i know :). for example, if my host is in Milimeter and the xref is in Cantimeter, the xref will be scaled. i want to avoid

1. going back to the the xref

2. unit it to milimiters

3.saving

4. going back to the host

5.import dwg again

 

thanks

So, you are saying that you want to avoid having to do what you need to do in order get the units the same without scaling?

 

That would be a neat trick.

it could be lisped.

but lisp is the last resort.

 

just want to make sure Autodesk didnt provide non-lisp oprion to achive the above.

 

thanks

INSUNITS

INSUNITSDEFSOURCE

INSUNITSDEFTARGET

 

 

i notice that when i set INSUNITS to 0, no scale take place.

 

but i couldn’t get the logic of INSUNITSDEFSOURCE and INSUNITSDEFTARGET.

 

do they control the direction of the units inheritance?, meaning, when the host is going to adopt the units type of the xref (INSUNITSDEFSOURCE) and vise versa.

 

honestly, even now when asking im not really finding full sense of what im talking about.

 

can anyone make an order in this issue?:oops:

Personally, if I want something scaled, I'll do it myself.

That's just me.

 

You're not alone.

 

Trying to work with different units gets me confused. Kind of like working in two platforms (Revit and AutoCAD) at the same time.
