Greetings all,

I'm trying to write a script that will reset the drawing limits according to the dimscale using the following code:

LIMITS
0,0
'cal
getvar(dimscale)*[36,24]

zoom all

It appears to work fine, i.e. no errors, but the upper limits aren't being set. Anything wrong here?

Thanks,

Keith
 
I tried getvar(dimscale)*[36,24]
and it returned 3 numbers separated by commas (such as 36,24,0)
which was probably rejected by the limits command
 
FYI - here's a solution that works very well:

LIMITS
0,0
(list (* (getvar 'dimscale) 36) (* (getvar 'dimscale) 24))
zoom all

Thanks
