Protecting my Units

Postby Zeljko » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:09 pm

I am just wandering would it be too much to ask..
The annoying problem that I have is:
My drawing is setup with Units-Angle-Surveyor's Units,
Then when I do - Draw-Arc-“PC-Center-Angle” it change units to Radians.
Then I have to open Units and change Units back to Surveyor’s Units, if you need to do that 50 times in one working day it is really annoying.
Can you in next update make my Units unchanged? Or am I doing something wrong:?

Thanks,

Zeljko

Contact Carlson support about this issue. I have noticed there are several commands, most notoriously the ones use to draw arcs, that set the angular units to radians and then fail to set them back. It's sloppy programming.

If you, or anyone you know, are proficient at programming with VLisp you can write a reactor that will let you know when the units are changed and set them back for you.

Please do report this to support. Commands should not leave changes to variables.

If the original poster is running on Intellicad there are no VLR functions so no reactor. The only VL functions are a minimal handful of utility functions for file access and string manipulation. No VLR- VLA- VLAX- functions that I have noticed.
