psltcale

hi

it seems the psltscale system variable
saves the setting (0 or 1) in each layout
tab and not in the drawing, as the help
file indicates, is there a way to set it
to 0, globally to all layouts, i cannot
seem to find it anywhere...

; IAcadLayout: The plot settings and visual properties of a model space or
paper space block
; Property values:
; Application (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadApplication 00b9b5e4>
; Block (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadBlock2 0ed76664>
; CanonicalMediaName = "Letter_(8.50_x_11.00_Inches)"
; CenterPlot = 0
; ConfigName = "None"
; Document (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadDocument 0ed687e0>

; OwnerID (RO) = 2115771600
; PaperUnits = 0
; PlotHidden = 0
; PlotOrigin = (0.0 0.0)
; PlotRotation = 1
; PlotType = 5
; PlotViewportBorders = 0
; PlotViewportsFirst = -1
; PlotWithLineweights = -1
; PlotWithPlotStyles = -1
; ScaleLineweights = 0
; ShowPlotStyles = 0
; StandardScale = 16
; StyleSheet = ""
; TabOrder = 2
; UseStandardScale = -1
; ViewToPlot = ""

 

I don't think so. I recall looking into this once
and setting each layout current and changing the
variable was the best I could do. Not sure if
anything has changed since then.

 

you could create a reactor that changes the variable whenever the layout
changes

 

good point,

the vlr-layoutswitched reactor does the job but...
when the user creates a "new layout" it will come
in as psltscale 1, i do not know where else to add
a reactor, will the layout command do, will that take care
of the right click interface of the layout tab too??

for now i have added a reactor at the plot command,
which ensures the setting, but somewhat confusing...

TIA

 

(knowing just enough about reactors to be dangerous)
could you create a reactor to detect creation of viewports (triggered by
"new layout") which checks/sets psltscale?
