Help,
I just purchased AutoCAD 2004 LT, am fairly new to the program (I learned on 2002), I used to set the architectural units to scale under the mvsetup command, and now can not find where to do this?

Is it not within the tools pull down and units ?

Hi, No it is not, there are units on the tools pulldown, but you can only change the units, not set the scale once the units are set, I have been looking for a week.
Thanks,

Within lt 97 it's basically the same as 2000i. Pull down the dimension menu then style and you get the screenshot below.

Also hit f1 for the help file and then search using this 'setting overall scale'
This gives a full explaination.

Type in the command line> mvsetup

and it works to set up your dwg. scale, etc.

Orbit,
When I type in mvsetup in the command line, it says unknown command?
Any suggestions,
Thanks,

I ran it in 2000i it just sems to do a layout setup ?

Maybe just do it manually ?

Hi everybody. Mvsetup is a lisp command, see folder Support, mvsetup.lsp AutoCAD LT does not support LISP :roll:
