what is the point of saving this block every single time you save the
same
drawing? if the variables are set in the drawing do they not stay that
way?
or do things with survcad change these variables and do not change them
back?
if i open and edit a drawing in the core acad, it does not change
anything
and i can go my merry way.. why do things change from one setting to
another
and then do not go back to the way they were. take label contours for
example, the program works good (if there are no 0 length poly line
segments) but you need to reset the osnaps after each use.
maybe the programmers should look into this for next builds... things
have
changed enough to maybe go thru all of the codes and lisps to see if the
most efficient AutoCAD features are being used. like i said before, i
know
it takes huge amounts of time, trial and error to create a program like
this.. i have a hard time creating Flash files..
i personally, do not want to create a harddisk cluttering ini file with
every save, i don't create bak files either. give us the option to
create
this survset block or not. i choose not to create this block.

I've mentioned a while back that this block doesn't always get saved.
Sometimes you will need to save a second time until you get the
message......Redefining block "SURVSETV". I believe it does not save
it on
the first save attempt after opening, but I'm not sure.

personally i like one less block in the drawing... smaller
drawing...
Without this block, the drawing will not remember things like
Horizontal
Scale, Metric vs. English, text size, symbol size, etc.
Drawing size is virtually not affected
24,286 bytes (without block)
25,904 bytes (with block)
but could this be the problem that i am having with the drawings
after
opening they get changed so i have to either save or not to close
the
drawing rather then just closing it?
No, the block is only written when you save or when you make a change
to
one
of the affected settings.
