TEXTEVAL (System Variable)

Controls how text strings entered with TEXT (using scripts or AutoLISP) or with -TEXT are evaluated.

Type:Integer
Saved in:Not-saved
Initial value:0

0

All responses to prompts for text strings and attribute values are taken literally.

1

All text starting from an opening parenthesis [(] or an exclamation mark [!] is evaluated as an AutoLISP expression, as for nontextual input.

The TEXT command takes all input literally regardless of the setting of TEXTEVAL unless it is executed completely with a script or AutoLISP expression. The -TEXT command honors the setting of TEXTEVAL.
