importing a layout from a other template
« on: December 03, 2014, 09:46:14 AM »
I have 2 templates, one for Meters and one for millimeters

When imporing a layout from a library template file, on the millimeter templatefile the blocks on the layout will have blockscale milimeters, all good

When imporing a layout from a library template file, on the Meter templatefile the blocks on the layout will have blockscale unitless, how and why does this happen.

the blocks on the library template file, blockscale are set to milimeters.

using this macro i'm importing the layout
Code: [Select]
^C^C-layout;template;"layouts.dwg";"A0";-layout;d;empty;tilemode;0;

those are set correctly, the strange thing is, they won't scale, they are just beinging imported and the blockscale gets changed to unitless

sounds like there is an issue in the original block definitions then

is that the SAME block being inserted TWICE?

IF yes....possible that you are redefining the original, or not during the insertion process.

please attach copies of the file(s) containing the layouts in question, and the one you are attempting to import them into for further examination
