Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_TextureMapPath()
    ' This example returns the current setting of
    ' TextureMapPath. It then changes the value, and finally
    ' it resets the value back to the original setting.
    
    Dim preferences As AcadPreferences
    Dim currTextureMapPath As String
    Dim newTextureMapPath As String
    
    Set preferences = ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences
    
    ' Retrieve the current TextureMapPath value
    currTextureMapPath = preferences.Files.TextureMapPath
    MsgBox "The current value for TextureMapPath is " & currTextureMapPath, vbInformation, "TextureMapPath Example"
    
    ' Change the value for TextureMapPath
    newTextureMapPath = "TestTextureMapPath"
    preferences.Files.TextureMapPath = newTextureMapPath
    MsgBox "The new value for TextureMapPath is " & newTextureMapPath, vbInformation, "TextureMapPath Example"
    
    ' Reset TextureMapPath to its original value
    preferences.Files.TextureMapPath = currTextureMapPath
    MsgBox "The TextureMapPath value is reset to " & currTextureMapPath, vbInformation, "TextureMapPath Example"
