drawing coordinates & metric scale

T

Hi

A couple of hopefully simple questions:

1. When I call the Page.Drop() method, the X & Y coordinates seem to
be in inches. I need all my drawings in metric scales, so I want to
use millimetres here too. I thought I'd set my drawing correctly:

page properties - millimeters
drawing scale - custom, 1mm = 1mm

Does this method deal in inches only ?

2. Is there any way to customise the orientation of the coordinate
system? I'm importing diagrams which have the 0,0 intersection at
*top* left rather than bottom left. If I could invert the y axis in my
template then I wouldn't have to do any coordinate translation. I
can't see how to control this via the object model.


cheers

Tim
