Lists variables in related groups

Lists variables alphabetically by description (rather than by name)

Lists variables whose values are changed from the initial (default) values:

Make a change to a variable, and it will show up here. This is handy for figuring out what might have changed.

To change a value back to the default:

1. Right-click the name

2. Choose Restore Default Value from the shortcut menu

Search for variables, configures how the search is carried out, and specifies how differences are handled; displays a dialog box:

Search - finds variables and limits where the program searches:

• Find What - specifies the search phrase
• Find - executes the search
• Find Where - determines which part(s) of the Settings dialog box should be searched
• Match Case - when on, search phrase's capitalization must match that of the words in the Settings dialog box

Modified Settings - determine which variables are displayed by the Show Differences dialog box:

• Display All - lists variables whose values have changed
• Display Settings Stored in Drawing - lists variables that affect the current drawing
• Display Settings Not Stored in Drawing - lists variables that affect all drawings
• Display Modified Settings in a Different Color - when on, displays changed entities in a color other than black
• Color swatch - click the color swatch to choose a different color

Real-time search field that lists variables when you enter the first few letters of their names or descriptions.

As you type into the search field, BricsCAD immediately jumps to the first item that matches the letters. For instance, when entering “lastpoint,” the following occurs:

1. l — focus jumps to Insertion Unit, because the description contains the letter ‘l’

2. la — focus jumps to Unit Mode, because ‘la’ is in “displayed” in the description

3. las — focus jumps to Text Angle, because of ‘las’ in “last” of the description

4. lastp — focus jumps to Last Point

As you enter text, the color of the search box changes:

• Green - one word matches the search phrase; you have arrived!
• White - two or more words match the search phrase; click the Next and Previous buttons to review them
• Orange - no words match the search phrase; check your spelling

Jumps to the next candidate that matches the search phrase
