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

[pcsyoga]

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?

cannoscale? is this a 2008 thing?

It's hiding.

It's hiding.

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.
