Topic: Unexpected Change in scale inserting block with Autocad17

[Giuseppe Beatrice]

Have you noticed that in Autocad17 a block defined with the system variable INSUNITS to 0 (no unit) is now scaled according to the value assigned to the same variable in the destination drawing? So a block drawn in millimeters and inserted in a drawing with INSUNITS equal to 6 (meters) is automatically scaled with a factor of 0.001, with an INSUNITS value in the block definition equal to 0 or 4!
This is a serious problem because a block inserted in a point pt with a Lisp instruction
(command-s "_.- insert" "blockname" "_sc" 1 pt "0")
is every inserted with the scale 0.001 instead of 1.
Why the hell Autocad must now work so I don't know; is there anyone who can suggest some simple way to restore the correct insertion with scale 1?
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked your INSUNITSDEFSOURCE setting?

[Giuseppe Beatrice]

Thank you Roy, that's the solution.
I have checked the 3 system variables INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE and INSUNITSDEFTARGET to 6 (meters) and everything is back working regularly!
Only, I continue to consider the idea of Autodesk to be a very bad idea.
They had offered one more chance and so they took it off!
Happy New Year
