ortho/polar tracking setting in lsp

I am currently getting the current value of ortho/orthomode in a lsp
routine. I then set it to whatever I want for my specific task. My
problem comes when setting ortho back to its original setting prior to
leaving routine. If the user has polar tracking set instead of ortho, it
will not set the setting back to polar tracking. It sets ortho on
instead. Does polar tracking have its own variable that I can get its
value? Is there other ways this can be accomplished?

thanks,

The problem surely comes from the fact that Ortho and Polar can't be put at
ON together. The variable AutoSnap is good for many settings like polar.
If you save the initial value of AutoSnap at the beginning of your program,
and put back the initial value at the end, Polar should be like it was at
the beginning. So, if Polar was ON, the variable Orthomode is surely 0.
hope I have helped you!

For Polar Tracking see PolarMode, PolarAddAng, and PolarAng.

Make various setting using Dsetting dialog box and check effect on the
various system variables: ortho, polarmode, etc. until you find the
combination you need.
