Hi,

I want to convert a .DWG to PDF and I want to initiate via a menu-command. So I tried it with the basic Convert-option but the problem is that Solidworks by default uses Inches and my drawings are in mm. This I correct by using Advanced Script Options and inserted the next code:

'***************************************************************************

        'Manual code to force use of MM

        Set importData = swApp.GetImportFileData(docFileName)

        importData.LengthUnit("") = SwConst.swLengthUnit_e.swMM

'****************************************************************************

This works fine.

However, now I need to use the scale as well, and the scale isn't constant so I need to read the scale from the DWG-file (it is in the title-block, named "SCHAAL") or I need to fetch it from the datacard since this value/card variable is already filled during bulk check-in.

I don't know how to read the variable from the datacard or directly from the DWG-file.

As soon as I know this I can also fetch the paper-size since Solidworks doesn't handle it correctly if it is done automatically.

Someone please help?

Kind regards,

Kees
