Blocks too small in 2006

Just upgraded from 2004 to 2006 and when inserting blocks I find they are coming in too small by a factor of 12. My line lengths read the same as before. Is there some accommodation made for architectural in 2006 that I'm not aware of? Thanx

Or search this forum for those same three settings. It's pretty well covered.

What lower case "e"? ; )

Thanks for catching that. I was interrupted and fired it off without review.

I think the left side of my brain overshot the right lobe!

It's there, I could open it. May be a problem on Todd's end.

In addition to INSUNITS I have:

(command "INSUNITSDEFSOURCE" "0")
(command "INSUNITSDEFTARGET" "0")

This link will help also:

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=6274608&linkID=9240778

I converted units in 500+ blocks in a couple of minutes with this tool.

Can I just append that to my Lisp file? I never got up to speed with lisp so
pardon my ignorance.

It may be a result of using Outlook Express?

Since I didn't see an attachment either using OE.

But in checking the WebPage DG, I can now see Joe's Lisp file as an
attachment. ;0)
