What System Variable is this? I can't seem to find it.

@mdhutchinson It's stored in the registry. You can access it using

(vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-machine-product-key) "\\Profiles\\" (getvar"cprofile") "\\Defaults\\AecBase70\\DwgSetup\\Imperial")  "ScaleOnInsert")

and overwrite it

(vl-registry-write (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-machine-product-key) "\\Profiles\\" (getvar"cprofile") "\\Defaults\\AecBase70\\DwgSetup\\Imperial")  "ScaleOnInsert" 1)

0 - unchecked 1 - checked

I am not sure if plain AutoCAD has this setting. It shows up on my Civil 3D though.
