Setting DIMSCALE

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am getting a Error with this code:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.SetSystemVariable("DIMSCALE", 12.0);

I am getting a "eInvalidInput" error.

Not sure why you would get eInvalidInput on that, but I would just set the property on the Database object.

Get a reference to the database and use database.DimScale = 12

It works now...  I have to Lock the Document. 😞

Ahh... Didn't think of that.  It must be because of where you are calling it from, such as from code running in a Form, or from a command in the Session context.
