Units Question (probably obvious)

[Anonymous]

We need to find out the unit type of an open AutoCAD 2004-6 drawing using VB6. This seems like it should be easy but the information is proving hard to find. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

If the drawing is in mm and the block inserted into it is in inches, and is 12 inches long, will the block be 12 mm long on the drawing?

Ouch... Idiocy is not being
able to find what's under your
nose especially after it's been
rubbed in it.

If your skin is that thin, stop being
so lazy. Also, you got something
to say, be a Man and post it to me.

You may wish to look at this post - http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=479912

In it are several VB scripts detailing how to link InsUnits & its associates together.
I use the last VB script on that post (the one created by myself).

Hope it may be of help
