    At work I am using AutoOrtho (part of procad suite)

    Can somebody tell me which variable contains the scale of drawing?

    See attachment

    Thanks a lot

    Hi,

     

    >> Can somebody tell me which variable contains the scale of drawing?

    From your dialog I guess you think about CANNOSCALE (>>>details<<<), but it's just the scale-variable for annotative-objects, not for the drawing itself!

    AutoORTHO hijacks the current DIMSCALE value to use as a scale factor for inserting blocks.  Older versions of the program would store the value in one of the USERnnn system variables.
