(getvar "env.acadreleasename") $(getvar, env.acadreleasename) 3. Visual LISP (VLISP) (vl-load-com) (vla-get-SystemVariables (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) 4. Command Line (Quick Check) Simply type:
(setvar "modemacro" "Running $(getvar, env.acadreleasename) - Ready") It is important not to confuse these two:
In the world of AutoCAD and its衍生品 (derivatives) like AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Architecture, and Mechanical, system variables and environment parameters form the backbone of automation, customization, and debugging. Among these, env.acadreleasename is a powerful, read-only system variable that provides developers, administrators, and power users with precise information about the running AutoCAD environment. env.acadreleasename
(setq acadVer (getenv "acadreleasename")) (cond ((wcmatch acadVer " 2024 ") (load "features-2024.lsp")) ((wcmatch acadVer " 2023 ") (load "features-2023.lsp")) ((wcmatch acadVer " 2022 ") (load "features-2022.lsp")) (t (alert "Unsupported AutoCAD version!")) ) When deploying custom CUIx (menu) files or ARX applications, you can verify that the user is running a compatible release before loading critical extensions. 3. Debugging and Logging In enterprise environments, when a user reports an error, your error handler can log env.acadreleasename to help isolate whether the issue is version-specific.
| Feature | env.acadreleasename | ACADVER | |---------|------------------------|-----------| | | "AutoCAD 2024" | "R24.3" | | Readability | High (user-friendly) | Low (developer-oriented) | | Includes LT/Full | Yes | No | | Includes service pack | Sometimes (e.g., 2022.1.2) | Rarely | | Best for | UI messages, user feedback | Exact API/COM compatibility checks | (getvar "env
Unlike the more common ACADVER (which returns a more cryptic, build-oriented code like "24.3s (LMS Tech)" ), env.acadreleasename returns a human-readable, user-friendly product name.
( getenv "acadreleasename" ) inside AutoCAD’s command line and press Enter. 1. Version-Specific Scripts If you maintain a library of LISP routines that behave differently across AutoCAD versions (e.g., different command syntax or function availability), you can use env.acadreleasename to branch logic. Among these, env
Next time you fire up AutoCAD and need to know exactly what release you are on—without digging through the About box—just reach for (getenv "acadreleasename") .
