My users are going to draw glasses (windows... and so on). They want to draw them using milimeters units. How can I adjust the units?. How can I modify the viewport display: the lower left corner to be the point 0,0... and so on... I am using mostly VBA.
Thank you very much.

Yolanda,
You can set the Drawing Units to Decimal using a VBA Setvar method.
Also set the drawing limits to accomodate the drawing unit 1 mm = 1 drawing unit.
Scales become important especially dimension units ie. 1:10 1:20 1:50 and the all important 1:100 that is used by most Architects for drawing windows.
All these variables can be set using the Setvar methods.
To enforce these settings you can use VBA Events such as Startup in the Workspace Object.
