Plot Scale

[Anonymous]

When you go to plot, and the Dialog box comes up, there is an option on the
"Plot Settings" tab, under the Paper Size drop down you can select "inches"
or "mm". This allows you to set the ratio of 'number of drawing units to
the number of (inches or mm)'
Does anybody know how i can read this value??
It has to be there somewhere i just can't find it?

Does this help?

(vla-get-paperunits
(vla-get-activelayout
(vla-get-activedocument
(vlax-get-acad-object))))


;0 = inches
;1 = mm

Remarks

This property determines the units for
the display of the layout or plot configuration in the user interface. This
property does not determine the units for input or query of the ActiveX
Automation properties. All ActiveX Automation properties are represented in
millimeters or radians, regardless of the units settings.

Changes to this property will not be
visible until after a regeneration of the drawing. Use the Regen method to
regenerate the drawing.
