Locking the Units for a dwg
Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:38 amAnyone please help.
I create an new drawing using a template and have the units specified to metres degrees minutes seconds etc.
For the majority of my work the units remain the same as those set, however when I use some Carlson routines these units get reset to Surveyors Units etc. this is becoming increasingly frustrating.
I have narrowed down one of the routines as using the area command, I select say area by closed lines or lines/entities and then it calculates the area in metres squared which is what is required.
If I then check the units tab these have somehow been reset to surveyors units and therefore need to be reset time and time again.
My question is whether there is a way to set the units and LOCK them in so that no routine changes them unknowingly?
Thanks anyone for your help
