Hi everyone,
I am looking for a VBA that when you xref a drawing, it reads the dimscale of the drawing that is going to be XREF into the drawing.
Background.
For my detail sheets I XREF in the details one at a time and scale them manually enter in a factor of taking the scale of the detail (not the Dimscale) and dividing it by 12.
examples:
3/4"=1'-0" wood be 0.75/12 = 0.0625 is the insert scale
1"=1'-0" would be 1/12 = 0.083333333 is the insert scale
I would like when xrefing each of the details that the scale be done automatically or if this can't be done, I would like a pulldown menu with a list of scales that has the factor for that detail scale.
One problem I see, how do you take the dimscale of 16 (for 3/4" =1'-0") and get the insert scale of 0.0625?
Thanks,
Kyle C.
