block drag-and-drop units ?

Greetings Masters, Gurus and Wizards of the AutoCAD VBA Realm,

version: AutoCAD 2005

Where is the "drag-and-drop units" property of a block in VBA? I have a suspision that it's in some hidden place like XData, or a dictionary or maybe only even accessible via LISP. Then again, I may just be getting old and missed it :-) ...

GREATLY appreciated....

Your humble apprentice in electronic magic,

Just to shed a bit more light on the subject. I am referring to the "drag-and-drop units" property of the Block command and the "Insert Units" property of the WBlock command. I am trying to locate this property of a block definition in VBA.

Thanks,

Kevin.

Kevin,

It is stored in XData on the block definition, under the ACAD AppName,
DesignCenter Data, the 2nd 1070 group code.

Thanks Robert... found, done, app written - running smoothly. Used it to manage units of blocks in "Block Library" drawing referenced by blocks in Tool Palette.

Cheers.

Easier than setting the XData - if creating a block, you can do this...

Dim Blk1 as IACADBlock3

Units is a property of this block object, just set it when you create the block
