figure out where to access 2 of the preferences.

The first is a radio buttion in the Preferences>Plotting dialoge that should be checked

General Plotting options > Use Plot Device Paper Size

the Other is under Preferences>Selection>selection Mode should have "Assosiative Hatch" Selected. I cant seem to figure either of these out. Any insight would be great.

Thanks

Not all Preference settings are exposed with the AX API. How about editing the registry?

Are these settings in the registry? Is there a reference for this published?

Thanks for the reply

They should be in the registry. I know the Associated Hatch is called 'Pickstyle'. I don't know offhand what the other is. The easiest way to tell is to go to options and use the '?' on it - it will tell you the name of the System Variable it is. Then search the registry for it.
