Stores the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started.
Type: | Integer |
Saved in: | Not-saved |
Initial value: | Varies |
The number of milliseconds stored in MILLISECS is equivalent to the value returned by the GetTickCount function in the Windows API. When the system is restarted, the number of milliseconds returned by the GetTickCount function is reset to 0.
You can compute the differences in time by subtracting the numbers returned by MILLISECS. The number of seconds can be computed by dividing the value of MILLISECS by 1000.
In AutoCAD-based products, not AutoCAD LT, AutoLISP can be used to calculate the number of seconds from the value returned by MILLISECS.
(setq ms (getvar "MILLISECS")) (setq seconds (/ ms 1000.0))
