    Default Where is Floating Model Space Cannoscale value stored in Object Model?

    I have a need to check/set floating model space's cannoscalevalue. Is the only way to get it by tiling to floating model space and then using getvar/setvar, or is it stored somewhere in the object model? Setting it is not really a problem, but checking it would be nice so my drawing setup programs do not have to tile back and forth every time a drawing is opened. Any one found it's hiding place?

    It's hiding.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    yes, its hiding, but it only allows you to read the scale, dont try to change it using that code, it will really screw some stuff up (speaking from experience)

    I removed the code I had posted. I have not figured out how to modify that dxf code to associate with the proper scale.

    Its not just your code, I used Tim's to write my own that did what yours did (reverse engineering) and it failed just like yours, so I am more along the lines of recommending not to reverse Tim's code to modify the cannoscale. speaking of which, if you can get your program to make a viewport current automatically, why cant you use the setvar command to modify the current viewport's cannoscale?

    I have no idea. I'm still trying to figure out why I can't modify the entity list for the viewport.

    Thanks for answering. The code you linked to works for a viewport, not floating modelspace. I need the cannoscale value for floating modelspace. I tried adapting the code to check for the modelspace object, but the value isn't stored there in the same way.
