But original OP requested 901-902.9 => 902 ... i.e. (1-3 => 2; 3-5 => 4...) If I understood you, you want (0-2 => 2; 2-4 => 4...) and not (0-2 => 1; 2-4 => 3...) For (0-2 => 2; 2-4 => 4...) : (cond ( (= (rem (fix elevation) 2) 1) (setq layername (strcat "CONTOUR_EL" (itoa (1+ (fix elevation))))) ) ( t (setq layername (strcat "CONTOUR_EL" (itoa (+ (fix elevation) 2)))) ) ) For (0-2 => 1; 2-4 => 3...) : (cond ( (= (rem (fix elevation) 2) 1) (setq layername (strcat "CONTOUR_EL" (itoa (fix elevation)))) ) ( t (setq layername (strcat "CONTOUR_EL" (itoa (1+ (fix elevation))))) ) )

Glad to hear that BIGAL and eldon have gotten you back on the tracks. You should explore the -DWGUNITS command, which is quite informative and helpful in such situations. I suggest increasing the commandline history window to about 6 lines, to give you some overview of the conditions in your drawing. I would open a COPY of a file, and play around with it, until you feel you understand the functionality included. READ the commandline prompts very carefully, don't rush, so that you better understand and remember. The numbers displayed <THUSLY> indicate the current settings in your open drawing. For instance Unit for length <3> means that the drawing units are currently set to Millimeters.

I am not quite sure that you are understanding how AutoCAD works with dimensions. Just because you start with a metric template does not automatically make Imperial dimensions become metric dimensions. AutoCAD works in drawing units, which you are free to choose what those units are. So the drawing with your import will probably be showing 6 drawing units instead of 6 inches. If you have a dimension of 6 inches in the drawing, you have to import it scaled so that the 6 inch dimension actually shows 152.4 drawing units. So take BIGAL's advice and scale by 25.4.

We need more information about your issue. What types of objects are not getting updated? Are you using annotative text? Could the changes be on layers that are frozen in the viewport? Is the viewport clipped? Those are just some of the visibility issues. If it's not visibility, it would help if you posted a copy of your drawing.

Maybe scaling the entire object 25.4 will make mm when you dim. You have some reference points to make sure that original is 1:1 in inches. No pdf's so not sure.

I'm not sure why this would be happening since viewports are just windows into model space, so any changes to the model should automatically display in your viewports. Are you using Viewbase or Viewedit? if so, maybe this article will help: Unable to create, edit, or update Viewbase views in AutoCAD
