Topic Title

I am looking for a way to find the basic settings for Datacad at startup. I cannot find a variable set that tells DCAL which cale type is being used as defined in the Settings Menu Ditto angles. Are there registry settings or an ini file that contains this info.

I am working on a couple of VCL components to handle distances and angles and displays vary according to current settings. Thanks for any comments!

Greetings Joe,

You can edit both the scales and angles while in any drawing file, and then save the revised lists as your new defaults. They will then be loaded into any drawings that use the default lists.

The one caveat is for the scales: changing this can affect any MSP sheets, since the scales are "order dependent". If you want to avoid this, save the scales as a new name, and then load that file into your default drawing file(s) -- so that any new drawings you start will use the revised scales list. Also, you can just load this list into any current drawings that you need it in.

Do all this in the Settings/Edit Defs menu. IHTH
