Type: | Integer |
Saved in: | Drawing |
Initial value: | 0 |
Sets drawing units as English or metric. Specifically, MEASUREMENT controls which hatch pattern and linetype file an existing drawing uses when it is opened.
0 | English; AutoCAD LT uses the hatch pattern file and linetype file designated by the ANSIHatch and ANSILinetype registry settings |
1 | Metric; AutoCAD LT uses the hatch pattern file and linetype file designated by the ISOHatch and ISOLinetype registry settings |
The drawing units for new drawings are controlled by the MEASUREINIT registry variable (MEASUREINIT uses the same values as MEASUREMENT). The MEASUREMENT setting of a drawing always overrides the MEASUREINIT registry setting.
