Thanks for the condescending reply
I am a beginner trying to apply some code to a practical purpose. We all
have to start somewhere. Could you do me a favour and not answer any more
of my queries.

Regards

Dave

And it wasn't condescending... it was a hint.

David,

While in the VBA IDE, press F2 to bring up the Object Browser. In the
list of objects on the left, look for AcadPViewport. Once selected, the
list on the right will show you all the methods and properties
associated with that object, including its scale.

While Robert's reply was terse, it was good advice. Get into the habit
of pressing F1 for help and F2 for the Object Browser.

You must be a friend of Fred Fiumara, my drafting teacher in high
school. He taught me the two most important things I learned in school:

1. What your quote says
2. It's not how busy you are, but how busy you look that matters.

Both very valuable lessons! 😄

"It's not how busy you are, but how busy you look that matters."

- And you sound like an old associate of mine. Ions ago in the dark ages
of board drafting, the guy who sat next to me could sleep sitting up on
his stool with his lead holder held perfectly - upright, slightly tilted
and touching the vellum.

Did he twitch occasionally, so it looked like he was moving the lead holder?
