a script would be great actually. then we can generate different drawings with different units / scales / paper settings
OdWriteEx from OpenDesign creates something similar: a bunch of rectangles, each with a text label and an entity inside, e.g. "Aligned Dimension" and below a rectangle with an aligned dimension inside
the example drawings should contain:
- an instance of every supported entity type (line, arc, circle, all dimensions, block insert, text, hatch, solid fill, ...)
- lines in all available widths
- lines in all available types
- lines in all available (fixed) colors and some custom colors
script should be able to generate example drawings for different:
- units
- drawing scales
- paper sizes
- paper settings (background color, multi page settings, etc.)

what does "drawing scales" means? "Viewport scale" as used in settings for printing -> page?
Yes, so we can generate drawings that print / convert to PDF 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, etc.
It's the document variable "PageSettings/Scale", stored as string "1:1".
