AECDWGSETUP
« on: July 26, 2016, 11:42:18 PM »
Anyone have any idea how to insure the "Scale Objects Inserted From Other Drawings" remains turned off.

It seems like this is per drawing, and can get turned on.  It's located in two places. Under the drawing settings and under the command "AECDWGSETUP"

Try the SettingsUnitZone.ScaleObjectsFromOtherDrawings Property:

It is a per drawing setting so you better turn it off in the template you use.

Not sure why one would want it turned off, unless there is no control over units within the drawings/blocks one is inserting?

What blocks/drawings are being adversely affected?  If it is your own content fix the units, if it's from others you wont know that until they insert incorrectly anyway,
so it is just as easy to adjust them after you know their units setting(s).


And as stated above, set it in the template.  And verify INSUNITS setting is as desired as well.

The best option is off because this setting will scale the objects first while keeping the scale factor 1. No you will never know the original size.

It is better to insert objects and manually scale them, if needed.

Turning on the Match AutoCAD variables is also the best option, imo. Else it is possible to have different drawing units for Civil 3D and for AutoCAD functions.

Thanks! Wanted to turn it off because the standard autocad variables are enough (insunits for example). This one keeps messing with things lol
