Hi to all,

I want to know what is Lisp of built-in Scale command of AutoCad, I want to use default scale command value 0.8 every time rather than 1.0 (which is default value set by Cad). Where are these default values found in AutoCad.

Thanks.

This can do the trick instead of the built-in scale command , and permanently with value 8.0 .:)

 

(defun c:Test (/ selectionset intger point)
 (vl-load-com)
;;; Tharwat 12. march. 2012 ;;;
 (if (and (setq selectionset (ssget "_:L"))
          (setq point (getpoint "\n Specify base point :"))
     )
   (repeat (setq intger (sslength selectionset))
     (vla-scaleentity
       (vlax-ename->vla-object
         (ssname selectionset (setq intger (1- intger)))
       )
       (vlax-3d-point point)
       8.0
     )
   )
   (princ)
 )
 (princ)
)

ASAIK, They've always been hard coded into AutoCAD and therefore not negotiable. -David.

 

That is if you are talking about the scale parameter via INSERT command.

Hi Tharwat,

Thanks for your help, yes this is what I needed. I'll add this Lisp in startup suite content in the AutoLisp Loadapplication so that when I use scale command I don't have to write 0.8 every time on every drawing I open.

Thanks for your help.:)

What is it you need anyway? tell us the big picture

Hi pBe,

I don't mean to change Cad's standard commands, just wanted to change Scale command's default value 1.0 to 0.8. I am working on too many drawings. All of them were edited to make some changes but now we need some of old data from unchanged drawings and scale them a little bit like 0.8. Tharwat made a Lisp which works as I wanted.

Hope you understand.

Hi David,

Alright no problem if they are unable to change. I wanted to change Scale command's value 1.0 to 0.8. Tharwat made a Lisp which works fine. Thanks.
