Here is my Wish List item for the next go round.

[dmarx]

I want the ability to disable INSUNITs completely. I dont mean "set to 0" or any of those "work arounds" that only work part of the time. I want the ability to disable INSUNITS to the point that Acad does not recognize the commands exist.




Someone please make my month and tell me there already is a way!

I'm not sure I understand how setting INSUNITS is a work around and that it only works part time, care to enlighten us as to what's happening?

If you find that the setting is being changed back, perhaps you might want to add a line of code to your startup.lsp

I'm gonna move this to the Civil3D Wish List forum (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=100).

I'm not really sure how to explain it. The problem is, i can change variables for one set of blocks and that seems to work fine. But if i move on to a diferent set, those settings need to be adjusted. My main problem is with in upgrading software the systems and setups that have been used for years effectivly are now being Forced to change. I understand that adapting is necessary, and there are reasons. But, This was never a issue for me or my firm, only on rare occasion was there a problem inserting from a diferent scaling system. So, i think it would have been nice to have the option of being able to disable any of the INSUNIT commands.

And if i understood why the various blocks do not enter a drawing correctly i most likely would have fixed it by now.

This was more of a rant, being as i am trying to do what should be a simple task that has now become a headache.

Ok, I just checked the Wishlist and none, I mean NONE, of the wishlist items I suggested seem to be on the list. Some of I thought were pretty good, like my proximity fault on Civil 3D, the ability to use XREFs in modeling,...

What is the DEAL?

I dunno, this really wasn't even supposed to be a actual wishlist item, i was just having a bad day yesterday.

My question was really directed at Brenda Richardson.

I think some of the Civil 3D wishilist items got lost when they shuffled the forrums around. I had a few that were in there that are also not shown anymore.

I was actually talking about the forrums. I had a couple of thread items on the wish list page that seemed to disappear when they switched the forrums around.

The current ballot is for vanilla AutoCAD. Any wishes that were for a vertical application will not be on that ballot. The wish list team is working to provide a wish list for each vertical application.

Ok, Thanks for the information.

Hi Frederick,

I can only assume you are referring to the current wish list ballot (http://www.augi.com/autocad/ballot.asp). If indeed this is the case, as Richard points out, that particular wish list is only for Vanilla AutoCAD improvements. As of right now, all other wish lists consist simply of wishes posted in the respective forums.

We are currently working on creating new wish lists for the other Autodesk products, but this all takes time. We will be introducing them one at a time, with the next one hopefully being introduced in March.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and remember, I am always looking for volunteers who will be willing to assist with these wish lists when they start up :)

hi,
i have the same problem with no current good solution. you may want to try

(command "insunits" 0)
(command "insunitsdefsource" 0)
(command "insunitsdeftarget" 0)

in your startup procedure (acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp or equivalent).

i'm not happy with this because of other reasons but if i reach the point of giving up, then i'll go back to this. (i still have time for further experimenting...)
