DatabaseScale
Double; read-write
The database (horizontal) scale. For example, for a 1:200 scale, type 200.
Remarks
The database (horizontal) scale controls the size of annotation placed in the drawing, including text, scaled blocks and special lines. It does not affect the line lengths or point coordinates because they are always defined in real world coordinates, not to any scale. Neither does it affect any design data in the drawing or project files.
If you change the DatabaseScale property in the middle of a drawing session, then any annotation added subsequently is scaled accordingly.
