Scientific to Decimal

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 10:27:28 GMT

Hello,

Drawing was after using recovering set to Scientific. How can i change this back to decimal?

Not working:

- Units, drawing is set to decimal en unitless.

- -dwgunits command does not work.

Thx

Added drawing, geometry, Elevation gives 1.0000E+099, this should be 1,0.

Your 2D drawing has Z elevations, which since it's 2D and laying on the X/Y plane, it probably should not. Look for yourself, select your objects, start PROPERTIES, sort by object type and look at the Z settings.

Your UCS is also rotated. I did the basics to your file to show you what all is wrong with it, hopefully I flattened those Z settings correctly as well. You'll have to fix the angles etc.

Thx for the reply.

I think my Flatten Z macro might be broken.

^C^C_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0,-1e99;

can u check what it should be?

In de macro it states 1e99, these numbers should not be there right?

Btw, u fixed the drawing correctly. I know the ucs was changed, but thats no problem.

I found your other answer here on te forum about Flatten Z. That the macro sometimes gives this strange fault.

I will change te properties, as u described.

That macro has issues in some files, it's not the way to go sometimes.
I flattened your file in Full AutoCAD.
