returning the last scale factor in a script

Hi all

I've been writing a scipt that has to do a dozen different things, the only
one I can't make it do is return the last scale factor as text and place it
in the the drawing (so people know for certain that the drawing has been
scaled by such & such factor)

Not even sure acad keeps that one,

Thankyou all in advance for you thoughts

Pete

 

post the script (or copy to your message) so that we can see if one of the
values is retrievable.

 

Pete,

You also can use xdata ('Xdata Attachment' from express tools)
attach your scale factor to the scaled object
After it is saved you can it listed by xdlist ('List Entity Xdata' from express tools)

The commands to append in the script are:
Command: xdata
Select object:
Enter application name:
yourapp

YOURAPP new application.

Enter an option
[3Real/DIR/DISP/DIST/Hand/Int/LAyer/LOng/Pos/Real/SCale/STr/eXit] <eXit>:
Real

Enter real number:
5

Enter an option
[3Real/DIR/DISP/DIST/Hand/Int/LAyer/LOng/Pos/Real/SCale/STr/eXit] <eXit>:

New xdata appended.

Good luck

 

If the drawings have a 'common' block insert - such as a Title Block - AND that Title Block is scaled also..you could grab the Title Block, find out if it is 1:1 or not, then place text if scaled.
In script, just load a Lisp e.g.
(load "check_scale.lsp")
And, in that lisp, perform the check on the block, and insert the text also.
