In this case, the first argument is the name of the global variable, and the expression in the second argument
defines the global variable value.
Exercise: create a new variable (“var_2”) in the variable editor,
and assign it to the function setting the value of a global variable.
If a global variable with the specified name already exists, then its
value will be modified. If the variable with the specified name
does not exist, then it will be created and displayed in the main
pane of the Global Variables dialog box. If a global variable is
defined in the drawing by one of the functions, setg or tsetg, then
opening this drawing in a different user account (on a different
computer) creates the global variable on that account/computer
automatically.
Note that global variables can be used, for example, for automatic
creation of drawing documentation. Suppose, the user creates a
global variable - the developer's name. The value of this variable
can be entered in the title block of the drawing by using the
described functions. Thus, a portion of the title block template will
be filled in automatically as you insert the title block.
