    I am trying to figure out how the scaling works in our menu.. it is set up
    to work with 1/4 and 1/8 scale but we have been getting alot of plans in
    3/16 scale and its a pain to constently have to resacle the blocks that our
    screen menu inputs because it was only made to work at 1/4 and 1/8 inch
    scale.

    here is a line from our menu file if somone can give me a description on how
    the scaling works and what the variables do i would greatly apreciate it

    [TWIST ]^C^CLAYER;S;800;;(SETQ ~SC (IF (< (GETVAR "LTSCALE") 16.0) 1
    1.5));+
    INSERT;F:/DARCEE/SIDEBAR/HVAC/HVACRES/TWIST;NEA;\!~SC;!~SC;

    for now, if the Ltscale is less then 16, then the scale is 1..otherwise its 1.5

    Kinda unusual way to do it, but that macro looks at your LTSCALE setting; if
    it's less than 16.0, it sets the block insertion scale at 1.0, and if
    LTSCALE is equal to or greater than 16, it sets the insertion scale to 1.5.

    Without knowing your shop's specific preferences with regard to LTSCALE and
    plotting scale, it would be difficult tell you how to handle the 3/16 scale
    insertions.
