Title: Command for cannoscale
Post by: lamarn on June 04, 2010, 03:09:10 PM

Is there no normal command to change cannoscale??  :|
I don't like the flyout bar so much, the -cannoscale style is ...
Why isn't there not a normal dialog box..(!?)

Not what i mean, i just want to SET the current in an old-fashioned menu. 
Don't like the default, i hate fly-out toolbars..

It would be nice to have something like a set button in de scalelistedit function.

You can create a toolbar and include all the flyout tools inside it.  :police:

Does this do what you want?

cannoscale 1-1/2" = 1'-0";

Note that you cannot set a scale that doesn't exist in the scale list.

 Seems i have can not make my self more clear.

Then why did you post this in the Auto Lisp forum?

mkweaver has already given you an "ordanairy[sic] AUTOCAD COMMAND"  :  CANNOSCALE

Let's see if I understand.
  1.  You want a way to set your annotation scale factor with simple menu call.
  2.  In addition, you would like that menu call to let you select the scale factor from a simple list.

Item one, can be performed with the snippet I posted using the cannoscale system variable as if it were an autocad command.
Item two, is a bit tougher.  There is no native autocad command that will do this, however, it can be done without too much work, if you have, or are willing to use doslib. http://www.en.na.mcneel.com/doslib.htm (http://www.en.na.mcneel.com/doslib.htm)  We would be glad to help you learn how to do this.

If I've missed what you are wanting entirely, then I'm sorry for being dense - help me understand what you want.

I do not see cannoscale as a command, its system var for manual input.
A simple set button in the scalelistedit will do..
