    Default Block library, block scale, dimscale,ltscale

    I have this part of Autocad 2008 interface that on some computers it is on and others it is off. I cannot find the name of it or how it turns on or off. can anyone assist?
    It is placed in the bottom left of the AC interface (see attached image).

    No one in my office knows what it is or how it got there.

    any thoughts?

    Thanks

    Looks like it's from a Modemacro statement, probably in your acaddoc.lsp file (maybe acad.lsp, acad2008.lsp or acad2008doc.lsp)

    So this would be customized by someone in the office then.....not a standard feature.

    Ok I will look....any suggestions on what it might be called?

    Thanks

    It may be in a lsp file that starts when you start acad... Startup Suite, 3rd Party Application...

    Here is an example:

    Code:
    (setvar "modemacro"
                     (strcat "dimscale = $(getvar, dimscale), Go Dawgs!"))
             (cond (acet-ql-set (acet-ql-set '((60 . 4)))))
             (acad-pop-dbmod)
    It will display the dimscale.

    Does anyone know how to put that in a button? I have LT so I can't do LISP and the button macro apparently won't accept the $ the way I'm intending it.

    So, if I enter

    ^c^cmodemacro;Style: $(getvar, textstyle);

    as a button macro, I end up with

    Style: textstyle)

    in the bottom left corner.
