Import DXF, bug ?

Hi all,

I just migrated an old VB program from AutoCAD R14 to 2004. This program
imports DXF files, get the value of MEASUREMENT and acts accordingly to the
drawing units (Metric or Imperial). Everything was fine with R14, but that
is not the case with 2004.With 2004, at the end of the import, the value of
MEASUREMENT is not the one from the DXF file, but the one from the empty
drawing into which the DXF was inserted. That breaks the logic of the
program.

So is it a bug or a feature ? What is the way around ? Note that opening a
DXF file from File > Open is fine. But from VBA, one can only import DXF
files, not open them.

Thanks

It might help,

Here is the code to open a DXF file
ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open PATH & "Filename.dxf"

I didn't check the behavior of the MEASUREMENT variable, I don't need to
bother with it, allways in metric.

Hope this helps.
