(getvar,insunits) but it will only give the index number (1-21) 1=inches 4=millimeters for example.

The Measurment variable will only return "0" for Imperial or "1" for Metric.

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.
