    Hi there,
    I need to store the value of a variable in the drawing (e.g. the scale). there are a few user-defined systemvariables but these could be overwritten by a different application.

    Does anybody have an idea where and how to store these values in the drawing?

    ThanX a lot for your help.

    aside frome dictionaries/xrecords
    look into standard xdata, attached
    to a layer or any object, and the
    vlax-ldata-* functions


    user-defined systemvariables but these could be overwritten by a different application.

    LData isn't exactly "forward-thinking", however. Ever tried to get to LData
    from VBA? BwaHaHa!!!
