steven-g Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (getvar,insunits) but it will only give the index number (1-21) 1=inches 4=millimeters for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Measurment variable will only return "0" for Imperial or "1" for Metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) The MEASUREMENT variable merely sets which hatch patterns and linetypes are used - metric or imperial. Drawing units for new drawings are controlled by MEASUREINIT Just to confuse matters, I mostly draw in metre units and present drawings at 1 to 200 scale. I find the imperial linetypes are easier to use at a linetype scale of 1. Edited October 22, 2020 by eldon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
